Vegas March Madness questions!!!!!

I've been hearing horror stories about how busy the sportsbooks are during March Madness, difficulty getting a seat, viewing, drinks and placing bets.  I'll be at Bally's for opening round thursday and friday.  Can you reserve a seat or table in advance?  Just looking for some tips from anyone that has been there during that time.  Any helpful suggesstions would be great.

 

David,
We know how crazy it gets for March Madness so this year we are opening up the Showroom in Paris for the first weekend of the NCAA tournament. We will have betting stations out front so you won't have to run back to the book for halftime wagers or to bet on the next game that is about to start. They also plan to have the bar set up and food will also be available for purchase in the Showroom for the first weekend. There will be plenty of seats available so no need to reserve a spot in advance. Let me know if you have any other questions about March Madness at the hotel.
Thanks,
David Pemberton

Good Morning I'm a rewards member and will be at Bally's for opening rounds of March Madness. I have been hearing horror stories about how crowded it is that time of the year and getting a seat, viewing the games and getting a drink is almost impossible. I was at Paris in Sept for Opening day of College football but really loved Bally's sportsbook. Is there anyway of reserving seats or tables in advance? Any assistance with this matter would be appreciated. We will be there March 19th-22cond. Thanks.

They make it sound like they have it under control, will see. 

I will also be there for opening weekend.  I will be staying at Paris and looking forward to a fun weekend of basketball betting and poker.

May not be a bad idea to juice up the old betjm account in case of getting shut out at the window.

 

Only 23 days untill tipp off of March Madness.

Hilton wasnt bad last year. I was in the ballroom for most of the tourney and I got all my bets in on time and also managed to get an exercise walking to the window....The only thing they need to fix is the piss poor food options.
