Most likely will be at the Mirage sportsbook. How early should we get there each morning? Also does anyone know if any of the vegas sportsbooks have wireless... always nice to do some last minute research before placing bets.

Any tips in general would be helpful...

Take every DOG right down the line....no thinking needed. after Friday you should be around 20-12 or 19-13...something like that.

Went last year and stayed at the Hilton was a blast but be prepared for long betting lines.

Just booked Harrah's 3/15 - 3/19 for the 3rd year

I'll be watching them at Ceaser's, Wynn and of course Bellagio. 3 best books out there in my opinion. Can't fucking wait.

Does anyone know which ballrooms will be open yet????

I was in Vegas this last weekend and the manager at Wynn didn't know if they were going to open one up or not due to "staffing" issues.

Each year it is a crap shoot which casinos will have extra areas open up.

Good Luck to all these people saying they will be going to a sports book to watch games.

I've seen people hold seats in shifts from the night before at places like Mandalay Bay and Ceasers. Last year Planet Hollywood sportsbook didn't have any public seats open. all reserved for big bettors.

Best place to go is the books off the strip. I will be staying at South Point. It was perfect last year. Plus if you want to go to the strip it is a short ride or free shuttle! I recommend it for any serious sports bettor who wants to watch all the games!!!
