March Madness - Best Places to Watch

I am going for March Madness- what are the best casinos to watch the action? Where can you get a seat? Any advice would be appreciated!

March Madness - Best Places to Watch

In past years (have not seen anything yet) I know Ellis Island has a huge party with beer, prizes, etc.

March Madness - Best Places to Watch

The books are madness during the 1st weekend of MM. If you want to go to one of the Strip hotels, get there early, like 7:30 or 8:00 a.m. if you want a table.

We ended up at the Suncoast which is about 20 minutes from the Strip. A ton of chairs, a huge book %26amp; a great casino.

Have fun. MARCH MADNESS IS A BLAST IN VEGAS!!

The first 2 rounds of March Madness is the best. All of the strip sportbooks are great places to watch the games. This is will be my 3rd year going, and have spent time at the Venetian, Bellagio, Mandalay Bay, Paris, and the Flamingo. All are packed. I think to get a seat, you will need to show up at closer to 6 AM rather than 7:30 or 8 AM. I know guys that stay up all night to get seats at Mandalay and Bellagio. What we have done the past couple years is go to the March Madness party at the Flamingo. It cost money to get in (four day pass last year was $45) - but guaranteed seating at tables, food and drink within easy access, separate betting windows, and 4 big projection screens each showing a different game. Well worth the money, in my opinion.

The Flamingo deal, $45 four day pass does that include comp foor or drinks or at least cheap food and drinks??

I have heard of people doing the Flamingo deal before but on a one day admission of $10 or 15 bucks, that was a few years ago?

Any more info would be appreciated.

It includes a food and drink ticket and a t-shirt. This year, they have it in a smaller venue - so it%26#39;s limited to 250 people. Also, I found out that it will be only for 3 days rather than 4. If you buy one day, it%26#39;s $15, 2 days = $25, and 3 days = $35. I can%26#39;t remember if you get an additional food/drink ticket for each day. As for drink prices, it is expensive - something in the neighborhood of $4 a beer. That%26#39;s the one downside, which is a big one for my drunk friends and I. However, the venue this year is the North Tour Lobby (main floor back of the hotel) - so it may be easier to take a quick walk for a cheaper beer. In prior years the event was in one of the ballrooms, and you would have to walk miles to get a cheaper beer.

Hey Events in NY,

are you going to be there this year?

I am with you regarding drunk friends and the beer costs. You pretty much have to win every game just to cover the bar tab!

If your going, see you there. I%26#39;ll be the drunk guy in the Texas Aggie Basketball Jersey smoking and drinking way too much!

I will be there and will keep my eyes open for you. We will be at the Flamingo - already called and purchased the tickets. Also, I found out that the Imperial Palace has a setup at the Royal Halls, which is on the third floor down from the sportsbook. Are the Aggies getting in this year? I%26#39;m a Boston College alum, so I%26#39;m really looking forward to this year%26#39;s tourny.

I am staying at the IP. HOw do you get falmingo tickets. Is there anything at the IP worth attending?

I am jacked up, should be a great time.

Events,

Still keeping fingers crossed for the Ag%26#39;s, We Play OK State tomorrow (Wednesday) at OK State! Easy game, ha ha!

If we can somehow pull that one off, I feel good about our chances. heck for A%26amp;M, even the NIT tournament invite will be a huge success for us. Last year 0-18 in conference play!!! This year pressing for a 20 win season all around. Huge turn around. See you there, Good Luck BC!!!
