    think I read that the crowds are just too much for most experienced gamblers at that time

    nowadays, college hoops championship week is the time that alot of hard core gamblers/hoops fans go to stay away from the huge influx

    Conference tourny week? That would be a great time to go with all the action but those 2 weeks are busy as hell. Games starting at all hours of the day, having to stay dialed in on your numbers. Would rather go for less games like the tourny I think

    This.

    The lines at books in strip casinos will be 100 deep with broke dikk fukks and $5 parlays.

    And....from experience, even if you are holding the cssh to drop $2500 on a bet, unless youve got that 5stars card, they will still send you to the back of the line.

    That said, ill be out there w my buddies as well, but going to try off strip soorts book.

    Recommendations welcome...

    I love the TI - it's basically the only place I play Blackjack on the strip. I'll hit you up as it gets closer.

    Don't get me wrong, it's really nice. I played there when I stayed there a month ago. I was just annoyed that I needed a freaking reservation to sit down and watch a few games that I bet AT THEIR BOOK. I get what they are trying to do, but it was just a little off putting. I'll check out the Encore side book - I didn't see it last time.

    Agree with the visit during Conference Tourneys...nothing like it. Not as crowded as the initial Thurs-Sun weekend. MM is one of the best events to watch and enjoy in Vegas.

    Don’t most Vegas properties have sportsbook apps now so you don’t have to wait in line all morning to place bets?
