    Going to Vegas this weekend but not sure I'm ever going back again

    With all the restrictions and limited eating/shutdown of buffets (I do have some nice restaurant reservations) it just seems like a place where it is always less convenient given their stupid politics and the increasingly shady clientele, to boot.

    What I wanna know is what is a good warm weather place that has a sportsbook for March Madness, so I can give Vegas the finger once and for all?

    Only restrictions are a mask inside

    No big deal in the grand scheme

    Grab a speed boat and go down to Tijuana, Meh-hee-ko. Nice weather. See Caliente. Unless you want to have them swab your ass at the border crossing. They now put a meter up your asshole to check for Covid. Its a new detector.

    I believe they are run by Caesers, BET MGM, and I think Draft Kings has one, not sure on limits, and I hear that they are the same as Vegas..I have an APP, so I just bet on it

    When going to Vegas, stay away from the strip and downtown.

    Go Northwest to the Summerlin area. The have a Marriot which is top notch, golf courses nearby, shopping for the ladies, casino, sports book and restaurants. They have a Coast Casino there also called the Suncoast which isn't nearly as nice as the Marriott, but much more cheap if you're on a budget.

    The secret to Vegas is stay away from the strip and downtown and get out to the resorts that exist outside the city. They also have some nice properties toward Henderson and Boulder City.

    Good posts here. The recap is that March Madness was an all time low, lots of ghetto peeps (as JJ says), super annoying mask restrictions and people being stupid/dicks about it. I think they all got worn down. I make them tell me to where one and barely anyone did. Table games pretty much suck without being able to drink and smoke - sometimes you can drink which just makes the whole thing a dog and pony show (take down the mask? lol). Overall, it was way better, sportsbooks were fine - mask only needed while making a bet, etc. If you aren't from the west coast that flight is painful, and I'm not even coming from the east coast but rather the central time zone.

    I guess the best part of the trip is that I crushed the books, as I told JJ, my picks were on OldBill's thread:

    Chiefs -12.5
    Buccs -8.5
    Bills -4
    49ers +3

    ... in that order
    I even went big to start on the Bengals Raiders under, wow, finally won 1 where first half scoring was obnoxious and they laid eggs 2H. Small on the Buccs under too which was 1 point under at the end, lol

    Very profitable trip.

    Been to all 3. Not the greatest sportsbooks but if I had to pick one Atlantis is fun and the way to go. Atlantis Casino is pretty nice.
    Stay at The Cove. Adults only, great pool, lots of foreign broads and a party vibe.

    they took out all of the betting portals in atlantis and put some table games in the sportsbook.

    bahamar property is beautiful. sportsbook is small.

    Yes sir. Cove Pool is where it’s at. I didn’t know they put table games in the book. Either way- agree with your assessment.

    Honestly, Turtle Lake casino in Wisconsin might be best bet. They have book kiosks now.
