                I want to check out the tropicans new sportsbook while I am there. If that is too small I will hop to some of the other casinos. I hear MGM is pretty big as well. Hilton is the biggest I guess, but not on the strip.

                  Encore is best place to stay right now. Very nice and not a circus like other places. Plus close to some of the best clubs

                  March madness is not the best time to go though, too crowded, too many rookies.

                        I will be there for sure, hotel is booked at Hooters Hotel... Went two years ago. Tried to go to the book at MGM but all the chairs and spots were BOOKED and TAKEN 3 hours before the games even started. Am there from the 17th to the 22nd.

                                      I will be there with some friends for rounds 1 and 2. Would be willing to meet up with people for food, drinks, clubs, whatever.

                                      I'm staying at Hilton for a few days and the M.

                                      They have the best two sportsbooks in town in my opinion.


                                      I do not like MGM's sportsbook, it is not large at all in fact it is very skinny and hard to find a seat during march madness. Most other books mentioned in this thread are jank as hell, come on guys!

                                      Vegas sportsbooks during march madness suck in general, thousands of newbs that don't know how to wager, lines out the ass, impossible to get a drink and a seat and watch the game. Hilton isn't too bad and I have high hopes for the M considering they have electronic kiosks. But the average book (all MGM properties) turn into a fukkin zoo with most players betting 6 team parlays for $10 eating up tons of space.


                                      Anyway, hit me up if anyone wants to hang.

                                        How early do I have to show up to M?

                                        I was planning on going to either the Wynn or hopefully if its not packed lasgassee stadium..they got strong pitchers there...got tossed up there back in nov.

                                            This will be my 20th straight year being in Vegas for the first two rounds...no better time to be in Vegas. I will be staying at the M as well as the Orleans.

                                                    No Vegas.com doesn't book flights out of Rockford. That why it's high priced. I am lazy.

                                                        Have been the past couple of years. Always stay at the Golden Nugget. We are able to get free rooms, and they make March Madness a great event. Huge screens set up in their main ballroom. Great time.

                                                              Never been to The M, might have to give it a try while we are there for the 2 rounds. Hooters didn't get that busy at all. Was able to place the bets go sit at the 1st bar when you walk in the doors and have great service from the bartenders the whole dang day. Its not the greatest sportsbook by any means but was nice enough to win some money and enjoy the weekend.

                                                              I'd be game for having a few drinks with some SBR people and winning some cash!
