MJT1212 · 03-12-12, 10:44 PM

PickWinnerAllDay · 03-12-12, 10:45 PM

I hate large mobs of people. Hope it isn't too bad.

griz · 03-12-12, 10:48 PM

fukk... maybe this wasnt such a great idea after all??

HoulihansTX · 03-12-12, 10:48 PM

Where ever you go show up two hours B4 the first game. I live in Vegas, on the West side of town. I will be showing up extremely early for the games.

How long will it take to get a bet in?

Nick Papageorgio · 03-12-12, 10:52 PM

Show up at least 5 hours before the start of the days card with all your action locked in (if you are alone), as your seat will get gobbled up when you go to place a wager.Give it at least an hour minimium
before tip before you get in line to place a wager.

Bring a 12 pack. Drink service will be pratically non existent .

That is probably because they rarely win.

I went last year and stayed at Treasure Island. Their sports book sucked but they opened up a banquet room upstairs that had huge projection screens. It was more than good enough for me. Outside they set up tellers as well however there was only 3 for about 75 100 people so bet early. The majority of people would wait and bet 10 mins before tip. Hope this helps

H1Cypher · 03-13-12, 02:33 AM

Sorry if this is a dumb question. Are there any casinos in vegas that let you do live bets during basketball games? Like during commercials, or in between quarters how you can online.

flyingillini · 03-13-12, 02:43 AM

I am in Vegas now, flying back to SF in the morning. Jesus Christ has blessed you!

Illini, some chick called me today and wanted to do yayo with me. I actually was too busy so I said I would pass. Also, don't know girl too well, heard she got outta rehab recently. Did I make the right choice? I don't wanna get bad shit...

99.9% of the average person that is going to have a hookup you , especially some hyna out of rehab is going to have shit quality..I wouldn't even deal with a hyna like that in the first place...My yola is lab tested at 84%, the garbage the average people that crave and get from someone they know is in the shitty 10-30% if even that.. most of the yola on the street is garbage and wouldn't even put that shit up my nose..if I didn't have the hookup I have had for the last 20 years, I wouldn't even do it.... I have seen what is out there and it's garbage...unless you got the hookup, not from a junkie or even mid level dealer, you want to know the guy getting a 100 birds at a time them busting them down...

ChalkyDog · 03-13-12, 03:13 AM

Going to a book to watch march madness is a rookie move. Strip clubs, or ballroms with TV's and bookies there to take wagers is where you need to be.

LVHerbie · 03-13-12, 03:42 AM

Why go to Vegas to sit (probably stand) in a mob watching a basketball game on a tv when you could do that in the comfort of your recliner at home?

Make your bets in the book and if you want to gamble either hit up the poker room (as they are going to juicy with all the tourist in town) or go play blackjack and if can't find something else better to do in Vegas (which is actually pretty pathetic) do as Chalky suggested and go watch the games at Spearmint Rhino...

floridagolfer · 03-13-12, 04:15 AM

First games are at 9:15; you'd better be there by 7, and 6 is better. It'll be packed.

HoulihansTX · 03-13-12, 04:37 AM

You come out to Summerlin I will buy you a drink. Three casino locally.

unluckysob · 03-13-12, 06:29 AM

WHO SITS IN VEGAS----Im on my feet moving around all day.

DudleyDawson · 03-13-12, 06:35 AM

I was in Vegas for Final Four weekend 2 years ago-Mich St./Carolina and don't remember it being as busy and hectic as people are claiming...maybe the opening weekend is much busier. But Vegas anytime is a good time.

BIGDAY · 03-13-12, 07:07 AM

One year I was there for opening day of baseball and the NCAA college hoops championship game were the same day and it wasnt that bad. Got to the Belagio around 9:30am and never fukkin left til after the championship game. Tipped the waitress the best out of anyone and she kept coming to me first. I destroyed a buffet after that.

Nothing better than drinking all day watching sports throwing down on a random pony and then attack a buffet and call it a day. Wake up next day and repeat.

good luck with the big dance

Ralphie Halves · 03-13-12, 05:57 PM

Cosmo book is tiny. 50 people could easily fill that place beyond capacity.

Probably South Point for me, especially if they open up that ballroom. Haven't heard yet.

Emily_Haines · 03-13-12, 06:01 PM

Vegas is a zoo for opening round. Had to wait in line over an hour once just to make a few wagers.

I always preferred to go to Reno instead for opening round

south point will be hosting a championship party in the grand ballroom, march 15-17 starting at 8 a.m. Every day. There will be food and drink specials, including $4 patron tequila and skyy vodka shots, $3 16-oz bud and bud light, $3 breakfast burritos, $1 hot dogs, and more. There will also be a free throw shooting tournament, where contestants can meet and compete againist ed o' bannon and jerome williams.

I'd put opening weekend only behind New Years, and only barely. Frequent both often.

Add the fact that St. Pattys day falls on that Saturday, and this is Spring Break for the majority of all Universities, and it is going to a bangin' good time.

Coolcanuck79 · 03-13-12, 09:20 PM

Yes, Lagasse's at Venitian has Mobile in-play betting. You load a certain amount onto a hand held device and you can make in-play bets.

Coolcanuck79 · 03-13-12, 09:22 PM

I usually move between venues during March Madness but Rockhouse is a chill place to catch the games and there are always drink specials for those who aren't getting loads of drink tickets from betting the games. That's where I will be Thursday morning!

MJT1212 · 03-13-12, 09:22 PM

yea cosmos book is the size of a phone store in a mall, and thats what it looks like too

cankid · 03-13-12, 09:27 PM

cosmo way too small.......go to LVH(Hilton)......1000+ seat theater open during march madness, best place with live wagering
