    I've watched at Mandalay before ... was at MGM in December. Can't go wrong with either book.

    I'd recommend MGM ... sports bar adjacent to the book ... best of both worlds.

    I've stayed around a few places, but going to head down for the first or second weekend. More than likely the first. I didn't know if anyone set up any special rooms b/c the books have to be packed. Always loved the MGM. True classic.

    Lagasses sportsbook at the Venetian/Polazzo is the best.

    IMO, they are all kind of tough places to actually watch a game unless you have a table reserved. But, Ceasar's does to a special setup for the madness and their sportsbook area is massive. MGM was good, just more cramped. Cosmopolitan has a really cool small one that seems (at least last year) to be underutilized. Not sure if that holds for NCAAs though.

    I prefer the King Oscar Hotel on Hosmer Street in Tacoma. Access to hookers is walking distance and they have hourly rates in case you get bored and wasnt to LEAVE.

    The Calico Cat on Pacific Avenue is also solid

    Boom! How's the selection of crystal?

    It is tough to get a seat at many. A couple buddies and I found a good spot at Treasure Island, actually. Have a huge banquet room set up with humongous projection screens playing all the games, bookies on site, alcohol and food. There was a lot of room but it was still pretty crowded. Good atmosphere. If they're still doing it, I'd check it out.

    I'd like to have the crowd so that you get both side of the bets. It's so much fun even if you don't have a side to watch the crowd flow with each basket. I may have to just call around and see who may still have setups like this, because the sports books are going to be packed.

    Agree on Cosmo. Small place, but never full and very nice.

    No one been the the Mirage? Watched a couple tournaments there. Not as packed as the MGM with a great atmosphere. Actually met Dave Wyman there one year during the tourney and he was puttin a few back. If you are there for the first (2nd) rd of the tourney you should be able to put on a 3 day bender hitting up a different sportsbook each day of the tourney.
