Westgate Superbook is where I go

Best way to do it

Just make sure you show up 2 hours early to secure a spot to sit otherwise you are standing

Many books for March Madness will probably make you pay some kind of juice or tip in order to sit but not Westgate

Every major casino sports book will be hopping during March Madness.

Personally, I would go with Westgate or Mirage. Both recently renovated and focused on being a sports book and not a semi-club.

Nailed it

Tired of this trend turning sportsbooks into "clubs" or restaurants

Westgate Superbook one of the last good remaining ones that are just that, sportsbooks

Mirage is good too but smaller than Westgate. Also you have to pay to park at MGM Mirage properties, not at Westgate

Best odds
- William Hill locations (Casino Royal on the strip has one)
- Westgate

Best viewing experience can vary depending on preference, but you can never go wrong with
- Ceasars
- Mirage
- Aria
- Planet Hollywood
- Cosmopolitan (recently renovated. Went from one of the smallest on the strip to one of the best)

Went there with a buddy during football season. Solid place to place your bets and watch college football all day.

I really wish they would legalize sports betting nationwide. Would be nice to sportsbooks locally.

Planet Hollywood seems to get overlooked by many (which may be a good thing). It's a nice setup with comfortable chairs and good screens, the Pizza/Wings place inside of it, and the scenery/waitresses.

Ugh. Lost $4k in 2013 at the Aria sportsbook because OBJ couldn't field a damn punt.

Other than that cool place to watch a game.

It seems like West gate is leading the pack at the moment. I will definitely have West gate as our first destination.

I would advise to try and reserve a table because if not you will be standing the whole time. If anyone in your group is a high roller you could possibly get a table comped or at a reduced rate. But I'm sure that person would know that

We actually do have somewhat of a high roller in our group

How early do you suppose we need to arrive prior to the first tip in order to reserve a table?

your high roller needs to call now and try to reserve a table. Def don't wait till the day of because everything will be booked if it's not already. Vegas sports books will be slammed next weekend so I would advise him not to wait any longer

I seem to recall that they will take conference rooms and set up TVs with temporary betting registers since the sports books are so jammed.

Just based on proximity of each other I'd stick with Mirage or Ceasers. I like ceasers because you have anything you could ever want within walking distance.

I've been to the first MM weekend 4 times recently. We always liked Caeser's. Even when the lines get long, it moves pretty quick. All in all, it's easy to place a bet, and lots of TV's.
A friend last week said they have updated their tv's since last year and said he was impressed.

Years ago they had more a viewing area before they added a bar near the sports book. I still enjoy Caesar's the best though.

Mandalay Bay has a good set up as well.

I work at Westgate and yeah we're setting up the theater also with betting stations so we have capacity for about 1500 seats so you don't HAVE to get there early to avoid standing.

What I would recommend more than a certain place to go is signing up for the mobile app at at least one of the sportsbooks. Takes about 5 minutes to sign up and you avoid all the lines at the window and it's a lot easier to hit halftime or live lines. Then just withdraw everything before you leave.
