 | Sweet16/Elite8 in Vegas - JPLSU1981 on 3/19/13 at 11:32 am Anyone got any good recommendations for a sportsbook? I've been to many of the Vegas sportsbooks, but never during a busy time like March Madness when many of them have $$ per person minimums to spend on food/drink.
Lagasse's has a $200 per person minimum, which I don't think we'd hit in the 2-3 ...
