I'm going to be in Vegas the weekend of the KU game - any suggestions on the best Sports Book to watch all the games?

1. Ballys.. Theatre style and prob the best of the best..
2. MGM... Lots of TV's, but can get cramped cause its narrow.(this is where i stayed in March for the tourney, prob should have stayed at Ballys)
3. Mirage
4. Ceasars
5. Hilton.. Would be higher if it was on the strip, its kinda in the middle of nowhere..

Stay away from the Luxor at all costs (unless they changed it since i was there, which they probobly have not)

Do you know where you are staying, or are you driving in for the day?

Have a blast in Vegas, ain't nothing like it..

I really dug the The Pallazio's (new) sports book.
It's a little smaller, but has a cool layout, lots of TVs, etc.

Been awhile since I was there, but when I was there, Caesar's. Hands down.

Staying at Paris - so Bally's will be right next door. I'll get in on Thursday evening, and have some time to check them out. Had thought about heading down to Mandalay Bay, since I had seen theirs a few years ago and they had a nice setup - but that's all the way at the end of the strip.

Read a review that liked Wynn and Caesars as well. Any thoughts on Bellagio?

JayZ had a good one in the Palazzo, but I think it's been sold and is called Lagasse's Sports Book or something like that. Hilton is nice too, but it is off the strip although there is a monorail stop at it. Seems like there is a nice one in the Bellagio or Venetian that you see as you walk through them, but I can't remember which one it's at.

Have fun!

Wynn is also nice.
Hundreds of booths with private screens.
You really can't go wrong in Vegas, though. They are all big pimpin

Bally's is great, theater style set up. Caesar's and Bellagio are also tremendous, but a bit more upscale.

Ballys is a good choice. But the unquestioned best is at the Montecito.;)

Just checked that Latest Zagat Rankings...

The Montecito came in a close second to the Tangiers..;)

I've been to Mandalay Bay for March Madness, and it was great. Probably the biggest book on the Strip, but like you said, not the best location.

As others have said, you can't go wrong with Caeser's, plus it's right across the street from where you are staying. Bally's is good, but not as plush as Venetian, Bellagio, or Wynn (but maybe plush is not what you're looking for). MGM is okay, but it's right out in the open where a lot of people are walking by, so that could get a little annoying.

Bally's sportsbook was closed the last 2 times I was there (April, August) and they're sending everyone to Paris. Caesar's is the place to go.
