Vegas Ideas/Sportsbook Advice

[Jake]

What's the sports book you'd recommend if I'm there first weekend of March Madness.

I'm partial to Caesar's Palace. Plenty of space, lots of screens, Pussycat Dolls, and the Shadow Bar.

I stay at Mandalay Bay whenever I go out there. Its Sports Book is not much, but I enjoy the Hotel immensely.

I actually love the Venetian sports book. Everytime I go there the waitresses are smoking hot and wear these nice push up outfits.

Besides that I love the Bellagio book & Caesars.

But whatever you do, if you want a decent seat get there as early as possible. Everywhere is crazy during march madness.

Speaking of March Madness I'm heading to Hopkins in the morning! Taking the red eye back Friday night so there won't be much sleepin' between now and then.

Go Bucks! :osu:

Heading back to Vegas in December...longer trip with the lady this time so I need some brainstorming on restaurants.

What are the 'reasonable' restaurants we need to visit? We'll do a few of the 5* places but mostly looking for the middle of the pack places every casino offers...she loves seafood, steakhouses, and especially atmosphere.

We always stay at TheHotel at Mandalay and have done most of those restaurants and Top of the World.

Steakhouse recs in Vegas:

Las Vegas Steak? - Southwest - Chowhound

All of the threads tagged "las vegas" over at chowhound.com:

It might be a good idea to check out the Southwest board over at Chowhound, which includes Vegas, and just run some searches from there.

Can't really comment too much on personal experience. I haven't been to Vegas since I became a huge foodie.
