Tournament time, you HAVE to go to Vegas

For the many of you Coversinians who have been to LV for this time of year…nothing like it. If you haven’t been. Go. If not this year, next year. Go!

Waking up at 8:30am and knowing in 30 minutes the day will be non stop action. I go back to the 80s. No way to check on results, if you weren’t at the Sportsbook. I was doing business in town and just finished up my day. Had action on a game and called a local number that gave you results. Guy answers the phone…live conversation, mind you…

”Checking on the Georgia/ St. John’s game”…

”Who’d you have”?    
“Georgia”
“You won”

Soooo cool.

Go to Vegas and after the games, head for the Golden Steer for dinner.

Good luck all. St. John’s is gonna be a tough out.

Thats the OG style rt there! Would love to go back, have dont it many times but the 80's must have been something!

I went 3 times late eighties nothing better !

my eyeballs were falling out after Friday! 
haha great times

 Tried to do the math on how much cash the taxi guy made at the Hilton….

 Last time I went was 2022 and met Derek Stevens at Circa.

He was hosting a roped off Michigan party vs USC.

I was on USC with the Mobley boys.

Never told Derek because I didn't want to get booted.

Went in 2015 and my bartender at Emerils Sportsbar says take Duke not Wisky.

She was right and after I won $1000, I tipped her $150.

 I've also been to the 1990,93, 2003,  2006, 2014, 2016 Final 4 to either watch friends play, see my team or enjoy my bday and I've seen the best final in tourney history with Jenkins shot beating his cousin Nate Britt.

That was a $500 shot for me.

Or in 2014, when Harrison hit the 3 to beat Wisky and I won my March madness pool to win $3800.

And Frank Kaminsky's father gave me a stern look.

Hey 'your son will be a millionaire soon'

Nothing like the Stardust back in the day. Alot of the older gamblers hung out there. They were on point with their picks too.
