The last time I was there for the first and second round was four years ago, so take this with a grain of salt. But here&#x27;s what I found then. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Bally&#x27;s used to be an awesome spot. Younger crowd, casual but not scuzzy and good atmosphere. When I was there they designated a nice theatre that held about 1500 people at the adjacent Paris that had three giant screens and was an awesome spot. I think it was $10 to get in and you had to get your tickets in advance. Not sure if they still do that. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;I also enjoyed Bellagio and Mandalay Bay atmospheres. MGM is another good atmosphere. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;The Superbook at the Hilton is awesome too. Great service, tons of lines and it&#x27;s a huge book with a true old school Vegas feel that I would definitely check out before you leave. Lots of options for lines too. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;If you&#x27;re looking for a bit off the Strip, The Coast is a book that attracts a lot of local action and has an old school feel to it. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;As far as ritz goes, the Wynn has a pretty classy book but it wasn&#x27;t built yet when I was there for March Madness. I just saw it this past year. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Hope this helps. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;To give you a heads up, if you aren&#x27;t there at least a day ahead of time to reserve your seat, chances are you&#x27;ll have a tough time sitting down during games. Every book is packed and folks get there early and don&#x27;t move all weekend. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Enjoy. You will absolutely love it. Best place to watch the first two rounds of Madness and you will not believe some of the things you see if you&#x27;ve never been there before.

Last year, the Hilton used their ballroom and it was a perfect setup.

The Rio is pretty nice. Excellent service for drinks, no cover, girls dance about every 15 minutes.

New York-New York is smaller. You have to tip one of the sports book tellers. They'll save a couple of booths for you.

MGM is always nice. Lots of room.

the answer is any place you can find a seat, last year we stayed at the Bellagio and the sportsbook was a complete circus.
