My son turned 21 yesterday. We're going to vegas for opening weekend of March Madness this year. I got a GREAT deal on a room friday thru Sunday at Caesars. Also got a reservation for all day Saturday in the sportsbook. My question is if there's a better book for game watching? Circa? The pool area or inside? Where else? I've been to Vegas twice for March Madness but we kinda just walked the strip and never had reservations anywhere

We'll gamble a bit but he really wants to bet on the games. Since our room is already at caesarsi just got a package there but can cancel and get another one somewhere else too.

Been doing the first round of MM since 2021 and Circa is hands down the best viewing.

Get yourself a reserved seat for the day and then you can come and go on your schedule and will always have a seat. Best $200 spent.

Circa is the one.

I like Stadium Swim pretty well.

Circa. Sportsbook is great, but you'll need to get there early or reserve a table if you want a seat. Stadium Swim is legit

Caesars is a great sportsbook, especially if you have reserved your seats.

I haven't been in a few years but i always enjoyed the theater at Westgate.

Circa would be great with a reserved seat.

I'd prefer to be staying at the same place you're watching games at. It's very nice to be able to run upstairs and take a break from the games.

At Ceasars are you getting the normal seats they have for the book, or do they setup a stage and a bunch of banquet type chairs? If so, those might get very uncomfortable after a few hours. I think I've seen the temporary seating before there.

Normal book. The hat leather recliners

That sounds like a pretty nice setup then! Circa is the only place that might be an upgrade over that imo

Hoops & Hops at Cosmo and it is a great time. Good energy though it is in a ballroom and takes a while to get the crowd energy going. Longish haul to get food but the drinks were open bar. Westgate is a fun scene too. Ellis Island was fun but it has been a long time since I have checked them out. It is probably pretty dependent on where you get seated now.

Circa sportsbook is unbeatable. Already booked seats at Circa for Thursday next year and it is almost sold out for Thurs/Fri. Will be staying at Aria and have no plans yet for Friday. Just two of us so we might just bounce up and down the strip.
