I'm gonna be in Vegas during the next two Husky basketball games (at UCLA on Thurs at 11pm EST, then at USC on Sat at 7pm EST).

Assume I've never been to Vegas or heard of any of the casinos/sportsbooks there.

Where should I go to watch the games?

I assume that since these are West Coast games with later start times, I shouldn't have any trouble finding a place with the games on TV...and for what it's worth, I think they're both scheduled to broadcast locally in Seattle on Fox Sports Network (FSN).

Gracias.

The Sportsbook at Caesers is massive the Beer was nice and cold too. Should find a place to find your bet line then find your game on a TV and grab a spot to sit.

Personally I like the fairly large mostly chill attitude at the MGM Grand though if you get a bad seat you end up craning your neck a little plus they only have one bar in there and they are slow as balls. I like it overall though. Probably my favorite. Nice wall of Hi Def TV's.

i always enjoy Mandalay Bay. But i also love the Bally's set up for the tourney so my opinion might be a bit distorted

There really is no bad place. Went to ESPN Zone last year for the opening of college football, and had a great time.

I'd agree with what's been said to this point. I've watched some NCAA tournament games at both the MGM and the Mirage over the years and enjoyed both places quite a bit.

I'd have to agree that Caesar's and MGM's were probably the best.. with MGM getting a slight nod from me since the sports book was right next to the poker room. For me it couldn't get much better.... minus coke and strippers of course
