I was in Las Vegas for last year's BC on a BC-event invite from the Hilton. I'm pretty sure they were devoting one of their big conference hall rooms to the BC, like they do for the Kentucky Derby. You wouldn't have to compete with football bettors. As it turned out, I wanted access to various odds that I could get better online than on the big screens, so I spent the entire BC in my hotel room. But I doubt anyone yelled louder for Ouija Board in the F&M Turf or Invasor in the Classic than me alone in my Vegas hotel room! (no money on Invasor, but I hated the idea of them retiring Bernardini and I wanted him beaten!)

I don't know if you need an invite to get into the Hilton's BC broadcast room. You do for the Derby. They had a pretty nice buffet spread out for this year's Derby.
