Coast Casinos are...That being said, I bet through Ballys and I get a free hotel room and about $100 worth of free food, so I am happy with that. I just don't like their blackjack there, only like TWO $25 tables

i know we're about 2 months out, but what kind of seating do these places have? In all likelyhood im gonna be staying at Bally's, but i want to make sure i can get some reserved seats, is that at all possible? or do you have to run through a couple K's for them get stuff like that for you?

any help would be much appreciated, as this is my first time to the desert

BT - Mandalay Bay has a big sports book...but I can tell you that it's standing room only during March Madness. I'm not sure about reserving seats...but if you really want to sit, I'd just get there early.

I like to go there when it's empty and just marvel at the ridiculous amount of screens, sports, betting lines, etc. that are available....it just doesn't get any better...good luck!

For a funny contrast, you should check out the Racebook at Ellis Island. I think my clothes closet is bigger.
