48 Hours of March Madness, Las Vegas Style

Posted on by cebu220815@gmail.com

“It’s showtime, baby,” says the Charles Barkley-esque high-pitched, infectious giggling man. “It’s showtime.”

As a college junkie and avid sports gambler, I’ve always wanted to experience the first two days of the March Madness in Las Vegas. And here I was, sitting at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino Superbook, the world’s largest sports book. Placed in the middle of a new bar, I stare at a 220-foot-long, 18-foot video wall. All seats in the superbook are full. Hundreds of other fans stand in the aisles, and the line at the betting window is the depth of at least 200 people.

As the ball rises in the air at the beginning of the Duke-N.C. Wilmington game, the place explodes just like you would see at the beginning of a Super Bowl or the first bell of a heavyweight boxing match. The Duke game is the first of 32 events to be held over the next two days, and I probably have the best seats in Las Vegas.

Yes, that’s right, Johnny. It’s Showtime. Let’s start the game.

Day 1
Of course, securing a prime seat at Westgate on the busiest day of the sports betting calendar didn’t happen by accident. It took some effort. After spending three days at the National Indian Game Association conference in Phoenix, we arrive in Vegas late Wednesday night.

Before I spend the night, I stop by three places to open a mobile sports betting account. One is a visit to the William Hill Kiosk, the other to the Boyd Gaming property Gold Coast Hotel & Casino, and finally to the CG technology outlet Palms Casino Resort. It’s been a few days and it’s painful to set the alarm at 5:30 the next morning, but I was warned earlier this week by Jay Cornegei, Westgate’s vice president of horse racing and sports operations, that all unbooked seats would disappear by 7 a.m. on Thursday.

As the sun rises the next day, I arrive at Westgate at 6:15 a.m., busy but not packed. I go straight to the bar and find Jonny stocking up on a beer cooler and cleaning his glass.

“Sit down, my friend,” he said with a smile. “You’ve come at the right time. It’s going to be crowded here by seven o’clock.” 카지노사이트 순위

He’s definitely a horse from experience. Within 45 minutes, the superbook is full of rabid sports gamblers dressed in Saint Patrick’s Day green. After getting off a cup of coffee and a cup of morning burrito, it’s time to join the festivities and order Guinness with the others. Valerie, Johnny’s fellow bartender, was told that these bartenders were on sale for $2 all day.
