I’m going to be in Vegas this weekend, primarily to bet on college and pro-football and watch the games.

Anyone know of a good place with a selection of TV’s, ability to order food and drink, and I don’t need to get there at 7:00 in the morning to get a table.

It can be off the strip.

I don’t want to be watching Pats-Colts on a 20 inch TV fifty feet away, though.

I’m not sure where we’re staying. . .it’s at a time-share that a guy has.

We can drive to the strip, off the strip, downtown, whatever.

I’ve been in a few books before, but I haven’t been to vegas in 10 years. I remember Caesar’s being nice, but crowded. MGM was pretty decent.

Thanks.

From a betting standpoint, I’ve been told the best is the Las Vegas Hilton. As for a good place to actually watch the game, I’m not sure. I’ll ask my contacts and get back to you if no one comes up with a good answer in the meantime.
