Best Sports Book???

Am going with some friends to Vegas for March Madness. Any suggestions as to which hotel has the best sports book and why?

Thx!
David

ESPNZone at NYNY is amazing. They have leather recliners in front of a bank of TVs with waitress service. The book is just outside the restaurant.

I like the book at the LV Hilton. It looks like something out of War Games. A very nutty place if UCLA is playing.

The Mirage's book is also very good.

I like the sportsbook for the Las Vegas
Hilton for different reasons.
One being that if you are in a hurry to get in a make a bet/or leave to go somewhere else access is the best of all casino books in Vegas since you can actually drive right up and park right at the entrance and not have to fight your way through the hordes to/from the parking garage.
Nicest overall book Mandalay Bay also nice Ballys because it has partial stadium seating.
Avoid Venetian - too small, Ceasers - too dark.

I'll second the Manadalay Bay as the best overall sports book. Lots of jumbotrons and good seating (especially in the lounge above).

are there tricks to getting seats (especially for a week like NCAA basketball)?

the only advice I can give you is to get there much earlier than you'd think you'd need to. Once someone gets a seat they rarely leave it, so you have to be early...since there is always something on the screens it shouldn't be too bad...
