A quick run down:
Mandalay Bay/Bellagio/Venetian/Wynn:
Nice books with lots of space and stadium style food options in the books.

Avoid New York/New York and MGM. Both small books with not much space. Also avoid Luxor. They cater to soccer fans. Enough said.

Westgate: go once if you haven’t. Timeless classic book. Huge.

Circa: new and all the rave. Worth a trip and you can reserve a seat for a small fee which is awesome and worth it during Super Bowl and March Madness. For $6,500 you can reserve your own 6 person booth with catered food and bottle service. Should do this at least once. A lot of fun. You can also visit VISN studios which is a great resource and you may see Brent Musburger.

South Point: as mentioned above, great book. They have an affordable hot dog cart at the book and if you love Steak and Shake, this is your place. Lastly, you can try and say hello to Jimmy Vacarro who runs the book and is the godfather of odds making. He happens to be the brother of Sonny Vacarro who is portrayed in the Matt Damon Nike/Michael Jordan movie.

Orleans: Basically same as the South Point but older. Free parking. Cheap food. Affordable food court and hot dog cart. Lots of seats.

Any of the Station Casinos around the valley are adequate and Red Rock if you’re clear out on the west side.

Good luck! March Madness opening weekend in Vegas is a bucket list item. Although it’s been a minute since the Cougars advanced out out of the first round, Being decked out in BYU gear and cheering my head off in the sportsbook really throws people off! Nothing more satisfying than cashing a ticket on the Cougars!!
