Superbowl over, now it's March Madness time. What's your plans?

Super Bowl parties aside, I've always believed to March Madness week is the greatest sports week of the year in Vegas. I'm curious as to A - what super bowl party you did attend and was it as good as you expected? Also B - What are you March Madness plans? With all the competitive teams in the NCAA this years tourney shoud be 1 for the record books! I see parties are s heckled for some of the regular places I.e. CET and MGM properties, Gold Coast and the D. A new 1 at the Plaza seems to surfacing also.
Rounds 1 & 2 are the best to be in town for. Nothing like listening to the crowds roar when a 12-seed beats up a 5.



A) Half-watched the Stupor Bowl at home. B) Vegasssssss! 3/16-3/19....Plaza. 3/20-3/22....Ellis Island. (That's right. It's a guys trip and we're rarely in the room, so.....Plaza and EI it is.) We may get a table at the Plaza for one day, but we don't usually reserve tables and agree to spend hundreds on food and drink. There are too many video poker bars for that. New for this year is 1) one evening at Jokers Wild for $1 craps and fifty cent roulette, 2) visit to Double Down Saloon. Can't wait!
I will be in Vegas this year for some march madness, 3/30 - 04/05. it will be my first time being in vegas for march madness. I will be spending most of my time downtown. I will make a few low-roller sports bets. my brother usually sends money with me to make some much bigger sports bets. I would love to hear some feedback on what to expect, where to hang out. the book at the Fremont gives free drink coupons for your wagers, I am not sure what the exact numbers are. does anyone know who comps sports bettors the best downtown? any info is appreciated... TIA!

This will be my third year at the Orleans for the first weekend of March Madness. Normally I would have questioned this choice but after seeing the set-up two years ago...it's really pretty awesome. Their full ballroom is set up with round tables and TV's all around the room. There is a dedicated betting station in the room and bar and snack bar as well. They will give you drink tickets when you bet. Different color for each day of the tourney. The ball room is open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Each table seats at least 10 and there is no cover charge at all.
