March Mayhem Tips
Don’t miss college hoops in March at Station Casinos!
Calling all College Basketball fans! If you thought the Big Game was a huge day in Las Vegas just wait till college basketball in March. Dozens of exciting games spread over several weeks. You’re not going to want to miss!
Now that the Big Game is over, College Basketball during March will be the biggest sports event of the year. Thousands of sports fans from across the world will be coming to Vegas to join in on the madness. From the viewing parties to the sports books, it’s sure to be a great way to immerse yourself in the excitement.
Here are 3 tips to get the most out of your experience during the March College Basketball Tournaments.
Early Bird gets the worm:
Every year more college basketball fans are claiming their sports book seats even earlier before. If you want to get the prime seats you have to beat the rush. We suggest a couple of hours before tip-off but the earlier the better.
Group Up:
Go with a group of at least 3 or 4 friends. One person can save seats while the others take a break, enjoy some food, or just get some fresh air.
Steady Pace:
Steady pace wins the race. The Big Game is just one day one game. College Basketball in March is multiple games over several days. Don’t burn yourself out the first day. You still need to wake up early the next day to get good seats.
Go Mobile
Or you can cut the cord and ignore the first three tips. With Station Casinos new Sports Connection app, you can get in on the action where ever you are in Nevada. Bet from your phone, laptop, or tablet and never miss a minute of the action. It literally takes minutes to setup an account and you can take the sports book with you anywhere.
Personally, I’d rather be poolside taking in the scenery and catching a few rays than sitting in a smoky, crowded sports book. But if that’s your scene, by all means go for it. Just keep in mind, if you have the Sports Connection App installed and have opened an account, you can place that last minute action even if the line is 10 minutes long. It’s definitely an advantage.
There you have it. Four tips to get the most out of your College Basketball in March. With the tournaments just weeks away and excitement building, it’s a great time to start planning ahead. It’s one of the busiest times for sports in Las Vegas and the fun continues all the way up to the final games.
