The NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament starts March 15, and Las Vegas is the place to be for basketball parties, events, and sports betting to make the event even better. Whether your favorite team is in the lead or out of the tournament, there’s no question that watching the games in Vegas will help lift your spirits. Read below to learn all you need to know to enjoy March Hoops to the fullest, from what to expect with crowds, where to stay, where to celebrate, and how to bet on basketball in Las Vegas.
March is the most popular month of the year to visit Las Vegas. Over the last few years there have been over 3.5 million visitors in the months of March alone! Lots of visitors means larger crowds and longer lines to get into places, higher prices, less availability for tickets to shows and events, and crowded casinos and sportsbooks everywhere you go. Patience is key when traveling to Vegas in March, but the large amounts of people are what makes Vegas so fun and what makes March Hoops the high-energy event that it is.
Round 1 and Round 2 are the most action-packed days and when people flock to Vegas to celebrate the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. You can anticipate prices for hotel rooms on the Strip to skyrocket these days. Anticipate booking a hotel room very early… in fact, if you don’t have a place to stay yet, consider staying in Downtown Las Vegas. Booking a room Downtown allows you and your squad to be in on the action, but avoid the worst of the crowds on the Strip.
