Where do I go in Vegas to watch the game the game tonight?

I haven't been to Vegas in 10 years so I thought I would ask my friends at BE for advice. I am looking for a good place to watch the Blazer game tonight with my wife. Any suggestions?

I dunno....

but I would go to the sport book and bet Over on LMA at 27 total points and rebounds. Good match-up for him tonight.

Casesers Palace

If you’re on the Strip

Golden Nugget if you’re on Fremont

And what a time to be in Vegas as the Blazers are underdogs!! Time to make some money.

Good Luck.

I had to go to New York New York and sit at the bar at the top of the escalator

to see the Blazers Cavs game last January. I was staying at the Mandalay Bay but don’t think they had the Blazer games on when I was there.

I always go to the closest sports book

and FYI if you want to get free drinks seat yourself at the front of the sports book or you will get ignored :) The waitresses only do a pass on the front couple of rows. My personal favorite spot is at Luxor, they always show Blazers games.

I've spent more time in Vegas sports books than any 26 year old has a right to

My favorite is the Mirage. Consistent and quick drink service (most important), a decent amount of seating and easy to see the screens. Second favorite is Monte Carlo but only if you’re betting. They give you drink tickets when you bet rather than have them free (tip, you get more drink tickets betting on the horses) but the upside is that there’s a bartender in the back you can take them too so you don’t have to wait for a cocktail waitress. The game should be on at any large sportsbook, nothing else on but basketball tonight.

Sportsbooks to avoid...

New York New York (terrible, worst of the big casinos,) MGM (no free drinks, stupid design) and Caesars unless you have a big bankroll because you’ll look out of place on Friday or Saturday nights without a hot blonde goldigger on your arm in a low cut black dress.

Las Vegas Hilton

It’s off the strip but they have the most big screen TV’s. Most sportsbooks only have a couple huge TV’s and a bunch of smaller ones. All you have to do is bet a minimum of $10 on any game and you can drink for free all night (unless they changed it in the last 2 years.)

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
