Yes.

Planet Hollywood has been good as they put up 800 or so chairs w/ 8 big screens (4 on each end of ballroom). Been there for the last 4 years. They have betting stations set up.

Don't plan on sitting in a sports book unless you're VIP or get there @ 6am to get a table.

We've been staying at the Orleans for the last 5 years after getting squeezed out of TI and Imperial Palace because of overcrowding. We used to get seats in the TI sportsbook in the mid 90's! Those days are gone.

I used to go for opening weekend, but I stopped a few years ago. I love the action, but do better sitting in front of the PC with instant access to info (trends, injuries, line moves etc.). Wife let me trick out my office last year with 4 TVs and theater chairs, so I'll get to see plenty of games....

During football and basketball season, I spend lots of time @ home. This is a pic from when I was getting everything setup, but you get the idea of the setup.
