Las Vegas Sports Scene

Las Vegas is a wonderful weekend retreat for Southern California residents. With only about a three hour drive time to get there, it is an ideal spot to simply get away for a couple days. Recently, our close friends, the Martins, took a weekend to enjoy the Spring excitement in Vegas. Being ardent sports fans, upon their return here is their take on the sports scene in Las Vegas.

March Madness is in the air in Las Vegas! We made our way through the desert in hopes of some warm weather and some great basketball action. This trip we decided to stay in the new Palazzo Hotel (on right). It sits nestled on the strip between the Venetian and the Winn hotel. The Porte Cochere is like a grand Italian welcome that is rather subtle for a Vegas Strip Hotel. I might even say it was elegant. We have come to expect, “over the top” everything in this town, so these classic Italian influences were both pleasant and refreshing. Our suite was wonderfully large, modern and comfortable.

This month reels in the most ardent of sports fans. The intensity for the game of basketball is on every face. And sports book hot spots are the place to be. These media room wonders are complete with tiered seating and multiple large screens to take in all the action. The savvy sports fan will book seating at one of these venues in advance.
