Las Vegas is the place to be during Madness!

I guess I'm the exception to the rule, but having been to Vegas 3 times, it would not bother me to never go back. Once for work, once on the way to LA, and once with someone who had never been. Just not my cup of tea.

It's not our fault you hate fun! :)

Hey, different strokes for different folks, for sure. But the party that would follow Xavier winning its first regional in Vegas would be absolutely epic, and would last until dawn.

Been to Vegas twice for the Tournament.
Chico from this Board & I and other Xavier fans had a “box” at New York New York to witness Lehigh knock off Dook followed immediately by Xavier, with Tu Holloway’s awesome shot over Jack Conaughton, knocking off Notre Dame. We were the loudest guys in there and wading through the ocean of Dook Fan tears after it was over was hilariously amazing.
I’ll go back in a NY minute.

Vegas is awesome for the first 4 days of the tourney. Basketball fans as far as the eye can see.

Let’s hope our veteran coach gets out in front of this issue with the refs before the game by walking up to them, shaking their hands and saying “Nice to see you. This should be a fun game… Well, as long as their players aren’t using those forearms of theirs to push off and give them space for their shots… but then I’m sure you’ll be able to see if they try to do that tonight.
