NYT article on March Madness in Vegas

I know najdorf regularly goes and thinks it's pretty awesome.
This article doesn't put it in a terribly favorable light imo.

Bunch of guys camping out for seats in the front row to watch the game ON TELEVISION and also not showering for days, etc etc.

am I crazy or does this really not sound like such a great time?
normally I would also complain about probably not being able to hear the announcers part of the time which is why I don't like watching games in sports-bars typically either.
But with CBS, the announcers getting drowned-out by screaming fans would be an improvement.


Still, if I find myself in LV during March Madness for some reason I don't think I would be attracted to camping out at the sports-books for hours on end. Think I would find something else to do.

I'm guessing the poker games might be half-decent though from drunk guys winning $3k on Winthrop or something and taking it to the tables.
