Default Best Vegas room for watching live MLB?

I would be interested in some guidance as to which amongst the Vegas poker rooms is the best place to be able to watch multiple MLB games at the same time on the large plasma screens.

I know, I know, I should be concentrating on the poker action(!), but for me, a trip to the USA in the summer is about watching as much baseball as I can, as well as clocking up the hours at the poker table.

Stardust, Mandalay Bay, Hilton have the biggest sports books.

Thanks Photoc.

However, I was hoping to find a poker room where I could sit at the table and watch a selection of MLB games on the big screens, between hands.

I know that I watched college football in the MGM poker room when I was last in Vegas. I wondered if there was a room with more viewable screens?

Caesars Palace has lots of TV screens throughout the room. It would be a good choice.

However, no poker room ever has the sound on for the game.

Mandalay Bay and Hilton sports books are right next to the poker rooms at each. Most every poker room in Vegas has TV's throughout that will be playing games and you can request games. As Dynasty said, you won't have sound on in the poker rooms because it will interefere with the games and PA systems.

If I have this right, Harrah's built its poker room by cutting the sportsbook in half. Whatever the story, Harrah's has many TVs for sports and the few times I've asked the staff to put certain games on this TV or that TV, it's always done in a couple minutes. It's a good option for watching games.
