They charge you now, so guys that paid to watch games aren't going to wander off for poker.
The Wynn used to have a free showing of the games in the theater and hardly anyone would go in there to watch, while in the sportsbook it was paid to be there like this. A couple places have some viewing parties that are free now, this year i went to the south point once where they had a free viewing party, was able to snag a couple bar seats at caesars palace miraculously that was free, paid for the westgate one day which was like $80 a piece for tickets but for the whole entire day in the barry manilow theater and then went to Circa for their free viewing party. I wish the Wynn still had theirs but they stopped doing it as far as i know, i didnt check this year, that was by far the best and the most fun ive had in vegas watching sports. Im sure there were other free viewing parties out there too, but Circa was the best of the free ones i went to this year. Would recommend it to anyone. My friend also is staying with me during march madness, and he went to play poker at the nugget afterwards, and said there was 40k on the table in his 1-2 game, one player accounted for 20 of it, but still had multiple 5k stacks as well, said a fish ran up 500 to 4500. Despite Diesel having his ear to the streets and finding all good games, guess he missed that one.
