The super bowl hype is alalert in full swing. Two more weeks we have to listen to all the hype, pre-game analysis and endless stories about nothing. But of you a fan of the Pats or Giants you like all the attention to your team . The game may be being played in Arizona. But much of the action will take place in Las Vegas. The sports book makers have the Pats a 12 point favorite as of today. But that is subject to change a little over the next two weeks.

If your planning on going to Las Vegas for the super bowl weekend, I hope you made your reservations months ago. The weekend rates at the hotels are much higher than usual for this very large public event. People will flood the Las Vegas strip hotels for the football game and to place their bets. If your betting, get to the sports books as soon as you can. If you wait till just before the game you may not be able to make your bet. When I was there a couple years ago for the super bowl, the sports books had very long lines three or four hours before the game started. The lines at Paris and Bally's were too long to wait in. So i made my way over the Barbary Coast to make my bet. And it was crowded also. Of course this is now Bill's Gamblin Hall. But still beautiful much the same place.

All the major casinos are good places to watch the game. In the sports books on the large screens or in many of the bars and lounges. The hotels are not allowed to advertise that they may have special events or areas to watch the game. The NFL prohibits this. So look acircular in the hotels and casinos for special events that may be going on for the game.

Place your bets, watch and enjoy the game. Have fun and lets have some big winners!!
