"March Madness is like a long bachelor party, and groups of four or five guys are together morning, noon and night," said David Pemberton, director of specialty games for Caesars Palace. During this first weekend of March Madness - the second and third rounds of the NCAA men's basketball tournament - games start early and run well into the night. [...] we asked a couple of Las Vegas veterans - Jay Rood, who manages the sports book at MGM, and Pemberton - how to survive 96 hours of college basketball during one of Vegas' most exciting weekends of the year. Forgive yourself if you don't: "People try to pace themselves ... but it is impossible because it is like a kid being locked in a candy store for a weekend," Pemberton says. The energy in the room is so electric and people get caught up in the frenzy.
