Back in 2009 I posted a summary of trips during March Madness going back to 2001 (the first March after moving to Colorado). Late in 2009, I moved back to Illinois. In 2010 , I made it to Las Vegas for the second weekend of the tournament. It was a lot more low-key -- the casinos weren't as crowded (although it was still tough to get a seat during the games) and we were able to gamble during the day and watch games at night, so it wasn't so tiring. In 2011, I watched the games in Illinois with friends. In 2012, I watched the first and second round games in Illinois, but then went down to St Louis to watch the regional semifinals and finals in person. That was pretty cool. Next year there are regional games in Indianapolis, so I might do that same thing again next year. Although I'd love to make it to Vegas again....
