Read More »Four years ago, it finally happened – after 33 years and 132 straight wins, a 1-seed lost to a 16-seed! And it wasn’t even close – UMBC beat Virginia 74-54. You’d expect the 1-seeds to be dominant, right? Sure they get beat plenty in the later rounds of the tournament. Some of my most memorable games are ones where 1-seeds were upset in the second round (Bama over Stanford in 2004 and Northern Iowa over Kansas in 2010). But…yeah. The 1-seeds have been dominant. They’ve won 64% of the past 36 tournaments and 7 of the last 10!

No, absolutely not. The same goes for any casino in Las Vegas and even for slot machines at the airport. While casinos elsewhere generally take the attitude that if you can pass for 21 and they aren't required by law to have a doorman, it's just more money in their pocket, Vegas decidedly does not and Circus Circus takes security just as seriously as the high roller casinos like the Bellagio. They are very vigilant about watching the floor (no, that's not just in movies) and just because you don't see security doesn't mean that they aren't right around a corner. A friend of mine who was 20 (and looks older) visited Vegas a few years ago. He figured that he'd play a couple slots, but he didn't make it within five feet of a slot machine before he was stopped by a uniformed guard and asked if he was 21. Kids (to include 18-20 year old legal adults) are expected to keep a wide berth from the gambling pits and slot machines, though they can walk through the casino and will have to in order to move around Circus Circus.
