The Westgate is having a March Madness contest called Hoops Central Showdown and a Baseball Season Wins Challenge that also open for registration on Friday, March 1, and available for Vegas visitors at this time of year. Hoops Central Showdown costs $200 per entry (maximum three per person) and players make picks against the contest spread for 28 first-round games being played on Thursday and Friday, March 21-22. Important note (beware of several people were shut out last year by not paying attention to this part of the rules): registration closes and all selections must be made on the contest kiosks by 10 p.m. PT on Wednesday, March 20.
You’ll note only 28 games are used as the First Four games from Tuesday and Wednesday and the games involving those winners on Thursday and Friday are not used in the contest. The Westgate takes a $10 administrative fee from each entry (5%) and the champion will win 50% of the remaining prize pool with 30% for second and 20% for third.
