Yesterday, one of the younger editors remarked that his friends were going to be in Las Vegas for the NFL Draft. My first impression was, the draft is in New York, and you cannot bet on the draft in Las Vegas as is.

But my second thought was, how brilliant. The  NBA and NHL playoffs are in full swing, as is early-season baseball, but I would doubt the sports book will be too crowded. (It also helps that the horse-racing slate is far from compelling, too, what with the Kentucky Derby still a week away.) I can see it now: the NFL Draft on one of the big screens at Caesars, or the Mirage, or the Venetian. If the 10 minutes between picks is too much for you to bear, play a little blackjack and come back. The hometown team will be on the clock soon enough.

Yes, brilliant.
