Default Superbowl in Vegas, for a poker player

I've never been in Vegas for Superbowl, so I could use a little advice. I am not a huge football fan, but of course interested enough to actually watch the game esp since I'd be in Vegas.

- If I decide to _just_ watch the game, how early do I need to get to a nicer sportsbook if I would rather have a chair and not sit on the floor? My understanding is that casinos no longer throw superbowl parties due to NFL threats of suing, and as such the avg sportsbook is even more packed.

- If I decide to both play poker and watch, what's this like? Are the ring games good during the superbowl game, or they populated only with those boring people who keep a running total of their EV (yes, I know, I am one)? Are poker seats really easy to get or near impossible, just before superbowl starts?

- Anything else I should know for my first Superbowl in Vegas trip?

To the old-timers on the forum -- sorry I have been so MIA lately. Work is kicking my butt. Hope to get back into the swing of things later this year.
