Which Vegas Casinos for MMA action?

[DocPolish]

I will be going to Vegas soon and I am trying to put together a list of the best casinos for MMA action. I've found that Stations has no action for obvious reasons but can't find much other info aside from little snippets here and there. I'd like to do Parlay bets and have the ability to do some prop bets as well, what do you suggest for this?

So far this is what I've found (But it could be outdated, some posts I got info from were old)


MGM - One person said they could parlay, another two said no... Maybe it depends on the fights?
Wynn - no props, not sure on parlay
LVH - no props, not sure on parlay
Palazzo - Props, not sure on parlay
Mandalay - ?

Any others?

[Crassus]

you can parlay at wynn and mandalay for sure.

Mandalay had boxing props but only for boxing and I'm not sure if that was a regular thing because the match was AT mandalay bay (Amir Khan-Danny Garcia.) I've heard LVH is the largest and best sportsbook around, can't confirm for sure though.

I will be out in Vegas August 9th and 10th. What Casino book is the best? I don't give a shit about props, just looking to lay large, straight bets. Any suggestions???

You can definitely parlay at mgm, the instance someone was denied was probably when they had too much action on JDS and they didnt want more at the moment... Ive parlayed there on multiple occasions, mgm also offers some props (jds in round 2 was +300, I also parlayed jds -450 with jds/mir won't go 5 rounds like -500 i forget exact lines)

Across from MGM is the tropicana, run by cantor gaming, sharper lines but they take large wagers and offer props.

The LVH is like 20 minute walk from mgm area off strip but has good lines and takes large wagers. (offer bellator too)

The lagasse at the palazzo is one the best for mma.

I'm fairly certain that all these sportsbooks will allow you to parlay..

They allowed you to parlay a straight and a prop of the same fighter? Doesn't sound right...

Dirty, I'd say the Wynn is a good one. But if you have the time isn't it better to just divide the bets evenly between four or five casinos (with sportsbooks run by different companies) so as to make sure it doesn't move the line in anyway. Plus your average might be better.

Last time I was there, Golden Nugget alowed me to parlay mma.

Nailed a nice four liner with couple dogs. Paid for my stay and both flights for the mrs and I.

Ya man good point. I will prob look to split my bets between at least two books in Vegas. I arrive on Friday August 9th around 12pm. So I'll have all day Friday to figure out which books have the best lines and all that. Thanks for the info dude.

The Wynn's lines were garbage for Silva and Griffin @ UFC 148 (for betting on them as favorites). I suggest LVH.

You're prob right about MGM limiting action on JDS. This was about an hour before the prelims and the line to bet was at least a hundred people...everyone hammering JDS. I think it got to -600. I just remember looking at it and not liking it at all, even the TKO/KO prop was juiced to hell.

Binions. They still use a whiteboard and are slow to move lines.

I asked them if I could, they said yes. Then I went to place the bet 15 minutes later and they tried to say no, but I emphatically stated that the manager had just okay'd it and they eventually allowed it. I still have the losing ticket because I threw Brandao (v elkins) in one of the parlays. If I was more computer savvy I would post a picture of the ticket. But ya I got away with a correlated parlay at mgm. Sportsbooks in LV are far less competent than offshore because their handle is so much lower its not as important I suppose.

Yeah, but I was betting an underdog (Derek Chisora) and the lines at the Wynn were best for that. It's all dependent on his bets.

Solid. I wouldn't bank on that happening again though, ya know?

Also Dirty, I'd be ready to hustle on Sat. They didn't release the strikeforce odds that weekend till then for most of the books I went to.

Awesome info guys, much appreciated.

When doing a parlay bet (In Vegas) is something like this possible or is it not allowed.

* Henderson to defeat Edgar
* Henderson by Decision
* Not Edgar by Decision
* Not Edgar by Stoppage
* Not Henderson by Stoppage
* Fight will go to Decision

Basically I am just picking Henderson by decision in the above scenario but all the other props add value without really changing my odds at losing since no matter what Henderson has to win a decision for me to win. I am guessing they do not allow you to parlay the same fight with this many props but I thought I'd ask anyway.

[El Nino]

I've never seen "Not" bets at any books in Vegas.

no you are not allowed to make correlated parlays. this is true of any non-retarded book.

[Vaughany]

ha only the paddypower of 3 years ago would of maybe allowed this!

[El Nino]

Bodog used to let you. Missed a $40 pays $1,200 parlay by one leg. Had JDS to win over Cain parlayed with JDS by KO/TKO parlayed with Bendo over Clay, parlayed with Bendo by decision over Clay, parlayed with Ben Saunders in a Bellator fight. Saunders lost. I never understood how they let you get better odds when it was fairly certain some fights were only goong to end via one way if your guy won. Lol @ rec books

[DocPolish]

Well damn, that sucks. I have never gambled at a casino so I didn't know. I just did the payout feature on bestfightodds and it let me do it so I wasn't sure, seemed to good to be true anyway.

Really... Man, I was planning on handling all of the business on Friday when I arrive in Vegas, so I could chill on Saturday and find the right place to watch the fight card. Thanks for the info.

[DirtyX]

Hey guys, anyone have a suggestion on where to watch the fights in Vegas? Is it easy to find a decent place to watch them? I am assuming all of the Sportbooks will have the fights on..? I heard they black out the fights on T.V. in Vegas when the fights are taking place there, but obviously these fights are in Denver... Thanks.

Ppvs are hard to catch because the books don't want to pay the UFCs crazy fees to show the event. The TV events are usually shown.

Check the sports bars listing on the UFC website. I live in the same county and Vegas is usually saturated. I don't know what Calc is talking about.

[NunyaBidness]

That's not quite true. You can make mildly correlated parlays at most books.

They show them in bars and viewing parties, but not for free in the general sportsbook area.

Bdubs South of the strip. For UFC 148 most viewing parties were charging between $25-$40 a head. If you wanted a table, $600 Had to be spent in food and beverage. The Las Vegas Sun prints some of the local sports bars and casinos that will be showing the PPV's.

Wow, you guys have been had hard and fast. In Laughlin they play them on the casino floor and free viewing areas all the time. I watched 148 in the performance theater at the Tropicana with four gigantic 92 inch jobs in a panorama above the tables. Gratis.

They sold liquor/stadium food. I drank water/laughed knowingly.

Yeah, but then you leave and you're in Laughlin, so it all evens out.

[El Nino]

Las Vegas > Laughlin

Didn't notice the illegals when I stayed at Aria and Bellagio. Was surprised that Venetian and Palazzo allow them so close to their property. Just say "chupa mi verga" next time and smack the card out of their hand. Never understood why ICE doesn't shut down that operation once a month...easy stats and I'm sure the ones running it are scum bags.

Every time vegas tried to shut them down the ACLU stands up for em. I'm an ACLU member, but I don't understand that fight.

Yeah not sure I could make that argument with a straight face. Much bigger injustices out there for the ACLU to be worried about IMO.
