Best Casino in Vegas to bet/watch the games?

**Maverick22** · 10-03-12, 09:56 AM

Caesars isn't bad. I would go and watch games there again. The drinks are kinda steep in the sportsbook. So plan accordingly

Desert Inn

**PAYTON20** · 10-03-12, 10:08 AM

Depends on what you're looking for. The Cosmopolitan is new and has the highest quality tv screens, but there is no smoking and it doesn't have the same atmosphere that some do

Caesar's is a decent spot, not a big fan of their older tv screens tho

If you wanna check others out I'd recommend Planet Hollywood & MGM Grand

**Sam Odom** · 10-03-12, 10:14 AM

get a taste of old vegas

visit Plaza Hotel's Book (William Hill Race & Sports Book)

**ChalkyDog** · 10-03-12, 10:25 AM

Depends, if you got money, it is Legasse's stadium in Palazzo<--- can't tell me there is a better spot, because there isn't.

If you have a car, going out to GVR in Henderson is a solid choice. Good book, and no crowd to fight over prime locations.

I recently spent some time at the M, I need to go back to see how I feel about it. Seems good - but it is also far as fukk away.

Gold Coast during March Madness is a winner for me always

Personally, if I am simply by myself (meaning I can get a decent spot easier) I just stroll into Caesars. Enjoy their layout.

NO NO NO NO

cosmopolitan is the worst sportsbook of any major casino, it's ridiculously small and right next to a nightclub

bellagio - free drinks with no tickets or bullshit, big cushy chairs

**bankOmAn** · 10-03-12, 10:46 AM

I'll also check Caesars out since I'll be staying there anyway.

If u are staying at caesars u can have a racing form and a seat reserved for u in the a.m....Horses and NCAA start at 9am!

**CanuckG** · 10-03-12, 10:48 AM

Bellagio is too small. Caesars is kinda crowded not a fan of the set up. Hilton was not bad...

**dj_destroyer** · 10-03-12, 10:50 AM

VENETIAN

Lots of screens, lots of room, nice book, free WIFI, you can sometimes get free drinks (if a server ever wonders over), etc.

**Brock Landers** · 10-03-12, 11:02 AM

Hard Rock

**Sam Odom** · 10-03-12, 11:04 AM

Brock , you are too old and bald for hard rock

You would look creepy

Brock , you need to look like this to have any cred at Hard Rock - BTW , he is fukking Paris Hilton these days

**bankOmAn** · 10-03-12, 12:01 PM

Guess Hard Rock isn't for me haha

**jjgold** · 10-03-12, 12:06 PM

Any big book period

Palms..ect

**LVHerbie** · 10-03-12, 12:35 PM

Watching games in books in Vegas blows because you got dozen games going where you are only get sound on one (always the wrong one...) and a bunch degens all screaming about 5 different silly games when they still need another 8 to hit to for their $5 lotto ticket long shot parlay to come in...

If you really need to sweat your bets pay the $15 to the hotel for internet for the day and follow along on firstrowsports (or whatever the current flavor of the month pirate streaming site is) and have access to stuff that is really important (real books offshore, line services, and ability to fade Brooks' rubberband plays)...

**JP Varick** · 10-03-12, 12:37 PM

I'd second that suggestion for Bellagio. Went there last year for the opening round of the NCAA tourney, what a hell of a scene.

Main reason I said the Venetian. FREE WIFI IN THE BOOK. They'll tell you to stop if they see you betting online, but it's easy to not be seen.

Planet hollywood is the worst

**HoulihansTX** · 10-03-12, 01:56 PM

Wynn, as the whole place has free Wifi.

**philswin** · 10-03-12, 01:56 PM

I like to watch the games at the Brewpub in the Monte Carlo

**milwaukee mike** · 10-03-12, 02:14 PM

as you can see, just like favorite restaurants everyone likes something a little different

i don't like any of the places that make you get tickets for drinks except paris, small sportsbook but they have gigantic glasses of modelo!

i could sit in the paris las vegas sportsbook all day (and have) drinking modelo and betting sports/races

bellagio, more of a dewar's on the rocks or jack and coke since they have nice big cocktail tumblers

not at all surprising that i would rate sportsbooks based on their waitress service and glass sizes

that's why I said it depends what he's looking for guy. I'm not a fan of watching the games on 1990's washed out projectors or tv screens from 100 yards away, where the audio is always on the wrong game or some horse race that I'm not betting

I want to be right in front of a nice plasma or LCD tv screen watching the game in High-Definition with audio

**luvtogamble** · 10-03-12, 03:12 PM

the new sportsbook at Venetian; was there in late august and have new huge HD tv's with best picture of anyu I have seen. like ceasars but the tv's are so old and only about 4 large screen and rest small screens and if back cannot even see them.

**FuzzyDunlop** · 10-03-12, 03:27 PM

Lot of good info here, and I would add that taking a $50 cab ride to Red Rock is worth it. Really nice room, totally different vibe with it catering to locals.

**compaqDikk** · 10-03-12, 03:34 PM

StarDust. 40 feet away to acess to 20 payphones. also hackacble to avoid paying a quarter
