    a few questions for Vegas PROs
    My best friend and I wanna take a short 2-3 day trip from Moscow to Vegas in Dec/Jan to bet on some NFL/NHL/UFC.
    Now, I've been in Vegas a few times a long time ago and kinda know the place, but still need recommendations for the best places where I can bet on these sports. We're looking for the places that could accommodate 2K-5K bets without asking extra question. Places that would take 5K on a 2-3 team parlays also.

    Also, my buddy only has a Russian passport (No SSN or US DL)...would that be OK with books that he's a total foreigner with no ties to US?

    Any suggestions on high end hotel accommodations that are close to the books? last time I was there we stayed at the Mandarin Oriental and I really liked it.

    Thanks in advance fellas!

    There might be 3 people on this forum that actually bet those amounts in Vegas. Hoping one of them comes in here and can help you out.

    Would have more luck asking which ones accept $2 bets - haha

                you only need id for over 10k usually, parlays I have no idea.

                The Coast casinos are a bubble gum bookie all the others will take big bets and if they do have a limit it still is unlimited rebets after they move the line. Check vegasinsider for the best odds. LVH and Circus Circus offer the best comps for your wagers.

                                      Aria, Wynn for high class. LVH for best lines and degeneracy.

                                      Going to need ID to cash any ticket amount over 10K. 5K parlays no problem almost anywhere for NFL. PM me for more details.

                                          Will Hill and cantor for me...anything up to 9999 and your good.

                                          they may photocopy tickets over 2500.....if you refuse to use a players card

                                          not sure about your parlay.....

                                          if you don't smoke.....the Platinum hotel right off the strip on Flamingo is decent.....1100 sq feet suite....they will personally drive you around in the house SUV if you let them know you mean business. I prefer to get away from the nasty smelling casinos myself.

                                          otherwise the Wynn and Aria are decent to stay.

                                              Russian, I always tell my friend your hockey plays and you've been on fire lately so thank you. That said if you want to do some slumming and honestly have a great time head over to a place called Casino Royal which is directly across from the Mirage on the strip. It's white trash at it's finest, everybody is drunk, their feature restaurant is a Denny's & Outback Steakhouse which is embarrassing but it's loud, fun and offers the strips best odds on craps. Hundred times odds, nobody even comes close. It's a train wreck but so is Vegas in general. As far as sports books I've always enjoyed the Mirage. Solid bar and two restaurants in the room and I've seen plenty of people drop bigger money than you're talking about at the windows. Have a good time and keep up the good work on the hockey.

                                                thanks for the recommendation WWW.. I like a chill clean atmosphere with a place to gamble. 5-10 years ago I would probably be right in the mix of things at the place that you've described...but as I grew older, dealing with this type of nonsense no longer interests me.
                                                I don't gamble in the casino...played live poker twice in my entire life...I do however heavily gamble on sports...so a clean sportsbook with good odds is pretty much all I'm looking for.

                                                good luck through the rest of the year with your bets

                                                              I've had my best luck at the M, which was Cantor last I checked.

                                                              They take weird parlays too.

                                                              Off the strip by a lot, worth the trek for me.
