When I lived there each Thursday Night I would fill out 100 teaser/parlay cards for $3 each(which is why people make fun of me on this site) but at ridiculous odds with a high number of teams, so they were essentially lottery tickets. Hit a 12 team teaser at 250:1 last year one week last year which was the biggest win. It would take me like 3 or 4 hours but it was something fun to do.
HOWEVER.... horrible place to watch the games. Ugly cocktail waitresses, and all the local broke dick degens go there to watch the games. Too many characters there, and weirdos. Especially one guy last year who I referred to as Mullet Guy. He looked like Kenny Powers, and acted like he knew everything. Would have tons of books, sheets, almanacs, etc.
Placing bets there is one thing, watching games is another. To watch, I'll go to a classier book like Mandalay Bay or MGM with a better smell and without the riff raff.
LVH is nice for placing bets. And you are right about the casino patrons. A hybrid of a nursing home and biker convention.
