    Vegas Advice

    Good Afternoon Gentlemen,

    Just seeking some general Vegas advice, as I haven't been there in 5 years, and just kind of stumbled around back then.

    I'm staying at the Wynn Sunday through Wednesday, and will likely spend a good majority of the time in the Sportsbooks. I'll likely bet a few hundred a game or so, and would like to at least drink and possibly eat for free. Anywhere specific I need to be checking out?

    Thanks in advance.

    sportsbook comps for us regular guys are tough these days

    cant help with Wynn

    believe 'Total Rewards' program from caesars/harrahs properties is the best for us

    you do not eat for free betting a couple of hundred a game

    Try maybe $5000 and up at most books

    No comps Wynn

    Stations Properties bet $10,000 in Sports with card get $10 in dollars and that is real generous

    Drink tickets easy betting a couple of hundred

    tip

    if you're betting 2 or more games starting at the same time...

    place them individually a few mins apart - ask for drink tickets each time if not offered

    Playing $50.00 a hand in black jack, I am happy just to get a line pass for the buffets so I won't have to wait 90 minutes.

    Well I'll scrap free food......no big deal.

    More or less I want to know that if I drop $1,000 in a day, that I can at least drink my sorrows at away at no cost.

    I'm staying at Wynn, but would like to bounce around and check out a good number of books on the strip while I'm there.....I don't anticipate old Vegas, which a few of the suggestions were for.....should have clarified that.

    If you haven't been I would recommend going to Westgate's super book. They just remodeled last year and the place is the meca of all sports books in Vegas.

    Well your certainly staying at the right hotel.

    Unfortunately one of the worst Sportsbooks, (in terms of customer appreciation).

    If you say what kind of bettor you are and a little more for what your looking for I can help


    Little tip-

    Every book post their hours at 8am-10pm, however football season, Saturday & Sunday, all books open at 7am, and your going to want to be in there on line at 7am, Sunday's are shit-show's.

    Opening a mobile app at one of the books, your first day here, will me a great move, you can easily cash out on the app before you leave McCarron, and keep the app on your phone for your next visit, (account will still be active, just can't log-in outside of Nevada).

    Westgate will give you 2 drink tickets per $100 risked, if your that guy

    Then you can buy a $22 hamburger at their cafe.

    All of the books are far more generous to race players than sports players. If you make a couple small horse bets and keep the tickets in front of you they will just keep bringing you drinks. Probably be a good idea to grab a racing form as well to sell it a little more. But bet the fav or 2nd choice to show in a couple races with small fields and you might not lose any $$$.

    Best advice in thread. If you are really worried about paying for drinks, go buy a bottle of the booze of your choice and make your own drinks in book.

    My advice go to all of the sports books on strip. Real trip the different styles and clientele IMO.

    Have fun

    Go the penetrating conveince store and buy a $20 bottle of greygoose or whatver the penetrate it is u drink and dont worry about getting free drinks.

    If your really that penetrating cheap why are you going to vegas period.?

    When your getting coffee and softdrinks from restuaunts do u keep the cups for another day so u can get free refills
