Best sportsbook in Vegas to watch a game

[fishmonger]

I know where not to go. New York New York. The board is skinny and all the way to the ceiling. Looking at lines is literally a pain in the neck and so are watching games. What a crappy constructed sportsbook.

Uh...
How are there no votes for The Hilton?!
Free drinks and quality lines!

The Tropicana/Hard Rock/Cosmo Cantor books are all very impressive.

The El Cortez is kind of cool at times, just because it is my favorite place to gamble at the tables, $1 roulette!

Ian, do you reside in Vegas????

Yes.

I went there after the bash last year to check week one college football lines and there were drug dealers outside at 12 in the afternoon. I was a little scared until I got in. It would be a quality place if they cleaned up the rift raft outside lurking.

what is the cosmo cantor?

[shaunovery]

Love the Hilton was there in jan

[ChuckyTheGoat]

1) Hilton
2) Palace Station. TVs a little too high, I guess.
3) Fremont

I don't spend a lot of time on the Strip. Takes too much damn time to get in/out of those monstrosities.

Won the World Championship of NFL handicapping at the property..............at least a couple of SBR posters entered the same contest that year.

Many legendary betting figures were in the field........

[TEXAS MICKEY]

The Orleans, great staff, great lines, free hot dogs & beer everyday at 2 o'clock.

SouthPoint to watch multiple games, was there one Sunday for NFL, Michael Gaughn the owner came out and actually worked the book as a teller. Great Guy, his Daddy taught him well.

[INVEGA MAN]

[clarkd32]

invega - where did get that deal at? call the hotel? they offer it to you based on action on previous visit?

[homerbush]

Am I the only one that thinks the Santa fe station sports bar/book is incredible?

[Maxmillion]

sante fe is very underrated but if you are staying at the strip its not worth the drive. the problem i have with stations are their lines, especially with baseball, i dont know how many times I see -120 on totals where other local joints you may not get the 1/2 run but you get -110, -105.

How are there so many votes for Mandalay? Shit seats and old projection TV's. I'd much rather watch games at home than there.

For purely watching games on the strip, any of the Cantor books are phenomenal. MGM has a ton of HD screens. Lagasse's is full of HD screens and decent seating.

And whoever was talking shit about the Trop apparently hasn't been there in the last year...

congrats FH.... I love that place, $1 beers, waitresses and bartenders are all super nice, not to crowded most of the times but still descent numbers, easy access to ticket window, sports/bar type foods, good environment in general, beer types for all - after all its a brewery... if it was closer to strip would go there more often but I always at least once on my visits.

exactly what i am talking about mf .. no clue as to why people love that place.. i love the beach/pool there.. but other then that.. the place can be lackluster.. starting with the sportsbook

[tony_come]

Tony_come place

place is no joke

[chipper]

Recently watched a game at Aria and enjoyed myself... I also like Santa Fe Station's book.

[LVBOUND]

Bellagio drinks are still free

[bill2266]

As I've stated for years, none better than SUNSET STATION if watching more than 4 games at once...............


For just ONE game.........many casinos/bars will surfice, but I would say the BELLAGIO if one likes free drinks.

i just live five min from sunset station, i really like the spook alot nice seats and alot of different games going on at once.

[Marigold HD]

I always go to the mirage personally. I should take up your guy's recommendations. Thanks.

[rem sleep]

Not a single vote for the M?

Not a single vote for the M?

people did mention the cantor shops.. and the M is one of them

[chipper]

I like the M too but the drive is just too far... practically at the CA border <grin!>.

Sam's town.The atmosphere is low key because it's mostly older snowbirds there.The chairs are comfy and the tv's are nice and it's clean.Drinks at the nearby bar like tappers are always dirt cheap.Then they give you a ride there for free and back in a comforatable air conditioned bus you can conveniently find departing from downtown or many of the strip casinos.

[mcaulay777]

Im very Old School just love the Southpoint not the most glitzy in the world just a solid nice place to relax and watch sports and horses.Back in the day i would say 80s to mid 90s I spent everywaking hour in Las Vegas at Caesars when it was the Olympiad Race and Sports book.They had that outstanding snack bar and the buffet was right in the back drinks were always free the waitresses were really pretty.Sometime after it all changed the snack bar was replaced with a nightclub called pure and Bobbys Flays fancy place there.Mean older women as cocktail servers really dropped off.Man those cheeseburgers at the snack bar were awesome like steak burgers.
