                You can use a cell phone in the casino, just not at a table (whether its poker, blackjack, craps, etc.) Cells phones are not allowed by Nevada state law in any sportsbook. Its an old law that disallows communication devices for those who were attempting to line shop, scalp, etc...

                  What is the big deal about having your cell phone in a sportsbook?

                          Its a pretty outdated law that the casinos admittedly spend too much energy on with all of the line services and things out there these days. There is actually an effort to repeal the law...

                            One example is East coast horse racing feeds can be delayed on the west and vegas does not have word of it immediately. Your buddy in New York tells you the winner while you still have time to place a bet. Rare, but its happened

                                  I wish cell phones weren't allowed to be used inside most other establishments as well and not just sportsbooks. Bunch of no-life texting mofo's out there in this world if you ask me.

                                    Willie you're too angry.

                                    When I was just in Vegas in March, I saw on the local news that they are attempting to get rid of that outdated law.

                                    It was annoying trying to save my seat in between games and Robyn would go play slots so I would be stuck there by myself with no one to call. So sad.....

                                        I tend to believe otherwise. I may be a crotchety old fool, but I simply find it very annoying and inconsiderate the way many are yacking on their phone in some circumstances, and it's been proven time and time again that it presents a danger in many instances (i.e., driving a vehicle). And the fact so many folks ONLY interact with others via computers/texting troubles me.

                                        If it was up to me, I wouldn't allow any electronic or communication devices at a casino table, and I don't believe that necessarily makes me an angry person.

                                          I think the idiots are the guys on the phones. Most know the rules, and its is posted enough at the books where everyone should know. Now they have to see if people are on their blue tooth head set. That is hard to tell.

                                            Nope...not in the sportsbook...if you need to use your mobile, you must go outside the sportsbook.

                                                      if I remember correctly they lifted the ban on cellphones at the tables. Meaning u can text and talk while playing. Just ask ur dealer.

                                                      But ya no sportsbooks allow cell usuage.
