My First Vegas Trip

Alright I know this is sad but I am 28 and going on my first Vegas Vacation at the end of this month. I was doing some research and I was wondering who has the best sports book. I am staying at the Venetian heard it was a pretty good book, but I wanted to get some people's opinions who have actually been to vegas.


Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Nick

When I was there in April, my wife would nap for a couple hours in the afternoon or sit by the pool and I would wander off to the Wynn sportsbook. Have fun Nick

honestly, the only bad sportsbooks i seen in Vegas was the Bally's Luxor and they were a joke. All others are very nice. Yes some are nicer than others, but even downtown at those shit casinos had nice sportsbooks. The Wynn is very nice, but chances are you wont even be close to there. Its a long cab ride out of the way and its for high rollers like Iggs. Mandalay Bay is nice and so is NY NY. The Mirage is supposed to have the best one, i never made it there though lol

Yes, The Mirage is very good also. Can't believe I forgot that one and they come around for drinks all the time and don't ask for drink cards, bet slips etc. Really good book for horses, the area is huge

You at Harrah's?

Not a bad casino, but the worst sportsbook out there now, I was there in July and it was shoved inside the corner of a bar with about 3 seats to watch the games
