    Default Best Sportsbooks in Las Vegas

    I'm going to Las Vegas next month for The Tennis Channel Open. Which hotels have the best sportsbook? I'm thinking about staying at the Mirage or the Suncoast since both places offer free shuttle service to the Darling Tennis Center.

    suncoast isnt on the strip
    the mirage is
    just with that fact its no comparison

    not to mention the mirage is nicer, has better restaurants and spa and sportsbook and everything else

    suncoast is a crap hole

    I mostly stay around the local areas, and stay away from that traffic down around the strip.

    Here is the link I use to compair lines from each book in Vegas.

    Las Vegas Book Odds

    The odds are on a 15 minute delay/refresh rate. So it can be tough to get the better lines at time.

    I haven't been to Vegas in 2 years but I was there frequently before then so things may have changed. I rate them from a comfort standpoint,

    My favs:

    Bellagio
    Las Vegas Hilton (not the Hilton on the strip) best odds in town
    Caesar's Palace
    Treasure Island
    Boulder Station (not on strip)

    Comments on others:

    STRIP Casinos

    Mirage - poor lighting for horse handicapping otherwise very nice
    Bally's - spacious, auditorium shaped, away from main casino, usually quiet and empty
    Hilton (strip) - small, loud, not much happening there
    Barbary Coast - Small, where the tough knowledgeable locals hang out on the strip
    Venetian - small, comfortable, sizzling waitresses
    Imperial Palace - decent sized, away from main casino, hottest waitresses
    MGM Grand - medium size separate room, quiet, nice (pretty sure there were big changes planned for this one before I left)
    Excaliber - A lot of space devoted to a cheap crappy set-up
    Luxor - small, comfortable
    Mandalay Bay - large, loud, would recommend this place for big event watching
    Tropicana - Sports book only, separate room
    Stratosphere - Large, comfortable, attracts some questionable local clientel
    Riviera - tiny, uncomfortable
    Sahara - tiny, uncomfortable
    Wynn - Haven't seen it yet
    Aladdin - tiny, uncomfortable
    Paris - Spacious, comfortable
    Harrah's - Medium sized, average
    Frontier- small, comfortable, quiet
    Circus Circus - Small, lighting too crappy for me
    New York, New York - Tiny, loud, annoying pedestrian traffic all around

    LOCAL casinos

    Rio - medium sized, comfortable
    Palms - Nice, spacious, comfortable, can't bet NBA because Maloof's own Palms and Sacramento Kings
    Gold Coast - Need to be at least 70 years old to play here
    Texas Station - Another place to see some mahvelous piece of A$$
    Sam's Town - Need to be at least 72 years old to play here
    Orleans - Good sized, no individual monitors, waitresses wear not much
    Palace Station- Good size, comfortable, kind of loud

    Lord I miss those places. Enjoyed bringing them back in my mind to write this though.
