Sitting in LAX for 2 more hours waiting on my flight for Vegas. With the big day of sports upon us tomorrow, I am curious what the best sports book is on the strip. I'm likely headed to the Mirage, but open to suggestions.

Ready to make some money when we whoop that badger arse

This is the best weekend. It will soon be overcrowded with overweight men in varying nfl jerseys.

MGM always impressed me.

Now I feel the concensus is the Wynn.

Or newer. Aria or Cosmopolitan.

Probably dirt cheap riff raff now but NYNY back in the mid 2000's had a cool set up. ESPN zone was nearby. And they closed a theater off that was for a small act like magician or such. It was used for players. Sat in theater seats and a wall of tvs were rolled in. They brought either free or reasonable for Vegas priced beer. No food though. You had to order a pizza or get ESPN to go.

But I'm sure that place is low brow now. Lol

I like the one at the venetian as well as the one in the Bellagio, but just get on the strip and pick one, they all have a bunch of tvs with all the games on it.

Found myself in there after games began. I'd bet at Monte Carlo. There was a lot of old dirty Vegas in there.

Wynn > Venetian > Caesars. In order of the ones I have been in. Never seen MGM's or any of the older casinos.

It depends on what your main purpose for going is. If you want a good place to place bets, then you can't go wrong with Caesars or the Hilton (not on Strip). If you are interested in game watching, then it is a matter of personal preference. My favorite, based on the ability to watch multiple games without much in the way of distractions, is Mandalay Bay.

Best sports book? Bally's. Their lines are short.

The old Hilton (name has changed) was a really fun one. On the strip I would either go with Mandalay or Venetian

Old LVH is now Westgate. For years they set the most followed spread lines. It is still a nice place for actual game watching, and they have some lounges that will turn the game on tv as well.

The other option is if you have a casino host to get reserved seats someplace.

Placing bets, and a comfortable sportsbook, or place to watch games are two different things in my opinion.
