    What is your favorite sportsbook?

    I'm not a sports guy, the the sportsbook at Wynn, Caesars and Cosmopolitan seemed pretty nice to me.

    Whatever the purple card is (venetian)
    Probably Wynn. Its big, lots of individual seating for sports (and you can find just about any game on the monitors), and the old yellow and red boards. I dislike the newer boards (e.g. Aria)

    My favorite is Bellagio. I spend a lot of time there every trip and know most of the bartenders and sports book tellers (not sure if that is right word).

    Formerly Caesars until they put in that hideous long bar. I actually like 2 offstrip properties (GVR and the M resort). I'll watch the first NFL weekend
    games at one of these places...or the Tropicana.

    I haven't sat down to watch a game there yet, but we had a blast playing shuffleboard at Cosmo's new book. I really like the layout.

    I haven't been to many sportsbooks in Vegas but my favorite would probably be the Mirage. $125 for a nice couch and open bar all day and night.

    I have hardly ever met one I didn't like. I play both horses and bet what ever sports that are in season. So I like a book where I can watch and wager on both. My all time favorite was the Stardust. A ton of locals hung in there and there were some of the best horse players you would find anywhere. The first morning line went up there every day and the hard core sports bettors were all lined up waiting for first crack at the line. They had a lottery type drawing for the honor of making the first 7 or so bets before the line went public. No cells back then so a lot of scrambling for pay phones.

    Today I still have a soft spot for the Mirage. It is the first "modern" book on the strip and set the standard for every new or remodeled book since. My favorite place today to watch games is probably Emeril's stadium at V/P. My favorite book to bet the horses and sports is at the Trop. Old time feel and very knowledgeable tellers.......

    Years ago I loved the Mirage book. It was easy to get drink tickets while we bet small on horses waiting for the Kentucky Derby. These days I hardly bet sports or horses but will play video poker the Cosmo sports book bar.

    I find the Wynn is the most relaxing, with minimum loiterers.

    That being said I am always at Ceasars, because that's where I stay.
