I plan on visiting Vegas:  Wednesday, October 4 and leaving Tuesday, October 10.  If you could only stay at one hotel and had to use their sports book only,  where would you stay?

Hotel considerations:
1. Clean rooms.
2. Good food, but doesn't have to be 5 stars.
3. Not ridiculously loud at night when trying to sleep.
4. Cost of the room is NOT a concern.

Sports Book considerations:
1. I will mainly be wagering on NFL and UFC.
2. I don't want to have a constant issue of finding a new seat every time I get up to bet, get a snack, use the restroom, etc.
3.  Having good screens/TVs to watch the game is huge plus.
4.  Getting free drinks is NOT of importance.

Other information:
1.  I'm hoping to see UFC 216 at the T-Mobile Arena on October 7th.
2.  I will be traveling with 1 guest.

Thanks in advance my fellow cappers!

You're probably going to get many different options of recommendation here, frankly speaking they'll all suit your needs.  are all of equal value, and comfort. With outstanding Sportbooks attached...

On the Strip: Wynn Hotel & Casino (AAA rated sportsbook) 

Off the Strip: (two blocks east) Westgate Hotel & Casino ( this sportsbook has the largest, and most dynamic theater screens for sports viewing in Vegas, and may I add to your delight, with the best UFC odds, second to no one) 

enjoy your stay, have a good time at UFC 216

They Wynn sportsbook is currently under a renovation and the substitute is quite puny.

The Cosmopolitan and Mandalay Bay both have nice sight lines and good drink service with the Mirage a close third. 

On the other end of strip the Westgate has the best sportsbook in Vegas but food options are not that great

Hey Kid,

Appreciate the heads up, I was unaware of the present renovation (how on earth could you renovate something that is triple A rated, with an outstanding set-up; I'm anxious to see the results)

I'm with you! No idea why the renovation  but have to think upon completion the new Wynn sportsbook will be the ultimate in Vegas. I'm actually putting off a planned early sept trip so can experience the new book whenever it re-opens and the kinks are worked out---hopefully ncaa conf champ week

Update:

Went by the Wynn sportsbook today to check-it-out; well low and behold, the renovation is finished!!!  "open for action"

this place  can only be categorized as 'second' to no other sportsbook in LV. (and I've been to all of them over the years, both old, and brand new) nothing like it anywhere. I'm thoroughly impressed (especially the viewing screens, and odd boards throughout....

CrossChex: I would make reservations asap, my professional recommendation;

Wynn Resorts Hotel & Casino

  It's up and fully operational! went by last night (impressive) Oh, and btw, parking is free to all Sportsbook players, (exclusively) who are not a guest of the Hotel, "this place is one fabulous sportsbook" a very, very, comfortable place to hang out, and bet sports...

SPORTS, I'll be in town for fight but not going "TO IT"

Where will be the BEST PLACE/SORTS BOOK so I can watch it?

That WYNN book "was" absolutely gourgeous before with all that nice wood, wtf? why would they remodel that book other it being very small...That whole property seems very classy

Crusher,

My answer last week would have been the Westgate SuperBook, after seeing what Wynn did to his book, I would have to say the Wynn Sportsbook, (they increased the seating capacity, and added theater screens similar to Westgate's) worth checking out. Another comfortable book for viewing events is Red Rock Hotel & Casino (theater screens)...enjoy the fight, enjoy LV.

Like it's been said already most books offer just about all the same options. My personal preference is the mirage great screens comfy seats good food all over hotel no lines to wager . No matter what you pick, enjoy it !!

Thank you for all of the recommendations.  I had to change my dates to arrive a week earlier in Vegas, so I won't be seeing UFC 216.  However, I'm pretty stoked to be staying at the Wynn from 9/28 thru 10/3.  Thanks again!

Thanks, 'Net!

Be aware that there can be quite a bit of noise from the nightclubs in certain rooms at the Wynn.

LV is not a silent denominator, 'noise' is the name of the game, and what people seek, and pay for, no need to be aware of 'noise' or the silent minority

He specifically said he wanted some peace and quiet at night.  You can certainly find rooms at the Wynn that offer that and some that do not due to pounding bass from nightclubs until 4 am.

Wynn is a 5 star Michelin rated Hotel, with two 5 star restaurants; the Encore is 'new', and luxurious throughout, sporting some of the best suites LV has to offer, both hotels sellout on a daily basis 365 days a year. So mbialowas, in all due respect, what exactly do you mean by "downhill" your opinion has no merit, or you have been truly mis-informed

Are you guys saying the Wynn sportsbook is better than the Westgate sportsbook?

Not arguing about the quality, it is definitely a 5 star property. Sports book is limiting action lately, and the comps are drying up, so I said fuckk'em

Both have been recently renovated, and are of equal proportion, however, we're talking about 'where' to watch a game. not where to bet a game, the SuperBooks software is like their theater screens, the best LV has to offer, Wynn Resorts, a great place to stay, an outstanding sportsbook for watching events (huge screens) there software needs to be updated, no live betting, no app accounts available; so the answer is simply NO it's not...

Hello sports_Network, you seem to know a lot about Vegas.

I'm from France and I will be at Las Vegas the 19th of November for week 11 and also for thanksgiving. So total of 6 nights.

I am a 300$ unit bettor. I bet 80% H, 20% O/U and some parlays. I will try to go to the Wynn to watch the game. 
Would you recommand that I wager my bets at the Wynn or elsewhere? 

I stay at the Luxury suites international at the signatures, but I can cancel for free.. 
I'd like to stay under 150$ a night for two, if you have a better idea with my budget ?

Also I'd like to know if hotels keep the pools hot in November?

Regards
