Thinking about coming to Vegas for a trip and have some questions about the sportsbooks, first off do most offer where you can bet anything like tennis? Also do people like wait in line for when the college lines come out. Do most books offer 2H or live betting like online sites or do they have anything setup where you give them money ahead of time and you can bet from a computer like online betting is there anything like that or do you have to go up to the window every time to make a bet...have more questions but let's see if anyone can answer these! Thanks

Yes, you will be able to bet tennis and some sportsbooks offer computer betting after you deposit money. 

2H betting is available, but for football games be careful what book you go to.  If you go to a shitty book like The Venetian, you won't be able to get any 2H bets in because the line is too long and they will only have 2 people working the counter.

Just google William Hill sports books in LV.  Then you can put $ in an account and bet Inplay, Tennis, UFC Champions League and etc. As long as you are in NV you can bet.

Call me old fashion, but when I go to Vegas I like ticket and cash in hand.  So I am not the one to ask about computer betting, I always do over the counter.  There are some other people on here that do computer betting in Vegas and will be able to help you out. 

My favorite book is Aria, but it is not for every one.  It is more low key and it does not offer computer betting.

Thanks for the help! Now when you do over the counter which I wouldn't mind, have you bet 2H is it easy to get it in in time? Or do they offer live betting over the counter as well?

Derr, the only place I have had problems with getting 2nd half bets in is The Venetian.  That is one of the reasons that I avoid that place like a plague now.

Another question, online books post CFB lines at like 4 on Sunday for the next week, do they also do that in Vegas and are people there waiting to bet them as soon as they come out? Numbers like that can move very fast

I just got back from vegas, spent sunday at Palazzo. The lines for next week were up as soon as the 4pm games started on sunday. However I can't say there was any line, a couple people but they were mostly looking for 2h bets
