Iv never seen that in my life
Been going to Vegas for 20 Years
Now, If you want to sit in the Sky Boxes at hte MGM Grand, You have to be able to bet at least 3K a game but they do not charge for you to sit there.
During the Floyd Mayweather Manny Pacquio fight they were charging 150 per seat but that wasnt at the sports books that was in banquette halls and theaters.

"I was reading online" You evedently read wrong, No LV or any sportsbook in the state of Nevada has ever 'charged' anything by way of a 'seat' for $100 ? $5000 ????? (get real! who; with the exception of a moron would pay 5k to sit in a seat located in a LV sportsbook, at any time, for any reason) This without doubt is the stupidest thread/statement I have ever read in the Las Vegas forum

They aren't really charging,it's like a comp like a free buffet or a room for a table player. Comps for sports bettors are few and far between so the book can let the high-roller think he's got something when it's really nothing. Hoorah you get to sit in a padded chair..

correction i was wrong you do have to bet like $5000 to sit and some seats so its like being charged to sit there
Well, you are wrong once again. First come first serve is the rule in Vegas. The only exception are the VIP seats, where you have to hold a certain level on your players card to get.

Nah.....wrong about VIP seats, specifically MGM. Its totally up to the ticket clerk to give you a band or not. Make a few hundred dollar bets on sports, or make a few horse bets, tip them consistently, make conversation and you're in. Its a balcony above the book. The other sports books during a special event may block off a section, but its no better than any other seat. I was in Vegas on the strip from Feb 15th thru Aug1st 2015. I covered a lot ground in those months, and met folks from all over the world one thing I know for sure, its not about the money you spend, its who you befriend. Nothing more, nothing less.
