I am heading to LV next week (Oct 9-12) and want to place some bets (probably NCAAF, and maybe baseball? NHL futures?). Staying at Excalibur - I know their book has the option to mail in winnings. Are all other sportsbooks the same?
Also - any thoughts on how their book compares to others?

The Excalibur is not a place to hangout, walk across the street to the MGM for a more attractive ambience all the way around..it's recommended that you always gamble where you stay (for players card benefits)
Yes, all LV Sportbooks mail you your winnings

Thanks s_N. I kind of figured it might be better to hit one of the other places, although Excalibur does have a book (where I am staying). I do have a Caesars Total Rewards card, as our local casino is Caesar's property....so maybe I'll find one of their places to place any bets I might playing.

Cams, shop around the properties for the best odds esp on your futures bets..Do a little research on what props are closest to you to check out.You have 2 now,there are others on the strip where you may get a better value..all of them accept mail-in tix.GL

jamesxnj - Thanks. Will try and check things out. I've been to Vegas, but not for like 20 years! Never did any sports wagers back then that I can remember.

Just got back (well, back last Wed night). If I was there a day longer, more option would have been available to me...moneyline, etc. I was restricted (at least for NCAAF) to spread. Played a few single games (won 1), and a 2 parlays (won 1). Mailing winning tickets in today!
I did shop around, but didn't notice much difference. Excalibur, MGM Grand, Bally's, Paris.
Was told there were no additional perks/benefits with having the players card in respect to the book.
It was a learning experience, and had fun. Won some cash too!

FYI - sending tickets by registered mail (at least from Canada) is damn expensive! LOL $25.00!!!!!!
Anyways....it wasn't my first trip to Vegas, but my wife's first. I had gone about 20 yrs ago, and was not much into the sports gambling much (other than pools with friends type of stuff). My wife said I should take my winnings (whenever the cheque arrives), and turn it around into more wagers (would have to be online I suppose)!
Covers is a pretty good resource, but I don't post much, as I really don't have much insight (as far as capping goes) that I am confident in sharing. lol
It does amaze me though, how "good" a lot of people on here are at analyzing, etc., even predicting scores!

Stayed at The Linq last week and every time I placed a bet they asked for my TR card so you probably do get some sort of comps based on bet amounts but wouldn't think much compared to table games or slots
