Bill's. (old Barbary Coast) Just has a great feel to it. Easy to bounce back from tables to book. Fun to watch young strung out person coming up from Drais around 7AM when you are checking out the days lines. Just bring your fishing pole and some bait if you are interesting.

great shopping available in the downtown area--books arent super sweet but that edge on the number should help you cash in a few more during the course of a season

I'm usually found slumming it at the Gold Coast book every September opening NFL week.I like the local feel of it from the cheap hot dogs to the school desk seats and the old school racing results board.I imagine myself living in LV and trying to grind out a day's wage.

Always end up staying there a few nights and it's heaven to go downstairs and get some coffee and the daily baseball sheet.

I just got back from Vegas and spent most of my time at the MGM book... didn't really get around to the others. How do others compare? I was impressed by MGM's book.

Hilton-best lines available and the book is huge. I liked it alot

Mandalay - Loved the feel of it. bunch of tvs, nice seats

Bellagio-best one in my opinion, Tvs, chairs, and drink service are all top notch

Bellagio comfortable chairs and drink service was top notch. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Caesars was a JOKE 7$ or 8$ without tip for a fuckin corona in their book even when you're playing big money.

LV Hilton - They give you the most options. They offer ML's other books will not.

it seems to me the MGM book is really just a walkthru with lines posted and TV's on the wall--not really a book but more a travel area as it relates to hotel
