who has the most comfortable sports book in vegas

NYNY

Just got back this morning....The Bellagio is outstanding & the drink service is the best in Vegas. Just give the waitress a nice tip on your 1st drink ($5 is cool) & she'll become your best new friend...

 

The seats are leather like executive chairs that have wheels which makes it real easy to get out of when you've got a bett you need to get down in a hurry.

las vegas hilton is always a good stop for numerous games as they feature lots of big screens , a bit off the beaten trail but worth the trip

Looking at going for the first weekend of March Madness next year... How do the sportsbooks work for a weekend like that?  Can you get a seat? Do you have to get there at 7AM to get a seat or are do you have to be betting a certain amount to get a seat?  Sorry I know march madness is a long long way off, but wanted to start getting it figured out now...

 

Is it not even worth trying to fight the crowds at a sportsbook?  I was in LV las weekend and went to Bellagio sportsbook and loved it...

MGM was nice....

 

actually liked Excaliburs book...not the best for tv's, but always not crowded when I was there

Thanks for the responses guys?  Have you been during march madness or is that just in general.

 

Well Im a big drinker so I loved the Bellagio drink service, waitress didn't even ask if we were betting.  I hadn't even got in a bet yet and we already had drinks in front of us.

NYNY,,wtf-, an old straight back couch and a a dozen or so chairs for the horse players,, maybe one of the worst,,certainly NOT the best ,, meander across the blvd to MGM, while not the best blows out NYNY by comparison,, just got back from pac man - hatton so this is current

The new M Resort out where I live is

what exactly is the process to place a bet in a sportsbook?  Do you just walk up to a teller and tell them the team you want and for how much?

I think you can do that but you will piss off the tellers from what I understand.  There is a board with rotation numbers next to each team/bet.  So for instance the board will look like (someone correct me if I am wrong).

 

#534     Atlanta     -150     -3        207

#535     Miami      +130    +3       

 

You go up to the teller and say $100 on #534, which means you want to lay the points on atlanta.  You have to specify money line or total if thats what you want to bet.  It may just be easier for you to tell the teller what game you want.  I placed my first wager at a brick and mortar last weekend, used the numbers and ended up on the Rockets instead of the Jazz, haha. 

I spend a night at the Bellagio and I leave with a sore neck. You need to slouch in your chair, cranking your neck upwards. The drinks are the perk, but if you're a big enough better its not a problem anywhere else. My personal favorite has always been the Venetian. You get a drink ticket for a $50 bet, waitresses come along pretty often and are pretty quick. Three large TV's, Not leather, but large, comfy chairs to relax in. I've long though the Venetian sportsbook was the best kept secret in Las Vegas.

Cyalx, what part of MD are you located......a  group of us from the DC area go every year the first week of the NFL

I never went to a lot of sports books but I think Planet Hollywood had the most fomfortable chairs.

As far as plush comfort -- I gotta say MGM is really nice.

 

Mandalay Bay is pretty nice. Seating on the right for anybody. And on the left it's pretty much all sharpies on the horses I think.

 

But here is something I discovered.  Lines for NCAA tourney at Mandalay are nuts. So take the overground tunnel to Excalibur and ask a waitress where the sportsbook is -- the lines are not half as bad and the betting lines are about the same.  Then just go back and soak up the action in Mandalay.  It's a
