just saw your post, I went down to the book to bet a few.
playing bac I won 12k tipped 1500, the 12 made my trip 5k up, was happy to get out
Thats sweet, man. I love bacc. One of the best table games out there and i like it better than blackjack because you don't have to play every hand. You sit out a hand in blackjack and your neighbor will be quite irrate.
Good stuff. 
Pitt and NFLNightmare are both right - neither is "dumb." I think NFLNightmare's elaboration was more anecdotal and not intended as a direct analysis of the books.

Bally's had to close their sportsbook. They encourage you to go over the the Paris piece of shit sportsbook. Name a major strip casino that doesn't even have a sportsbook? I'm sure a part of the problem is Ballys specifically, but fact is Vegas sportsbooks don't bring in enough money anymore to make it worth their while.
I didn't know that. That book was completely worthless anyways. They always had some woman supervisor who was scared to death to take bets. She would take $100 on games. Yes, one hundred dollars. You could have more if you were a hotel guest, which, of course, eliminated anyone with a clue. I hated that c___.
Yes if you have a wager on the games you drink for free. I have at the MGM grand sportsbook many times. 
If you are major cheap ass. Just play the 25 cent horse racing game before you get to the sportsbook at MGM grand. You get free drinks playing that to.
Did you listen to Bill Simmons on his podcast about the NBA playoffs?
He and his friend House were cluelessly ripping apart Pinnacle's series prices. Simmons wasn't even aware Pinnacle was a sportsbook!
I have come to two possible conclusions:
He has never made a bet online and has only made a handful of bets in Vegas. He bets at bodog.
I think it depends a lot on the book and who you are actually. I have sat and watched games at a dive book like the Imperial Palace with a $55 ticket in hand and drank $60 in drinks while watching the game, then end up hitting and cashing my $105 ticket and walk away with more than I came in with along with a killer buzz.
On the flip side, I've wagered $550 on a single game at Caesar's and went as far as asking for a drink coupon and the guy said I hadn't wagered enough....not even for one stinkin' coupon!
I see guys that look like regulars walking away with a fistful of coupons at places like Luxor or Mandalay and I go up and wager the same amount and the guy might give me two drink tickets - BTW, I noticed there's a definite positive correlation between how much you tip when you win and how many drink tickets you get during subsequent wagers 
So again, I think it depends on the book and who you are; it appears that they take care of their regulars which makes sense, especially if they have a real fish on their hands that they want to keep coming in over and over again.
