Here is the rundown of some of the people I have encountered at the sports books:
Angry guy Spews venom about every fumble and bad break and how this player and that player darn him every week and is always doubling up at halftime and never has bet an underdog in his life.
Cheers for everything guy Every big play this guy is cheering and yelling no matter which team does it and you ask yourself what the hell is he betting??
Coors light in hand guy Never is without a drink and just bets like he is donating money by betting 8 team pleasers 20 team teasers and more than often gets shut out fumbling over his bets so goes over to the horse book betting pick 4's at Finger Lakes.
Psychotic quiet guy Arms folded, never smiles, and eyes bugging out of his head and just yells an occasional quiet "darn me!" knowing he has bet grandma's pickup
Greatest better ever guy Has to loudly tell the whole sports book he is 5-0 with a pocket full of tickets ready to be cashed and is hitting over 80% this year and thinks the cocktail waitresses want to jump his bones.
Never leaves guy He is there at 8:00 AM Sunday morning and after the afternoon games end you leave for dinner and do other things and randomly go back into the hotel past the sports book and still see him sitting there watching a loop of the highlights until midnight.
Bad hat guy Looks like he lives in a treehouse with an old Churchill Downs race and sports book hat and weighs about 120 lbs with a cigarette and corona in hand and 1970's pro keds who might shower twice a week.
Just a few observations from all the different people I have encountered over the years at sportsbooks

So funny.
A few comments. Cantor takes over the counter wagers up to $3k. They do push for accounts to be created though both for convenience of leaving the counters open so not as money people have to wait. Also they are trying to push mobile wagering so they don't have to hire so many writers as this is a way to save the company money. I'm sure tracking people's plays is a motivation as well, maybe not so much for the guys who bet Floyd type money, but rather for the guys that bet $3k-$5k a few times a day and may cross that $10k threshold during a day.
Sports books always have an entertaining group, especially during football. I can't imagine anything worse than getting stuck behind some guy who has no clue what he is doing, asks how the money line wagers work, takes 15 minutes to make up his mind after waiting in line for 20 minutes, only to then bet $10 on his hometown team.

South Point has the absolute best drink ticket policy. Their book is old, smokey, and run down but they give out drink tickets like they're Halloween candy. Tip the writer and they will definitely take care of you at South Point.

GREAT comment K Train!
In my 14 years of living here in Las Vegas it always makes me want to scream when I get behind some jerk-off and I have two minutes to post time on a race at Santa Anita and the following happens
1) He looks at his Daily Racing Form like it's Einsteins Theory of Relativity and he don't understand what he is reading
2) Then, said guy forgets his betting voucher and screams manically at someone to bring it to him
3) Now he gets to the window and I am saying to myself...come on buddy, let's go...but what happens next? he now proceeds to want 15 different exacta combinations. Then bets $2.00 on a long shot just because the name of the horse equals a name of a family member, girlfriend, or something in his life

eh vegas sportsbooks arent all that really unless its a big game or playoffs. then its a cool enviorment but if you are there just for a game or 2 id rather just bet online.
for me i get nervous betting $100 live in a sportsbook
but could dump $500 online and not sweat or think nothing of it.
guess bc i can see the money and online its virtual

Van, I stayed at the Venetian last week and had mostly a horrible experience with their sportsbook. It was definitely worse then what I've experienced before. You can see my write up and comment I left for the casino here:
