I've been to Las Vegas once before many, many years ago when I was like 12 with my family. Went to many shows, a basketball game, and event went outside of the city (hoover dam, etc)
This time I went with family and friends and stayed at MGM. I rented a car (very helpfull getting around quicker, if you hate walking 5 miles a day) and basically enjoyed all aspects of the city.
-shopping
-concerts
-watching sports
-pool
-slots/tables
-hoover dam
-lake mead
-obitz canyon
-travel around city
Since this is a sports betting site, I will stick with sports betting, and a little reviews on certain hot spots
I went to EVERY SINGLE sports book imagineable. Even if it was only for 5 minutes, I stayed, and I took notes.

WORST SPORTS BOOKS that are viewed as high grade spots
-MGM is a waste of time. Very small, and the t.v's are placed all over and when a game is not in your seating area, its impossible teo watch. Luckily for me I watched hockey, and nba playoffs. Crowd was weak, as you get lots of people walking on bye just to cut corners through the casino.
-BELLAGIO is a very nice hotel. Beautiful. Outstanding gardens out back, nice painting display, beautiful layout woodwork, and fantastic layout to get around. But the sportsbook is lame. I mean come on!!! The hotel gets a A+ but the sportsbook is a major dud. I would expect more than 20 seats in the sportsbook. i even told the book manager of my dissapointment, and said they are very happy with what and how they offer.
-MANDALAY BAY is always talked about being a top sportsbook. Where all the big boyz go. Well you better be a small boy or you will never fit in their chairs. This is a sportsbook/hotel that I will never even try to visit again. Wow I thought MB hotel was a lot nicer as well. You won't stay here long and on your way out you might even notice a few chairs sticking to the backside of patrons. Oh well, next!!!!!!!!!
-PALMS sportsbook might be a sportsbook you have to visit if you want a great laugh. If anybody tells you to visit the PALMS sportsbook you have to remind him if we are talking about the one in Las Vegas. WOW, WOW, WOW I stayed there all of 2 minutes. The hotel is cheap as well, and not in a good way. A major, major bust. One time I wish we never had a rental car. Stay away!!!!!!!!!!!
-Venetian Hotel is one of the nicest hotels in las vegas. They got amazing, amazing, amazing food services, and a real nice touch of well; VENETIAN. But the sportsbook is a drowse. I mean once you find the place you will only find visitors, and people wanting to take a nap. I can just imagine how bad of a time you would have on NFL sundays, or March Madness when more than 5 games are on.
-Circus Circus sportsbook is a must see like the palms. If you ever want to know how sportsbooks were done in the '50s and '60s, please visit the CC hotel. I love the hotel, its a blast, and slots of fun is right next door. A great, great value, but for sportsbooks they must make a major overhaul. They even hand print the odds, LOL it's a hoot!!
BEST SPORTSBOOKS and MUST VISITS
CAESARS PALACE is a must view. It has great t.v screens and if your lucky you even get your own private LED small screen television at your private table (note- t.v's dont always work-i'm still trying to get over the numbness of my thumb trying to turn to channel 12) A great atmosphere, and great sports crowd. They should make upgrades and make it more of a private area cause sometimes the music from the outside area interferes, but all in all a very, very good sportsbook.
LAS VEGAS HILTON is by far the #1 sportsbook in town. If you live in LV or have a rental car, GO TO LAS VEGAS HILTON. Easy accesilbility with the parking lot 100 feet from the sportsbook, and you have outstanding views of every television. The horsebook is a bit too big, and gets in the way of the sportsbook fans, but the locals just sit in those booths anyways. Nice chairs, and they have very, very cheap food about 20 feet away from the seating area. #1 book by far. Stayed there 3 nights to watch NHL playoffs, and tons of RED WING fans. Just a perfect place to watch sports.
