Thanks for the answer mickeyrivers...Just two more questions:

1) For the 1st/2nd Half lines, do they give you most of the NCAA games or just some of the bigger conference ones?

2) Do you know of anywhere that offers reverse MLB runlines?

Thanks again man this is awesome info

In my experience just the bigger ones. A lot of the strip casinos do not offer the bettor many options. It will be worth your time to take a shuttle ot cab down to the southpoint or down to the M resort...The M also offers live in game betting.

Yeah, I ask because I have only been to Vegas once and didn't venture far from the strip...However, I was hoping to come to Vegas over the summer and play some MLB ---I specifically like reverse runlines.

In your experience you have seen the M resort offer them or any other off the strip books?

I figured as much for the NCAABB 1st/2nd halves, I like playing the lesser known conferences since they are easier to beat in my opinion.

Thanks again for all the great info  You are the man!

The Orleans has always offered reverse run lines but i have not wagered there in a few years. I would be shocked if the M didnt offer them.

What are these off the strip books like? And are there any websites for them or sites that review them online? It sounds like the M is your place though huh?

The off strip books dwarf anything on the strip. They are very liberal with drink tickets....Most dont even ask for a drink ticket. Just make sure you tip well and they will never let you go dry. They also have better TV's and big screens throughout the place. Not those blurry old screens you see at Ceasars and Belliago. Just a friendly staff and comfortable scene.

Man, I am never going to another on the strip book...Yeah when I was there they all seemed the same and all had busted tv. Was not very impressed...Hitting these offstrip books next time I am there.

Any online directory you know about that reviews / provides information about these off strip casinos?

Each sportsbook is different with their limits.  If you are talking big money, like over $50,000 for a bet, you need to have a special relationship with the book for them to take that wager.

No, all sportsbooks do not offer 1st and 2nd half lines.  Some of the books are very stingy here with putting out lots of lines.  The best books are at the Hilton, South Point and M Resort.  Limits differ at each book.

I must admit I don't know a lot about strip clubs because I never go to them.  I hear that Spearmint Rhino and the Bada Bing are good though.

You will find 1st half lines at the Hilton but I am not sure if they are money lines.  I know they offer 1st half spreads though.

Flamingo is pretty old and therefore pretty run-down.  They do a decent job of keeping it up the best they can but when you go into the newer places it really pales in comparison.  Don't know about the rooms because I have never been in one but the sportsbook and poker room there are not great.  There are much better options within walking distance.  Especially for poker.

Most books will only put 1st and 2nd half lines out for the bigger games.  I wouldn't bother taking a cab down to the Southpoint or M Resort as the other guy suggested because that will cost a bit.  Those places are quite far from the strip.  Cabs aren't cheap here.  Your best bet would be to take a cab to the Hilton which offers the most betting options out of all the books and it's not nearly as far as the other two places so you'll save money.

el cortez, and palms are satillete books for the south pointe as is cannery and mesquite,  south pointe has become my book of choice with the M as they offer more than most.

I am staying at bellagio for my first trip come the 18th, should I be making my sports bets at their book or is there a better place to go? I only bet $50-$200 a play.

Do you have line skipping abilities/friends at any of the top nightclubs?

Yeah Mickey is doing a much better job than the original poster.




I would disagree with the strip club. Rhino has the best talent no question but you get more bang for the buck at Olympic Garden. Just be patient for the hot ones to come thru and for $20 it's as much hands on as you want.

Flamingo's book and lines do suck. Beverage service at the book sucks. Poker room is ok. About 15 tables with a mixed crowd of mostly tourists. Clean with a few HD tv's with sports on.
