Known as the lvh or las vegas hotel now.
Always liked their sportsbook.
Off the strip though

Wynn is tremendous. A little small in size vs others, but a great book.

Venetian is very good.

MGM has great energy, and the deli next to the book is amazing.

I like the Bellagio, because you can play poker while looking at the sportsbook. But I found the Mandalay Bay to have alot of space. Last time I was at Caesars Palace I hated the sportsbook because they allowed smoking and a few minutes in that crap will give you lung cancer

Staying at Venetian. Haven't been to Wynn yet. Maybe try that as well. Thanks.

Wynn is awesome. So comfortable and the cafe adjacent to it is really good. Venetian looks nice since Cantor took it over, but nothing matches Wynn from top to bottom.

The Wynn is probably the best technically, but I am more comfortable at the Venetian. I have just been treated nicely there the last two years I went for the Breeders Cup. Also the Asian place right on the corner of the sportsbook is a much better option than the deli appended to the Wynn sportsbook. As an aside, the Venetian poker room has a lot more action than the Wynn.

If you want to play horsey futures, however, you have to visit the Wynn (also any William Hill outlet).

I remember Caesars Palace being pretty nice also. Many screens and roomy. High ceilings, so smoke should not be an issue.

Smoke is definitely an issue.

Avoid the Venetian. LV Hilton and MGM Grand are pretty good

Venetian is just too busy for me. I stayed at Mandalay Bay late last year and really liked it.

Wynn is obviously spectacular, but so are the prices.

Me too. The LVH itself can't really be compared to the Venetian or Mandalay or the Wynn as far as overall amenities go, but the book is excellent. The sandwich place within the book is more than decent. Plenty of windows and seating and horseplayers are welcomed.

Why should he avoid the Venetian? Curious?

Legasse Stadium at Venetian is God's gift to a sports fan.

Maybe to watch a game and drink a few, but not at all what I'm looking for when paying the races.

I hear Bellaggio has a nice sports book too. A guy I know plays the ponies from there on his trips to Vegas and he loves it.
