I'm not an expert or anything of the like, but last time out, due to come business committements, I stayed at The Venetian.
I was all set to visit some other race/sports books, and ultimately did, but I really enjoyed the race/sports book at the Venetian. Good size (relatively speaking), they treated me well, very good service, etc. They had plenty of big screens, nice private cubicles where you could watch multiple races -- just a nice set up. Enjoy.

As Far As I Am Concerned, Vegas Sucks For Playing Horses. I Am Used To Using The Machines To Punch In My Own Bets And Vegas Has None! If Anyone Knows Who Has Them Let Me Know.

we're staying at Barbary Coast in april. we've played in gold coast and rio were comfortable.
harrah's is small but not bad, they even serve food. barbary coast looked interesting last year. the day we were there, a group of old dudes were playing that looked pretty hardcore.

And when betting in a sports book with a live ticket seller, DOUBLE CHECK and TRIPLE CHECK your tickets! We've had this conversation either on this board, or the old ESPN board before, but ticket mistakes are MUCH more prevalent when betting at a casino. In defense of the casino workers, they are taking money on lots of different sporting events, and aren't always focused and attentive on the horses. I'm an experienced and veteran player and just last year I threw down a quick $20 for fun, thought I had the winner, and then realized the ticket in my hand was on the wrong race or track. That was at Hardrock, for the record. And if you are accustomed to "calling" your plays a certain way just plan on having to do a little more explaining to get the right ticket. Personally, if I'm in a casino I'd rather spend my time playing blackjack. The only time I wander into the race book is to take a break and make some fun little win and place bets just to have some easy action. Or, if I've about reached my loss limit at blackjack and just want to stretch time and still have fun.

For My Money. The Best Place To Bet Horses Is The Del Mar Raceplace In San Diego. This Satellite Has It All. Tons Of Machines To Make Your Bets, Lots Of Tv Screens, Etc. I Am Spoiled After This Place. Had To Move To Illinois And Cant Wait To Get Back There!

I Dont Think Vegas Has Caught Up With California Technology At All Yet. They Dont Have Any Machines, Anywhere!!! I Have Never Hit A Bet When Placing With A Teller. Just A Bad Omen For Me.
