    Another vote for the Mirage. I always end up giving away extra drink tickets and leaving the place hammered. Lagasse's stadium and the Wynn are two other great ones.

      Do all these sportsbooks show a variety of sports? Or mainly american sports?

      We're hunting for somewhere open late that might show Rugby Union and/ or Rugby League games in the early hours of the morning your time.

      Somewhere close to the Palazzo for Thursday though Saturday and Close to Planet Hollywood from Sunday till wed is good.

      Mainly asking out of curiosity, the only game we really care about and are actually going to make sure to watch is the State of Origin (Rugby League) on about 1/2am Tuesday morning Vegas time.
      Previous trip: June 30 - July 7, 2011. Stayed at the Palazzo & PH Towers.
      Returning: Oct 31 - Nov 2, 2014.

          Aboid TI

          Avoid TI like the plague.

          The New York used to have a seperate room for NFL games, but I think they've done away with that.

            Looking forward to Lagasse, I've always liked the energy at Caesars.

                Heading into town next month staying at the HRH, has anyone been to their new remodeled sportsbook?
                HRH is pretty week compared to every other SB I've been to in Vegas (MGM, Legasse's, Mirage, even Monte Carlo). I was there Labor Day Weekend, the start of college football season and every single time I sat down for a game it was pretty dead not to mention the fact that you never see a cocktail waitress serving drinks and they don't give free drink tickets no matter how much you wager.

                  While the HRH's remodeled SportsBook, operated by Cantor, looks fabulous... I agree it's not the most "homey" place to watch games.

                  However... they just opened-up two VERY nice sports lounges, which I'd put on par with anything in Vegas. One is where the old poker area used to be across from Pink Taco... tons of very large flat screens and lots of comfortable seating areas. The other, now called "Blitzed" is where the old sports book used to be across from the Hard Rock Store. Again, very high-end TVs and extremely comfortable seating arrangements.

                    strongly recommend aria as well, layout is a bit diff than the other books but very comfy seating all around, great tvs, solid atmosphere, and drink tickets and waitresses on constant rotation for those of you who prioritize that. aria is def in my top 3. also, while i don't love the seating at hrh, it's nice having a book where smoking isn't allowed, the screens are the best in vegas, and the personal tvs at each booth and computerized betting accounts are very nice additions for those of us who do a lot of wagering. oh, and for those who like me follow epl and wana know where to go to catch those super early games, go to las vegas hilton or mgm grand.

                        How early do you need to get there on Sunday for the NFL games?

                        For Aria, can you request a viewing area? I seem to recall several small side "booths" as you walk in. Is there a minimum?

                          Lagasse's sounds amazing. Are there tickets or reservations? How does it work?

                            i just called the place and made a reservation for sunday morning. sounds like they will hold it for 15mins and you have to pay something like 50 a person for food for each set of games, morning, afternoon. here is the number i called 702.607.2665

                                Bump

                                Wondering if anything has changed in terms of spots opening/closing

                                Looking for the best place to watch the NBA playoffs next weekend. Doesn't have to be a sports book, could be anywhere good to catch a game.

                                We're going to be staying at Cosmo and their sports book is a little too small for my taste

                                Right now I'm thinking of Lagasse's but wanted some other options that didn't require min spend to have somewhere to sit down
                                2016 (past) - none
