In that time, a lot has changed, and a lot has stayed the same.\n\nFirst off: it's easily one of the largest sports books in Vegas, with loads of seating, TVs and board space with betting propositions. The space is the primary reason we've been loyal.\n\nThey did update the projector a couple years ago to a brighter, HD picture, which is nice.\n\nHowever, relative to some of the mega-sharp and ultra-bright options elsewhere on the Strip, the A/V here is pretty geriatric. \n\nAt least on our weekend, you now either bet a LOAD (hundreds-plus) of money for each proposition for a drink voucher or two, or you pay cash or credit for your drinks. And yes, Vegas pricing applies: think minimum of $10 per drink.\n\nThe ceiling is high, which helps smoke waft upward and onward, however sometimes the pure quantity of smokers outweighs the height and/or any system employed to move the smoke along. \n\nRelated side note (with semi-pre-apology to smokers): Too many people here are NOT heeding the Surgeon General's (and every other of the trillion-or-so published medical mind's) warnings to go ahead and quit the single-worst, nastiest habit ever known to man. Where is the upside to hacking up an emphysema-ridden lung the last third of your life? Just because you CAN smoke inside here doesn't mean you should. There's a door to the great outdoors about a two minute walk away from the book. The weather's lovely outside - go check it out.\n\nRant aside, for what it is, this sports book averages out great space with a low-tech approach for a down-the-middle overall rating. A few more comped drinks for paying customers would go a long way toward helping the less-attractive A/V look much better (wink wink)!!"^^ .
