Im going to Vegas a week from this Saturday and have been there more times than I can count, but wanted to know what you think is the best Sports Book to watch Football at. I will be staying at MGM and know the SB is good there and I did like the one at Mandalay Bay last year but looking for other suggestions. I will also be playing Poker while there, so what rooms are the best?

Lagasse's Stadium at The Palazzo - You'll fn love this place.
Aria - you'll love the poker room and you never know what big name pro will be there.
Las Vegas Hotel formerly LV Hilton
Tropicana - No poker room but a well run sportsbook by Cantor and right across the bridge from MGM and down the escalator and bang you are there1

Never really checked out the Palazzo, might have to do that. I'm going to check out the Aria as we are going to a show there one night. Thanks for the info Freak.

Played a few Poker Tournaments both $80 buy in with over 30 players paying top 5 first place $1000 down to $170 for 5th. First one finished 10th lost with pocket 10's against A K good old river card was a K. The second one really pissed me off as I finished 7th. I had a good read on the table and only 2 other players were on there game. I get A J suited in early possition and raise 4 times the big blind of $800 a bet of $3500 leaving me with $3100 left in chips. Everyone folds to the big blind and this old FUCKEN bitch who was lucky to be at the table looks at her cards 3 different times and then says she is all in. She had me covered by $300 and I knew that she didn't have a good hand so I called all in. So I have A J suited hearts against J 9 off. I can't believe that she pushed with this hand as going into the flop I'm way ahead. Well then comes the flop K J 9, my first words are, what a lucky FUCKEN donkey you are. Turn card was a 2 and then the river card comes a 9. As I get up I say are you FUCKEN kidding me, you must have a horse shoe up you Ass to just do what you did. One of the other good players comment was, I guess it's better to be lucky than good. The rest of the trip played table games. In total left about $300 there that includes every thing. I did get a free comp to the Buffet at MGM for dinner and good thing I did as it was $34.99 a person for a total of $72. It was good though, it had prime rib, pork roast, and crab legs plus a lot more. Weather was in the 80s every day, very nice and we went and seen 2 shows. Seen Zarkana at Aria for half price tickets and seen K A at MGM for free, both very good shows. Went to Freemont down town on Saturday night and they had all kinds of Halloween stuff going on that night with free concerts. Was a good time and good trip. Football was good and played a few parlay cards before I left so if one of them hit, I have a reason to go back soon. Two of the parlays are 12 teamers paying $2800 for the teaser card and $6000 for the regular card. Well that's it for now until my next trip in March for March Madness unless one of these hit then it will be sooner.

Brutal beats for the poker tournaments, but you know as well as I do, that it always seems to be the donks that have no clue that do you in. Surprising to hear another player chime in and especially with one of the oldest dumbest sayings. That tells me that they weren't likely as good as you thought because no rational good player says that.

They would feel your pain from being there and say something to the extent of brutal beat, I feel for ya man. Not that BS answer. I hate MFR's like that.

MGM is a great place, when I am in Vegas that is my home away from home. Let me know if you have a host, if not, I'll get you well taken care of. The buffets there are well worth the money, expensive but.... think of what you ate or at least saw there. They lose money on the food aspect of things but more than enough make up for it elsewhere.

I've never seen K A, what was it about? What is Zarkana?

I hope your tickets hit, post your tickets so I can root you on.

Dropping $300 and having parlay cards in play and everything else you did, not bad at all. Look at it as treating 9 people to the buffet.

The $2800 is out, lost 2 teams alread. The $6000 i still have going for $150 now as it pays 11 out of 12. Your not going to believe the game that gave me a loss on Saturday. I had Missouri -2.5, blow a 17 point 4th quarter lead and then miss that FG at the end of OT 2 wow. I have 3 teams left, Dallas +3.5, Philly -5.5, and KC -7.5 for 11 out of 12 for $150 now. To think 12 out of 12 pays $3000 to 1 and 11 out of 12 pays $75 to 1, I guess it is only $2 at risk, but to think 1 game like that going to cost me nice pay out. Oh well, I will take the $150 if the 3 Pro games hit. I also have another parlay going for $450 but have 5 games left ( Dallas, phily, KC, pit, and Sea ).

That Missouri game was a total collapse. They tried to nurse the lead rather than stay aggressive. It didn't help that they missed a FG that would've put em up 20-0.

That 4th down and 15 in the first OT was killer. When I saw that play develop and they hit it, I said MO is losing this.

As for the parlays, Vegas thanks you have they been doing pretty much everyone this year in the NFL.

Let me know if you need a host, you can e-mail me and I'll take care of the rest.

Yes, I could have used a host. It's always nice to know someone there when you go. Next time I go, let me know who you know as a host I'll take anything that they can help out with.
