BeantownJim just stepped into the Bad Man Contest like he walked straight out of Southie with a Dunkin cup in one hand and a chip on his shoulder the size of Fenway’s left field wall. He’s not easing in, he’s kicking the door open and calling out every forum member still sitting on the sidelines like they’re tourists lost on the Green Line. He’s looking around the thread like he’s surrounded by people who talk tough but fold faster than a cheap lawn chair the second it’s time to actually enter. He’s roasting the non‑entrants with that Boston bite, wondering how a bunch of self‑proclaimed sharps can’t even enter while he’s already in and ready to swing. He’s calling out the ones acting like the entry fee is some life changing decision, telling them to stop clutching their wallets like they’re guarding the last dollar in Quincy. He’s dragging the holdouts into the spotlight, pointing at them like they’re standing on the wrong side of a Sox‑Yankees rivalry, asking how they manage to chirp all year but turn into quiet little commuters when the contest opens. BeantownJim didn’t enter to be polite, he entered to make every non‑entrant feel the sting of getting outworked, out‑muscled, and out‑hearted by a guy who came in swinging with full Boston energy, ready to flatten anyone still too timid to step into the contest. ....

Just a quick observation. It is incredible how quickly Circa has taken over from Westgate as "the" place in Vegas. Yesterday afternoon at Westgate it was possible to get a seat at any time during the day. In the old days it was stand by the rail if you are not there early. Crowded yes but not packed.

One advantage to being downtown is that you can hit multiple sportsbooks pretty quickly if you don't play on the apps.

Since NFL is more popular for betting I am curious how Westgate will look today. I still prefer the old Stardust but sadly no longer an option.

Contest wise I would agree, Circa has throttled Westgate. Westgate got greedy with the 8% take out.

Outside of the sportsbook, there really isn't anything special there. The vibe there is gone.


A post a day and your access will stay!

Despite the efforts to clean it up the Westgate is by and large a dump. Aside from the sportsbook I would never visit. The rooms are old and dated plus the elevators sound like they are on their last leg. I have eaten at every restaurant (even Benihana) and found nothing over the top except maybe the pot stickers at the Asian place. The live band they added up front seems nice and does seem to bring people in. If you go in with your wife or girlfriend expect to be hounded to sit through a timeshare presentation.

Now I still find the sportsbook great. To me it is an easier visit than dealing with the crowd at Circa. Find an open seat an you are good. Drink tickets are plentiful and they got rid of the 2 old lady cocktail servers that would primarily service their regulars.
