Encore at the Wynn Racebook
Well if you want to get treated like the bottom of the casino barrel this is the place to go. You have to ask for drink tickets then you have to ask security to send a waitress around. Fancy hotel and I'd recommend I t to my best enemy if I wanted to treat him like shot.

Westgate is the place to go if you are there for racing and sports.

It is the old Hilton I believe, off the strip a bit on Paradise. It is at the end of the monorail so easy to get to if you stay somewhere else.

Las Vegas isn't what it was 20 years ago, they charge for EVERYTHING. Face it casinos are on every corner across the States.

I still have a blast going there but your right, I go there for expensive shows and dinners and not really the gambling.
It is very expensive now.

Yeah, I was there for a seminar and didn't get to play the horses much. The beers are $9 each of you don't have a drink ticket.

When you come to Las Vegas you can't get treated any better then you get treated at any Stations Casino property.
This local casino company that has casinos all over the Las Vegas valley still respects the customer and is not in business to rob their customers.
Stations does not charge for parking or make horse players get drink tickets at any of their locations also Stations has the very best rewards program for their customers.

truthfully, there is no reason for me to go to Nevada to bet on horses or sports. the money that you bet on horses goes right back to the track and whatever rebate they give you these days is nowhere near what you can get from an adw.
as far as sports go, if you are a dope and bet bad numbers those books will let you bet whatever you want. if you only play good numbers they won't take anything from you that is worthwhile to go there for unless you are betting on a Superbowl game or other championship event. the place has changed through the years.
if i ever go back to Las Vegas it would be to see a show or other event, play in a golf tournament or be there for a convention. i will pay the airfare, the room, the food and tip the bell hop and stay out of the casino. Las Vegas doesn't need me and i don't need them.
STAY HOME

Horses by day...poker and sports-betting by night...and the best food that you could ask for...all in the lap of luxury. What more can a gambler ask for? After a lifetime of betting horses in dingy OTBs, and playing poker in restaurant backrooms...this is as close to paradise as I can possibly get.

Fly in with my wife and stay at Caesars Palace, have dinner and see a show or two. You are right and if we are worried about the cost and need free drinks we are in the wrong place.
