I have been going to race books for awhile in vegas, started going to churcill and the rose bowl. (that was before casinos had race books) The 1st race book I remember was at the stardust. Recently I have been to the race books at the orleans, gold coast, south point and red rock. Orleans and gold coast are similar , both have individual screens, charge $3 for a form which you get back when you return it and have drink coupons which you have to ask the teller for. I was there this year in the fall and wanted to play some .20 pk4s at WO. The teller told me they dont take those bets and other low minimum bets. He seemed happy that he doesnt have to be bothered with those bets until I told him hand held devices and machines will be very accommodating for taking all bets there.
Red Rock is very nice and cleaner than orleans and gold coast but is far away. South Point dont have dividers between places where you sit but do have individual screens. The drink service was very good and didnt have the drink coupon system, which to me is degrading. I had a form when I went to these books so I dont know their policy on this.
As you have noticed I stay away from the strip at all costs.
