Best sportsbook in Vegas to watch football

[Lorshas Hubby]

Opinions please?

We have only been to the Wynn sportsbook so far, and that is where we'll be watching the Giants-Cowboys game on Sunday. Lorsha whipped up this little outfit to wear to the Giant games.

I always liked the Venetian, never been to the Wynn. I thin most of the top hotels would likely be a good spot to go. Giants should easily kick the Cowboys on Sunday.

Gotta disagree there, I am definitely not a a Cowboys fan, but I took them this week because I think they'll be the more motivated of the two. An intangible for sure, I also like Green Bay, which is an even longer shot, for the same reasons.

Palms..
but from where you live. I'd go either to RedRock Station or Sun Coast. Get a players card -- the "locals" places pay better and give better rewards than the strip ones. + not as far to drive.

Not true. Green Bay is a 2.5 pt underdog while Dallas is 8.5-9pt underdog depending on where you look. Green Bay could win yes but a Dallas win would be a huge upset considering the way Johnson's been playing.

I could never get into a game with all those people around annoying me as well as the bells & whistles of the casino floor distracting me

I've watched games at The Venetian & they have many HD TV's now, so I guess it was ok. But the only time I watched a game that I cared about was in 2000 when Murray & I got up at 9:30 to watch The Miracle Throwback Bills/Titans game (and I still say that was a forward pass)

Spread seems a bit high for this matchup. It seems in previous years, when favored by this much, especially at home, the Giants love to lay an egg.

Motivation is one thing, but that may quickly die out after the first series!

We really don't mind driving that far. We are still the Vegas noobs, so anything and everything seems exciting to us. We lived in the sticks of Upstate NY for over 10 years, and only left the state once.

I would not be surprised if we end up feeling the same way by the way you describe it. We shall see.
