I loved gambling before a big game, then watching till halftime, before hitting a blackjack table for 20 minutes and then returning to the game. Then I’d spend the rest of the night gambling. The whole time my wife was at the slots.

A wonder how they have been losing millions a quarter. At lest they put some of the video poker machines back.

Back in September, both Circa and Cosmo wanted me to pay for a seat in their sportsbook. I walked to a nearby bar area and just watched there. Plus, I wasn’t tempted to place more bets while I watched.

It’s harder to navigate, harder to find specific machines, and actually reduces the amount of machines that fit in a given area. If they’re still going to be showing a bunch of sporting events in this area, why not organize the machines in rows that FACE the TV’s!? Then they can gamble while watching the game, and they can fit more of them in there…

but i’ll try to find a small book with horses.

I don’t see a lot of phone booths in vegas these days either. Still, I think the NGC requires all casinos to have things that lose money. It’s the law.

I am wondering if they had anything to do with the disappearance of another amenity, the shoeshine stands? I miss those more than the sportsbooks. Surely not.

No poker, no Sportsbook, no great happy hour at bird bar, no buffet,..it’s a shiny Econlodge with a Margaritaville now.
