Evaluating Strip Sportsbooks
The traditional mega-sportsbook is evolving as mobile betting apps capture a larger share of the handle. However, the physical sportsbook remains a crucial amenity for NFL Sundays and March Madness.
The Drink Ticket Economy
Gone are the days of free drinks just for sitting in the book. Today, getting a drink ticket requires a minimum wager. At most MGM and Caesars properties, expect to wager at least $50 (often $100+) on sports, or $20 on horse racing, to receive one drink voucher.
Circa (Downtown) and Westgate remain the gold standards for the traditional, massive screen, dedicated sportsbook experience.
