Wynn Las Vegas Race and Sports Book

Here for the week and so far so good !! Love this hotel. It’s has so many cute shops. A beautiful chanel store … And so much more …

The worst service and nachos I have ever had. You couldn’t try harder to make worse nachos. Cheese whiz, stale chips, no jalapeños, cold chicken. Service was equally as bad as it was slow, curt and with an attitude. Too bad we couldn’t get into The Stadium at the Palazzo. Won’t be back here for an event.

Worst sportsbook to casino/​hotel ration imaginable. Here’s what I mean: the hotel and the casnio are top notch and I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Vegas. However, the sportsbook is the worst.
In the sportsbook they have low limits, they have poor drink service, they prefer to keep horse racing on the main TVs over basketball (during final 4), football (on weekends during the fall) and really any major sporting event.
If you want to make a larger wager on a game or a second half side/​total (meaning a few thousand or higher) you can’t do it here without supervisor approval, and to add insult to injury, if you do get approval, you have to watch the game on a 32″ TV from 1998 since the big screens in the center of the sportsbook are reserved for horse racing 24÷7÷365.
When I stay at the Wynn (every other month or so), I always walk across the street to Palazzo and place sports wagers there. I watch in the Lagasse stadium and it is really only a short walk from the tables at the Wynn so it works out great.
I have spoken with a couple of manger types at the Wynn sportsbook about these issues on my last 2 trips and I have been treated miserably. I will never place a wager in that sportsbook again, but I will stay at the hotel and play in the casino every 6 – 8 weeks like I have been doing for a couple of years now. It’s too bad Steve (Wynn) can’t get the sportsbook up to the same standard as the rest of his property.

Omfg this is probably one of the most dated sportsbooks on the Strip, and hilariously it is at the Wynn (a five diamond resort).
I came here to bet and watch baseball. You have to bring your own headphones if you decide to watch the game on a personal TV stuck in the late 90’s. There’s no drink service that i’m aware of, and very poor air circulation.
The TV is ultimately what killed it. You have to manually scroll through channels to get the event you want, by pressing a button on the side. The lag is incredible. Also, in addition, the TV I was using had ghost lines on the screen. I moved stations and the next TV could not find the channel (No Signal).
I don’t care about personal TVs, but don’t offer them if they’re poor quality. You’re the Wynn after all. Stop being cheap.

Pretty much the worst sports book I have been to on the Strip. 1) People taking your bet act like they are not getting paid to do a job. They are extremely grumpy and rude. 2) We were there on Independence Day to bet on the World Cup games (France vs. Germany… tons of europeans there wanting to bet on the game… hello, why lose out on all that business?). They only had one station for betting open at the time and there was a line of approximately 50 people waiting hoping to bet in time for the game to start. We called and complained to the manager and then talked to him in person. He said he didn’t expect there to be so many people. Ummm… it is a holiday weekend with the biggest sports event in the world. If you do not know about this, then you should not be managing the sports book. 3) The cocktail waitresses won’t get you a drink unless you have a drink ticket. You get 1 ticket per $ 200 bet. That is just ridiculous. If you want to pay for a drink and have a waitress brink it to you, that should be an option. The waitresses are losing out on tips. That is a stupid policy. Also, I can see not giving comped drinks to people who aren’t betting, but I was. Yes, it was only $ 100 but that ahould be enough for one comped drink or at least the option to have a cocktail waitress serve you.

KENTUCKY DERBY FUTURE BETS
I tend to find the slot machines at the Wynn and Encore fairly tight. I was trying to find other ways to make money. I went to the sports book facility in February to place a future bet on the Kentucky Derby. The bet I made in February was Commissioner at odds of 28 – 1. When I went to Vegas again last March I placed a win bet on Honor Code, considered the early winter book favorite of the Kentucky Derby, at odds of 14 – 1. Why those two horses? I’m a big horse racing fan and one of my favorite horses is AP Indy, a champion racehorse and stallion that ran at Bay Meadows. These two horses are from his final racing crop. Unfortunately racing luck didn’t play out for me. Honor Code was eventually ruled out of the Derby because of an injury. Commissioner, a closer, didn’t win in his last three races and appears not to qualify for the Kentucky Derby. If either of them ran in the Kentucky Derby I would have given a higher rating. Call me a sore loser. LOL
Overall this facility has a classic ambiance with its amber colored décor. The facility is separated from the casino. This gives a relaxing atmosphere to place a wager. In addition you don’t get the rough crowd at other places.
Will I come here again? Perhaps. I might come here to place a small wager on this year’s FIFA World Cup. If I win a wager here I’ll definitely give a higher rating on my updated review. In «Jerry Maguire» there’s that famous quote «Show me the money!»

This is a beautiful hotel, but truthfully i have no reason to come here when in vegas. There are no restaurants that piqué my interest nor does the gambling. Its the last of the major hotels on the strip and would only visit when coming back from my asian fix on Spring mtn.

Out of all the sports book I checked out this one seemed to be the classiest. The downside like many reviews say is that you have to spend around $ 200 – 300 to get a friggin drink ticket. Its not a big deal but I still think thats absurd (keeps the broke ones away?) I had a great time during the Panther Vs 49ers game and won a nice lil sum of money in that also.
The employees are nice, just wish they had more cocktail waitresses as it can take a few minutes to get your order in.

The sports book is open and friendly. Love the bar at the entrance and the service was
Great, even though it was packed for the
NFL.

This is a very nice race and sports book. Of course it would be, it is in the Wynn. Everything here is a five star experience. It is not as busy as the Redrock, but I prefer the Redrock if I am going to hang out and watch the games. I like coming here because for some reason, the NFL money lines are usually better here if you take the dogs.

When I was in Vegas this is the sports book that caught my eye.
There’s tons of HD TVs here and pretty comfortable seating.
Seems to be the newest fanciest looking sports book I seen on the strip.
When I go back to Vegas this is the first sports book I’ll be hitting.

I’m a huge fan of this sports book, and it’s my favorite out of all the ones I’ve been to in Vegas (Aria, Mandalay Bay, Venetian/​Palazzo, MGM Grand, Hilton, Mirage, and The Cosmopolitan). I hear the one at the M is also top of the line (and also where many pros hang out), but I haven’t had a chance to check it out just yet.
Positives:
— Tons of HD TVs and two huge screens (one that shows the main events and the other that shows horse racing)
— Comfortable seating — There are many seats where you will have your own screen with access to all the sports channels and horse races. During busy days such as college football Saturdays and NFL Sundays, most of the seats are reserved. If you are staying at the hotel, just let them now you want a spot reserved at the sports book, and they will set you up.
— Great betting odds — I spent about three weeks in Vegas recently and the odds were favorable compared to MGM and many others.
— Overall comfort — It’s at the Wynn… what else is there to say?
— The Cocktail Waitresses (not that it matters if you are with your wife or girlfriend…) — Very friendly and gorgeous. They are always attentive, even during busy days.
Negatives:
— The main reason I don’t want to give 5 stars is because of the drink ticket situation. These guys are cheap asses. I’ve heard that you need to bet $ 200-​$ 300 for just one drink ticket, but I don’t know what the answer is. I never got a drink ticket for betting under $ 200, but there were times I would bet $ 500-​$ 600 and I wouldn’t get anything. Maybe I should have asked, but if I place a decent bet, I shouldn’t have to ask for a drink ticket.
After I cashed out a few grand one time, I was tempted to tell the manager that I could now buy hundreds of his drink tickets and he should stick them up his ass. But of course I didn’t because I didn’t have the balls to, and besides this complaint, the workers and managers are actually really friendly…
Overall, if you are looking for a great place to hang out, drink, and watch/​bet on sports, the Wynn sports book is one of the best places to head to.

If you are leaving your casino to go to a sports book then this is the only one worth driving to. Good size, they have the best odds, and they have the most future bets.
Also it is in the freaking Wynn.

Spent two days at the Sportsbook last weekend. I was a huge fan of the fact that a staff member helped hotel guests get and reserve seats for hotel guests that got there really early. Great job and good customer service!
Love that you can order food at the adjacent café during the games!
The reason for only four stars: 1. You have to spend 300 dollars in wagers to get one drink coupon. That is really ridiculous when you can get FREE drinks at the Bellagio Sportsbook. A more reasonable wagering price would be more reasonable. 2. The lines to place a wager during college and NFL games can extend into the casino. Why not hire more staff?

So, it is a little small and there are not enough seats. Very true!
The pony betters are a little too close and I wish they were in another area. However, this place does have a lot of unique betting chances available and can have lines that are very different from the rest of the city.
The chairs are comfy if you can one I do wish it had better tv’s though.

This place was great for the Wildcard NFL Sunday! So many t.v.‘s and seating areas.
However the waitresses are hit or miss.

One of the worst sportsbooks in Vegas. I judge sportsbooks by the amount of seats & TVs & frankly, the Wynn has little of both. This sportsbooks has a million seats for those interested in horse races… but for the rest of America you have to fight for like 20 seats. LAME. I ended up standing in the back to watch some games. If you staying at Wynn, then you have no choice… but if you are wandered like myself I’d make my way somewhere else.

Unfortunately this is a terrible sportsbook for those that are actually betting (apparently from reading the other reviews it seems people don’t really know much about it?). They take the most juice and have the worst lines I’ve ever encountered in Vegas (hmm, does +105/​-​200 seem fair to anyone?). Make the walk down the strip to Caesar’s or a MGM casino if you’re actually placing any bets. If you read
or any of the other sports betting websites, they’ll tell you the same thing I’m saying — stay far far away from the Wynn. The pros know!

So mixed. Great seats, arrangement, TVs, food was even good!
But this is where the worst waitresses in the hotel are. I had about six beers in two hours, and the fastest I was served was 30 minutes. 30 minutes for a beer! We ordered chicken strips and fries, which took over an hour. They lost the order when we inquired for the third or fourth time where our food was. The waitress was very apologetic, but still… these things just added up. Then I made it halfway back to the room before I realized she never gave me back my credit card.
However, the beer was cold, the food was good, the atmosphere (aside from the smoke) was definitely good, the crowd was into the game.
Just «eh».

The sports book itself is wondeful, huge comfy chairs and great TV’s and graphics, but the bet-​takers seemed annoyed I was there to interrupt their personal conversation and they were snarky when I asked some simple questions. Result, one little bet, took my other wagers to Caesars.
Amazing how you can spend millions and create a wondeful space and have it ruined by snotty indifferent t help.
