Las Vegas Sportsbook Comparison
Introduction
I last did a major update of this page on May 29, 2025. Please be advised that which casino used which sports book changes all the time. I try to keep on top of it in my sports book family page.
In this update I show some basic rules and statistics for most of the sports book groups. Since starting this page in 2004, I find there is much more parity now. In other words, the difference in value from one book to another is not so much. I also noticed the days of many bets being -110 both ways are gone with lines usually evenly divisible by 5. Today sports betting is much more flued with lines movements as little as 1 point all the times. Most places no longer have a special table for parlay odds because so few bets pay -110 any longer. Instead, they do the same calculation as for any line.
Boyd
Boyd Gaming owns several casinos in Las Vegas. Their sports books are called "Boyd Sports." The books at the casinos that tend to cater to locals, namely the Suncoast, Gold Coast and Orleans have lots of seats and screens. Their properties downtown are more small and dated. To make things confusing, their Fremont property downtown has a lot of signage for Fan Duel, who I understand have been trying to get a license in Nevada for at least three years. For now, the Fremont still is associated with Boyd Sports.

Caesars
Caesars has several properties on the Las Vegas Strip. Most of them are rather small and basic places to make a bet. However, the sportsbook at Caesars Palace is enormous and impressive.

Circa
The Circa is an incredible sports book. When Derek Stevens built the Circa he spared no expense on it. Advertising claims it is the largest sports book in the world. The video screens are enormous and there is lots of stadium style seating to watch them. You can also find the same lines at sister properties D and Golden Gate.
For big games other than MLB, the money lines may be less than 20 cents. For example in the NHL playoffs I noticed a pairing of +110/-122.
- Futures: house edge 19.07%

- Obscure proposition bets: 30-cent lines
- Expiration policy: 365 days
Fontainebleau
I have been in the Fontainebleau sports book only once when doing research for this page. It seems a bit small compared to the enormity of the casino where it resides, but what was there looked modern and comfortable.
- Futures: 27.53% house edge
- Over/under season wins: 20-cent lines
- MLB money lines: 10-cent lines. Pairings: EV/-110, +119/-133, +136/-154, +146/-165, +150/-170, +186/-216
- Money lines (except MLB): 20-cent lines up to at least +140/-160. Other pairings: +175/-200, +260/-320
- Expiration policy: ? (Sorry, I forgot to ask)
Golden Nugget
I like the Golden Nugget sports book and respect them for staying independent. The sportsbook itself is not that big and retains an old-school look. I have often found good bets and good value there.
- Futures: 19.27% house edge
- MLB money lines: Pairings:
- Money lines (except MLB): 20-cent lines. Other pairings: +125/-145, +250/-300 +290/-360, +310/-380
- Season wins: 22-cent lines
- Expiration policy: 365 days
MGM
BetMGM sports books are found at the several MGM properties on the Las Vegas strip. The range in quality and size, with the best being at the Bellagio, in my opinion. Be warned they tend to not offer very good value compared to their competitors. However, I have found they get a lot of square action, which creates value for the sharp bettor.
- Futures: 25.02% house edge
- MLB money lines: 20-cent lines. Pairings: +115/-135, +170/-200, +200/-250, +280/-350
- Money lines (except MLB): 20-cent lines. Other pairings: +105/-125, +125/-150, +165/-200, +260/-350,
- Expiration policy: 365 days
Resorts World
I have been in this sports book once only for this review. It's rather small compared to the size of the casino. I'm sure it's fine for making a bet, but not the best for watching a game in comfort.
- Futures: 29.39% house edge
- MLB money lines: 10-cent lines. Pairings: +110/-120, +130/-145, +180/-210, +210/-250, +290/-360
- Money lines (except MLB): 20-cent lines Other pairings: +150/-170, +170/-200, +200/-240, +300/-370, +1800/-4000
- Expiration policy: 365 days
South Point
The South Point has an impressive book, which I respect for remaining independent. The Rampart and Cannery casinos also follow South Point lines, where I have been many times, mainly due to geographic convenience.
- Futures: 25.14% house edge
- MLB money lines: 15-cent lines. Pairings: EV/-115, +180/-200, +200/-240
- Money lines (except MLB): 20-cent lines. Other pairings: +150/-170, +180/-2120, +200/-240, +290/-350, +550/-800
- Parlay odds (for 2 to 8 teams): 2.6, 6, 11, 22, 40, 75, 150
- 6-point NFL teasers (for 2 to 8 teams): -125, +140, +240, +400, +550, +800, +1000
- Expiration policy: 365 days
Station Casinos
Station casinos runs very nice books that offer decent value. I have been at their location at the Red Rock many times. Besides Station own casinos, the Treasure Island and El Cortez also follow Station Casino lines.
- Futures: ? house edge
- MLB money lines: 10-cent lines. Pairings: -102/-108, +160/-185, +190/-220, +230/-275, +245/-300
- Money lines (except MLB): 20-cent lines. Pairings: +150/-170, +165/-185, +210/-250, +415/-525
- Expiration policy: 365 days
Westgate
The Westgate sportsbook is legendary in Las Vegas. It is located in a huge cavern like room. I believe it was the largest in size for years, but lately the Circa has been claiming that honor. When it used to be the Hilton, they were known for offering a good value and not being afraid of a large bet. You could also count on their lines being very sharp. In addition, I believe they offer bets on the widest range of sports. However, with the boom in sports betting they are not the leader they once were, but they still offer the same classic experience. I have always and continue to have great respect for them.
- Futures: 20.77% house edge
- Over/under season wins: 20-cent lines
- MLB money lines: 10-cent lines. Pairings: +124/-134, +145/-160, +185/-205, +225/-255, +300,-350
- Money lines (except MLB): 20-cent lines up to at least +170/-190. Other pairings: +190/-215 +250/-300, +270/-330, +320/-380, +330/-400, +700/-1100
- Obscure proposition bets: 30-cent lines
- Expiration policy: 365 days
William Hill
William Hill is the biggest fish in the pond of Vegas sports books. Most casinos that are not affiliated in a large group tend to use William Hill for sports betting. Most of the time the sports books themselves are rather small and down to business. However, the Venetian is a notable exception with a nice looking room. I have bet through William Hills books many times over the years.
- Futures: house edge 18.50%
- MLB money lines: 20-cent lines. Pairings: +105/-125, +115/-135, +143/-170, +180/-220, +210/-260
- Money lines (except MLB): 20-cent lines. Other pairings: EV/-120, +130/-160, +150/-178, +192/-235, +220/-270, +260/-335, +280/-360, +400/-550
- Expiration policy: 365 days
Wynn
I like the Wynn sports book. I have been a lot of money there over the years. For such a large casino, it's rather small so may be hard to get a seat for big events. The reason I like it is I think they get a lot of square action, which creates value for sharp bettors.
- Futures: 25.32% house edge
- Over/under season wins: 20-cent lines
- MLB money lines: 15-cent lines. Pairings: +145/-160, +210/-240, +290/-350
- Money lines (except MLB): 20-cent lines up to at least +165/-185. Other pairings: +170/-200, +300/-380
- Expiration policy: 365 days
