What are the best sportsbooks in Vegas to get drink tickets for your bets? Or are there any places where the drinks are free no matter what?
Help a relatively "cheap" player out...don't want to drop $100 on bets and get 2 beers out of the deal.

Moved from Ask vegas... I would say Caesars cause their book is basically on the floor, but honestly I'm not sure. Somebody help this guy out please.

The Caesars book shipped me 2 drink tickets for each hundo I bet, for the record. Bellagio is free without a lot of hassle, last I checked.

Lagasse's stadium gave me about 10 drink tickets last time I was there, I bet a total of $2500.

Was at the Rio last time betting the horses to pass time before my flight back home and in 2 races I got 3 drinks. No ticket needed...I heard at the places where you "get" drink tickets you can grease the window handing them out.

I'm fine with you guys thinking your pissing me off or something acting like this but we all know where im going to end up in poker when being serious. I am up almost 10k this summer in micro FR and 6 max 15-20 tabling and I have tons of backers but yep just keep laughing at me and i'll keep dedicating my life to improving my poker game and getting somewhere big in life.

It does. I would be watching my sports there if I were you. They don't give you tickets you just order from the waitress and tip her so she comes back, obv. I bet like $50 on a MNF game last time I was there and I probably had 8 drinks during the game.

100% always bellagio, you don't even have to be betting to get drinks. also the girls go to the backroom right next to the sports book to get drinks, so its pretty quick.
edit: big shout to cynthia, tip her well... trust me...

lol, I was afraid this was the reaction that would get... na she's just really nice and would hook us up with extra drinks and let us get more expensive things. Obv she was just looking for bigger tips but she'd come shoot the shit with us all week.

+1 on Bellagio being a no-ticket drink sportsbook - but obv tip the girls.
Wynn I believe is similar but I haven't been there in a few yrs.
All Harrah's properties are drink nazi's, u need a ticket, oh you want a scotch? fuck off, etc.
come to think of it they are comping the Macallan in the Aria poker room for 1-3 NL, wouldn't be surprised if they are shipping it in the 'book w/out tickets

100% True. I arrived too late to place a bet on an NFL game and the waitress was the one who prompted me when I inquired about the price of drinks.
Waitress "Do you have a betting ticket, they are free?"
Me "No."
Waitress "Doooooo youuuuuuuu have a betting ticket?"
Me(Wheels start to spin) "Yes. Yes I do."
Waitress "What Do you want?"

Bukowski72:
The LV Hilton is my favorite sports book. Very large and for NFL Sundays and other big events the open their showroom and show the games on a movie screen in HD.
I would still advise you to get there early if you want a good seat. As you are pushed out from the main book some of the old lady video junkies act like they will gnaw your arm off if you sit or stand near their machines. They are very territorial. I like to call them the video poker wolverines or VPWolverines for short.

I love the Hilton too for sports, just kinda sucks its a little off the strip. They don't have a poker room anymore either so can no longer kill two birds with one stone by making a trip that way.
