I am taking a trip to Vegas with my brother and a friend in September and a big part of the trip will be watching NFL on Sunday. In the past the sportsbooks have been predictably full on Sundays. How do I go about booking a table or 3 comfy chairs for all day on a football Sunday at a sportsbook? I have a low diamond level relationship with CZR so something at one of their books would be preferred especially if I could pay them with points. Anyone have some experience with this?

You might have noticed my post about regular season win totals bets ... I might try to fly in for the 1st weekend to place a bet before Sunday kickoff, then stay and watch all Sunday ... is it usually packed on Sunday of the 1st weekend? Everywhere?

We were staying at the Palms couple of years back and wanted to spend all Saturday watching college football - we stopped by on friday - the manager asked us if we would be betting on the games - we said yes and he reserved us 4 chairs.

I have heard lots of talk on this subject over the years saying they usually will not do it - but it can be done!!

Also don't forget Monday night football. By pure co-incidence in 2004 I went to the Palms - I think they had free hot dogs and something at half time, as well as a few distractions.

Unless something changes for this season, the Westpoint (formerly the LV Hilton) always opens up their big theater for NFL games. It must seat a couple thousand folks and has every game showing on big screens. They also have a couple betting cages just outside the theater entrance for half-time bets, etc.

It's probably not as nice as getting a table and seats reserved for you, but it is a ton of fun for us regular folks!

I normally call it The Hilton, however I think it's WestGATE. The sports book can be a mad house and not in a good way.

That new bar at the Westgate sports book is nice and looks like a great place to watch all of the games.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Call Wildfire Casino Sportsbook off Sunset. They may be able to help you. Also, calling a host at the larger Sunset Station, more local, off strip, may be another option for you.

You are correct. Too many name changes over the last few years!

Is anyone in Vegas for the NFL divisional playoffs (first weekend generally in January, I think this year Jan 7-8)?

Is it typically that busy?
