Sports books have been a part of Vegas casinos for 51 years since the late Jackie Gaughan opened one in the Union Plaza. Interestingly his son Michael owns South Point where last spring I spent two wonderful late morning to early afternoons handicapping the horses. Afterwards I just walked a few steps and played a poker tournament. 🙂 Casinos are for gamblers, and those two things are definitely a part of that world. 🙂najisami said:

I don[ mind if the casino offers such games , it might do anything to maximize it's profits either I like it or not . Horse races are sth I dislike , among other games , but if casinos like them they can try to have profits from them
i like sports betting next to the poker room, because I seldom sports bet. Those poker players who do are usually distracted by the games and are occupied impressing others with their knowledge. Thus they make more mistakes playing poker that I try to capitalize on.
I would remove slot machines as well. I find them pretty pointless, and I’d say the same about electronic bingo and electronic craps. I much prefer playing these kinds of games live, with a real dealer and the opportunity to interact and chat with other players.
