Most places I have gone, NO comped drinks in sportsbook, NO comps for sports wagering, and bring money risked to window. $110 to win 100, etc Good luck

Wow always stay at the Rio and get comped drinks all the time. Maybe I'm wrong but pretty sure they comp. Yes make sure you tell them what you want to risk. Not what you want to win. If there is a main event always ask the clerk what looks good. Get a little inside to where the money is going. Don't forget to tip when you win.

Have a good one.

The Mirage sportsbook comps drinks. Most of the nicer casinos do. I stayed at the Imperial Palace one year (yeecccch) and don't recall being able to booze for free.

On the flip side, the Palace book was smaller and had much more friendly service. A friend of mine laid a big money line wager on a Michigan football game, and it was kind of cool to watch the manager scurry to the board and change the number on account of his bet. The guys behind the desk at the Mirage are assholes--you better have your bet number and amount ready when you get up there or you'll get bitched at, and don't expect any sympathy if you accidentally give them the wrong number or team.

alot of shit has changed at the books. most books do not comp anymore. they give out drink tickets withyour bet. ie, if you bet st joes for a buck they will probably give you 2 drink tickets. you have to ask for them if the book does tickets or else you are screwed till your next play. the venectian comps drinks to my knowledge and monte carlo used to back in the day. all of the others that i have been too have done the ticket thing. good luck

i live here in vegas. so i go only to place a bet and leave. i don't care about comps or anything else. i usually bet at a local place called arizona charlies, which is also linked up with the stratosphere. the only thing i do is walk in, place the bet, tell them how much i want to risk, and leave. the ONLY reason i bet there is because they seem to have more favorable odds the majority of the time. if u are looking for a place that is upscale or decent to hang out and watch the games, get comps, i couldn't really help you. i only care about odds, and getting in and out. hope this helps.

i was there last weekend and got comp'ed drinks at the Rio and Ventian. I was not staying at either one.

No comp drinks at Caesar's.
