I'm a big fan of the Vegas Hilton. The race and sports book is terrific, it's huge and the televisions are all in good, working order. The deli inside the book is outstanding.
If you are a bit of a sizable player the staff at the Hilton will take care of you with current/future comps. They also have a contest called Super Saturdays which is cheap ($30/entry, up to 3 per player). They designate five signals from across America and you have five mythical $100 win/place bets to spread across the tracks (usually NY, CA, KY, IL, and LA). There's no cap but simply a small supply of wagers available to you.
In terms of other race books, Mandalay Bay is very big but a lot of the televisions are broken and it is heavily geared towards sports, in my opinion.
Bellagio is lavish, Wynn seems OK, and that's about it in terms of good ones.
Have a great time, Vegas is the most exciting city in the world.
