Breeders' Cup- Vegas or Atlantic City

[slotdirt]

There are very few places on this planet that would win in a battle of Vegas or (insert city here). Obviously, Vegas is the choice.

I wouldn't give up on tickets either. You could have very easily had tickets for less than face at last year's Breeders Cup on the day of the race.

Borgata in AC - They will give you two coupons in the sportsbook for free drinks. If you get there before the first race you will have plenty of counters to choose from to stand/lean and watch the races. The picture quality on some of the big screens wasn't that good, but you can always look at another one.

I was in Las Vegas for last year's BC on a BC-event invite from the Hilton. I'm pretty sure they were devoting one of their big conference hall rooms to the BC, like they do for the Kentucky Derby. You wouldn't have to compete with football bettors. As it turned out, I wanted access to various odds that I could get better online than on the big screens, so I spent the entire BC in my hotel room. But I doubt anyone yelled louder for Ouija Board in the F&M Turf or Invasor in the Classic than me alone in my Vegas hotel room! (no money on Invasor, but I hated the idea of them retiring Bernardini and I wanted him beaten!)

I don't know if you need an invite to get into the Hilton's BC broadcast room. You do for the Derby. They had a pretty nice buffet spread out for this year's Derby.

The only horse room in AC is @ Wild Wild West Casino..(ballys)... but if you dont get there by 9am .. you can FORGET about a seat with a tv. Other casinos have a shoebox for a horse room... But I will say.. the ""eye candy"" can make it worth to hang out in the casino..between the BC races !

another option would be off the strip the Suncoast is about half an hour away and its a nice hotel/resort with a fairly large race book. The Orleans is also another nice option away from the strip during those busy weeeknds.

gold coast should be decent. all the coast casino advertise to horse players.

Borgata has a pretty nice race book. It is right by the poker room. I am planning on heading there this year for the Breeders Cup instead of the south Philly Turf Club. Wild West is not bad also. I am just worried about getting a daily racing form on Breeders cup day.

Planet Hollywood (previously the Aladdin) has a very horseplayer-friendly book. Free forms and very generous with comps. The mgr. is a horseplayer and ponies don't take a backseat to the NFL in there. Might be the best kept secret in town.
