When I got stuck there 8 days during a basketball tourney, I spent some time searching for sports book with a nice screen and monitors for the horses.
Wandering around I found Bally's pretty darn good. Its been a while though.
And mind you I was only looking for the horses.

Bally's was great 5-10 years ago. Not now. Since John Avello left it has all been downhill there.

John Avello IS the head of Wynn's book.

John used to run the Bally's book. When Harrah's took over, he ran all of their properties before going to the Wynn. There is no more player friendly man than him. The Wynn is a great facility but John's attitude toward the player makes the book great.
