Mailing in Las Vegas Sportsbook winnings
I recently won a SuperBowl bet I placed @ Wynn Las Vegas. I mailed in the winning ticket.
Any ideas on how long it will take to receive the winnings by mail? I made a photocopy of the ticket just in case ... will the casinos honor that if I go out to Vegas soon?

I don't think you have anything to worry about. I did the same thing a few years ago (with the Bellagio sports book). I don't recall how long I had to wait for my cheque, but I don't remember it being unusually long.

Agree with all the items poster #2 said (call the Wynn, etc. etc.)
When I win (rarely) I mail it in (certified or registered; whichever is cheaper) and get a return receipt requested. If you didn't, hopefully nothing will happen. I'd hate to hear about it being "lost in the mail" or some other excuse.

a week
You should have your money in a week. I have done this 4-5 times, various casinos. I never had a problem and never waited more than 7 days. If you don't hear from them after about ten days, call. You may have a problem.
Good Luck!
