bad odds
Yes, it's a beautiful place. BUT, you don't get comped drinks if you bet. And they have rip off betting odds, sometimes worse than you get from your neighborhood bookie. Go ahead, watch the game and have a couple drinks but don't bet there.

For football the odds may be a 1/2 a point different than William Hill, Boyd Group, Station Casinos, etc. That 1/2 a point could be good or bad for you, depending what team you are betting on. Most of the time the line is the same at almost every sports book throughout Nevada.
Also, show up early if you want to get a seat. Again to the OP: Where are you staying?

Agree with this except for the betting part. Cantor Gaming runs the sports book and the odds are the same at the Palazzo, Venetian, Cosmo, Tropicana, The M, Hard Rock, Palms, Silverton, online betting in Nevada and more.

No, not the point spread, the pay out. They sometimes work on a 5 to 6 pay out instead of the usual 10-11. They incorporate money odds intro point spread betting. It's really bad and I found out the hard way last month when I only collected $82 on a 100 bet. The other sports book pay about $90. Ask what the bet will pay before buying the ticket, you be surprised.
The odds are posted at every sports book (by NV law). Cantor Gaming must go by the law. If they did not - report them.
Again, sounds like you took a money line bet.

spread bets have a money line too.
eg, looking at today's NCAA odds at
http://espn.go.com/college-football/lines
most of the spread bets are -110 (or -105 at 5dimes, smaller vig), but not all.

May be a bit late to for this recommendation, but the bars in Four Queens and Binion's downtown will rebate your tab in free play up to $50. You buy drinks, appetizers, food, etc. and take your receipt to the players club to get the free play. This is valid during most (all?) days where football is on TV. Note - the choice of slot machines you can use this on is pretty limited, bordering on pathetic...
