I'm off to Vegas for the 1st time in a few weeks and would like some advice on where to watch the NFL. Also which are the best sportsbooks out there both for viewing and betting.

Thanks in advance.

Belliago sportsbook is great, all 8 early games on, leather chairs and free drinks (get there early on the Sunday though).  I am only a 200 dolar max punter so limits never an issue with me! but saw some fairly lumpy bets (upto about 5 grand) layed.  Do check out other sportsbooks when you're walking around early in the week as you'll sometimes be able to nick a half point here and there if you've got a strong early opinion.

MGM looks great, although i've not been there during a game - countless TV's so I guess all games are on

Go to the ESPN Zone across the road from MGM and sit at the bar...fantastic for NFL Sunday

Depending on when you're actually there, you could go and watch the UNLV Rebels play.

4 Sept v Wisconsin Badgers
25 Sept v New Mexico Lobos
2 Oct v Nevada Wolf Pack
30 Oct v Texas Christian Horned Frogs
13 Nov v Wyoming Cowboys
18 Nov v Air Force Fighting Falcons

Just an idea.

Go to the book in the Palazzo/Venetian called Lagasse's Stadium or something and get yourself an in-play console. A pain in the rear to keep changing the batteries but you can bet on most events such as "How will this drive end TD/FG/Punt" for example.

Pretty shocking overrounds, but very beatable in the mould of the old bodog in play lines. Also if you google the place you'll see why I suggest it, even if you don't fancy the in-play console (which you will when you try one :p )

Also the book at Aria looked awesome but I don't know how fast it fills up as they opened the day I last left Cry

all the books get super busy on nfl sundays and it will be standing room only so get there early. make sure you ask for drinks tickets when placing your bets. in addition to whats already been mentioned the sportsbook at the wynn is also worth checking out. you'll have a great time.

The ESPN zone has closed now.

Yes ESPN Zone closed, try the sports bar in miracle mile shops in planet hollywood.  Dozens of big screens and really cute waitresses,  Can remember what it is called but you cant miss it.

Circus circus is sound.  Wasnt there during nfl season, but thats a proper old school casino.

Stay away from newer rubbish like the Wynn.

Cant beat Ceasers Palace for me - Cant remember exactly but they had about 8 large screens and  seats everywhere, atmosphere was awesome as there were 100's of poeople watching the games - you cant go anywhere in vegas without being near at least one TV with football on.
