Vegas Sports Books

[QuestionSocratic]

In the 25 years before COVID, I averaged at least one trip per year to Vegas. Many of those were in the fall and included Saturdays. On those days, I fondly recall going to the sports books to watch multiple football games on their many screens. A couple of beers and a few small bets, filled my days.

Now many of the prominent sports books are charging for seats to watch the games; up to $550 at Caesars. Is that what people call inflation?

It's not inflation, it's supply and demand.

A spokeswoman for MGM Resorts, parent of Bellagio, Cosmopolitan and several other properties on the Las Vegas Strip, said free seating is available at all its properties in Las Vegas on a first-come-first-served basis. Reservations are optional for those who want to snag a seat in advance, she said.

Been going for 35 years myself and every year it gets worse. Is what it is, when people quit going it will get better.
