Hey guys and gals,

I am going to Las Vegas at the end of the month....Tired of gambling online....

My question is in the Vegas sportsbooks do they charge any fees, or make you fill out tax forms on large wins?

Can you cash out in chips.....

Which casions have the best books, and are the lines the same at all of the strip casinos??

Which books do you guys and gals recommend?

Vegas sportsbooks are just like online books... their fees are built in to the "juice."

They do make you fill out a tax form if you win $1200 or more. So it's better to make smaller bets, 2 $750 rather than 1 $1500 bet.

No, lines are not the same everywhere. Goes up and down depending on how their clients bet. No, they pay you in cold hard cash. You can exchange them for chips at the blackjack table.

My favorite books are: Venetian; The Orleans; Hilton; Stardust. Bellagio is good too but too crowded.

NY/NY and Aladdin are a joke. Unless they did some major renovations in the past couple of years.
