WESTGATE IS GARBAGE!
It's owners and staff are even worse garbage!
Prior to mobile betting (2014 and prior).....I used to frequent there almost daily. In 2014 and prior.....It had.......a great board over the ticket writers.....all the drinks you wanted for tips....served by cocktail waitresses like Betty and Chona....that knew the locals by their first names and brought them drinks automatically with refills.....for us non-alcohol drinkers they had wonderful.....hot chocolate with whipped cream. Seats with space to write and eat and watch the board. Sufficient free parking in the back for bettors. A lousy.....but cheap buffet. Cheap eats you could enjoy at your seat.
Fast forward to today. Now even for nickel bettors.....You need "DRINK TICKETS" to get a drink. The eats are lousy and extremely overpriced. You have no seating with a table to eat them. Sure the new screens might be better.....but the atmosphere is not. The board is completely to the far right of the ticket writers. Tough to see when you are making a bet in person. The bar is too expensive for daily players. The food sucks and is too pricey. The buffet is garbage and over priced. Their parking is now atrocious and rarely free.
Worse yet.....to compensate for renovating their inferior book while coming DEAD LAST to the Las Vegas mobile betting party.......they now have to take hold percentages on their contests. Ridiculous!
A HORRIBLE BUSINESS PLAN. Shit on the locals......Up prices......Forget what made you great....and pray whales will bail you out on big bets.
It will blow up in Mr. Siegel's and Mr. Kornegay's face. They will never get another penny from me!
STAY AWAY FROM THIS GARBAGE!
