I haven't been around as much as you guys, but the LVH I have to agree sucked come Thursday morning. avg wait time in the morning was +30 minutes at one point.
the Riviera sportsbook I stopped at and it was a joke, spent most of my Thursday and Friday in circus circus where it was quiet and the wait time was about instant and it was an mgm book
years past caesars was pretty cool but I had the best experience and stay in The hotel at mandalay. between their sportsbook which is nice if you reserve a table (though the line looked a lot longer this year), their casino, the suites, and my personal favourite is the bathouse their. beach is nice too
luxor I found to be dumpy in comparison
