May not be as glamourous as others mentioned here (Wynn is awesome) but I was very comfortable and enjoyed the the Super Saver Derby at the Southpoint. Plenty of room, excellent viewing for horses. I was treated nicely. I would go back for sure............

I agree that the racebook at the Southpointe is one of the better ones. There are nicer racebooks (Wynn, Bellagio) but you have to bring a flashlight with you to read the forms. Southpointe is one of the few hotels that actually cares about horseplayers. It has special reduced room rates for horseplayers and the video from the racebook is shown on the different channels on the tv in your room .So you can flip on the races in the am without racing down to the racebook. I have asked at other hotels why they don't do the same thing and get indifferent shrugs. I mean how hard is it to flip a switch. Nice to be able to go back up to relax and be able to watch the rest of your P4 races race live in the comfort of your own room.
Venitian sportsbook was remodeled a few years ago and is huge and very bright with huge screens surrounding the place. Good place to watch sports at the same time you are playing the races.

nice to know that we have confirmed that cig. smoke kills people, yet we still allow it to kill other people who want nothing to do with it, legally.... and for cigarette smokers, very slowly.
