The Mirage

View/Screens: A-

The screens at The Mirage are huge, clear, and flexible. Like many of the newest sportsbook displays, the HD images can be different sizes based on the number of games on. The only thing missing is that the screens aren’t quite as bright and crisp as some of the newer sportsbook renovations.


Odds/Lines: B

MGM Resorts International casinos all share the same lines, odds, and pointspreads. These casinos also share a similar customer. Not all tourists are the sharpest sports bettors and the odds generally show that. Look for games with popular, major market, and United States based teams to offer lesser odds than some other sportsbooks.


Experience/Seating: A+

This is where The Mirage stands out. The massive sportsbook is located on the Vegas Strip and there’s almost always a buzz here. The sportsbook opens to the casino so there are often onlookers when the place gets hype. There is ample free seating as well as VIP stadium-style seating if you want to make sure you have a seat on a busy day.


Food/Drink: A

There are a number of restaurants under 30 seconds away that have food to go. These restaurants include LVB Burgers, Carnegie Deli, Starbucks, and California Pizza Kitchen. The latter has seating that looks out to the sportsbook, so you can watch the games while people serve you food. This isn’t something you find in most sportsbooks.


Mobile: A

The MGM Resorts International mobile sports wagering app probably has the best software of any app in Nevada. It’s easy to use and looks great. It only takes 10-15 minutes to open an account. The Mirage sportsbook is always busy and this is a must-have if you don’t want to stand around in lines for 20-30 minutes on Sundays.
