BetMGM Sportsbook at the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas

Located just inside the casino on the first floor it is definately easy to walk in off the strip and into the sportsbook but it is not easy to get a seat in this place. A lot of tables will have reserved on them even if there is no actual reservation. It is how they keep people from walking in and watching a game without betting. Do not even try to walk in and get a seat during football season. Everything is reserved.

There are eight betting windows and eight kiosks. The screens are a little low but watchable if you can get a lounge chair or one of the couches. A total of thirty lounge chairs and ten couches with small tables are available. Be warned, even if you are sitting in one a host may walkover and put a reserved sign on it just to make sure you are betting. Yes, they are like that at the Cosmo. The twenty bar stool tables with chairs are always reserved. Always. Always. Even if there isn’t a person in the sportsbook but you they are still reserved. On the far right of the sportsbook is a small racebook with 12 seats and screens. This is the place to go if you do not want to bet a lot but still want to watch the game. Just put $2 down on the favorite in the race and watch the game on your screen.

Overall, I like the Cosmopolitan as a place to stay on the strip but I do not like watching games here. There is an attitude problem in this sportsbook. I know I can get a couch whenever I want but I just don’t like the Cosmo treats customers like cattle. Again, great hotel to stay at but I wouldn’t spend anytime in this book with Caesars available.
