BetMGM Sportsbook at New York New York Casino Las Vegas

A very small sportsbook with 7 lounge chairs to strain your neck trying to watch games high up on a wall. There are seven betting windows and four kiosks available. There is a racebook that takes up most of the area and the TVs are really for racebook customers. The entire design of the place is to get you to make a sports bet and leave the area.

There is one good thing about the New York New York sportsbook. With all of the betting windows and no seats to accommodate customers who want to watch a game there isn’t usually a long line. When the MGM Grand sportsbook across the street is packed I will go over to the NY book and usually be able to get in faster than if I had stayed in line at the MGM.

Absolutely no reason to try and watch a game here. That is part of the MGM corporate strategy. They will have a few sportsbooks to watch the games in like Mandalay Bay which is just down the street from NYNY and send everyone there to watch the games. NYNY will serve as a place to make a quick bet and as a space to push the BetMGM app. If you go into NYNY now you will have several people pushing the app. In fact, I was in on one Saturday and they had 2 people at the betting windows and 3 on the floor pushing the app.
