Part of the fun of visiting Las Vegas is scoring a comp or upgrade. Most Vegas visitors expect free drinks while gambling, however at the sports book, scoring a comp has gotten a bit trickier. But if you stick to a few rules, the sports book can be one of the easiest spots to score a free drink, or two,or three! The following 7 tips should be useful if you are looking at getting comped drinks at the sports book.
BE CHARMING - Ticket writers are hard working folks. They are responsible for dealing with large sums of money while being ambassadors for their casino's sports book. While placing your bet, being friendly and polite at the ticket window goes a long way in securing free drink coupons regardless of what the "house" minimum is for getting drinks comped. So, be kind to the ticket writers and in most cases they'll be kind right back no matter what amount you are betting.
FIND OUT - Some sports books offer complimentary drinks and some do not. It is always a good idea to ask a sports book employee what the policy is. While some sports books work on the free drink coupon system, others provide free drinks if you are simply watching games.
AVOID CANTOR SPORTS BOOKS - I will preface this by saying that Cantor run race and sports books are swanky spots. The quality of their HD screens are top notch and the motif of their sports books are sleek, modern, and very well done. But when it comes to free drinks, Cantor does not cut the mustard. Unless you are a "heavy-hitter" type of sports bettor, comped drinks are a no-go. Cantor run sports books include The Venetian, Cosmopolitan, Tropicana, Hard Rock, and a few others.
MAKE A BET - The general rule at almost every sports book is that if you are betting, you will get a free drink. So make sure that if you are betting, ask for a free drink ticket. If the sports book works on the honor system (The Bellagio is one), make sure your betting tickets are visible.
INVESTIGATE - Sports Books have varied policies when it comes to complimentary drinks. So, if getting drinks comped is important, make research part of the equation before spending valuable Vegas time at a sports book. Reviews and updates on webistes such as The Vegas Parlay is a great way to keep tabs on sports book policies and stay informed.
THE GRATUITY - Better service is almost a given at the sports book if you tip. Tipping the ticket writers and cocktail servers even a small amount will go a long way in making getting free drinks easier. You'd be surprised how much more often the cocktail server comes around when you tip accordingly.
EXPLORE - There are a lot of off-strip sports books that are customer friendly when it comes to sports book players. So if you are staying at one of the off-strip casinos (LVH, South Point, and Gold Coast sports books have liberal free drink policies), venturing to the strip for sports book action may not be necessary.
If you are on the strip, some sports books where free drinks and/or comp drink coupons are easy to come by include: Bellagio, Excalibur, Caesar's Palace, Wynn, and Mandalay Bay.
