Making my first trip to Vegas in a few days. Several questions I have that I would really appreciate any help in answering.

1) Is there a place to see all of the lines offered in Vegas (a way to compare what line the Hilton has versus another book) without actually going to the book?
2) Do any sportsbooks offer reduced juice?
3) How do future bets work? Do you have to be present to claim your winnings?
4) In your opinion what are the best books or places in general to watch sports in Vegas?

1) i doubt it

2) I do think they have -105's but that comes with -115's on the other side. Not 100% sure about reduced though, doubt it.

3) No, you can claim from home, just mail it in. I did it, and won.

4) Depends what you want, big noise, big place, or low key. I havent been to them all, but I found Caesars pretty cool, Wynn was small, not as much to offer. Hilton offers a lot of stuff, tons of TV's...but I didnt like the viewing place for it much.

1) vegasinsider dot com (I have absolutely no affiliation with the site mods..he asked)
2) No, -110 is standard around town
3) Nope, don't have to be present, as a matter of fact, you can mail in any ticket. So, if you make a bet leaving town in the morning and the game is at night, you win, you can send the ticket in (address and info is on the back of the ticket)
4) I think watching games in sportsbooks sucks really. The best place in my opinion is to find a bar.

3 - mail em in

4 I think the Hilton has a big non smoking theater for football on sundays
