Vegas Betting Online

Test your talents at the World Series of Poker. The best players in the world compete for almost 100 championship bracelets from the end of May to the main event final table in July. However, the WSOP isn't the only game in town when it comes to poker.

• Every Las Vegas resort has a poker room.
• High limit cash games are often available at Aria or Bellagio.
• Games for as low as $1 per ante or blind are found daily on the Strip.
• There are also daily tournaments at most poker rooms.
• Many poker rooms — like Caesars Palace or the Venetian — are open 24 hours.

If you're visiting Las Vegas, get ready for an invasion of slot machines. They are even there to greet you at McCarran Airport.

• There are more than 40,000 slot machines on the Las Vegas Strip.
• A player can wager as low as one penny per spin up to $1,000 a pull.
• Bonuses, mega winners and progressive jackpots are found in all of the Vegas resorts.
• A World War II vet hit the multimillion-dollar Megabucks jackpot twice. Who said the house always wins?

Expect a long lineup for major championships like the Super Bowl or Final Four for Las Vegas bets like the money line or point spread. These games are a desirable ticket.

You can also jump the queue and log into your Bovada account for Las Vegas betting online. This sportsbook will offer more betting options than the ones found on the Strip.

• Most Las Vegas sportsbooks are open around 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• Sportsbooks offer a complimentary beverage with wagers, but the bet amount is often quite high.
• Don't expect to get a seat in one of the more popular venues for major sporting events.

Sports betting Las Vegas is gaining momentum across the country, but it continues to grow even more on the Strip with the addition of two professional sports teams — the NHL's Vegas Golden Knights and the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders. 

Many just like to play the home team to win on Bovada. Just keep it simple with Vegas bets online. Others will tackle a parlay bet where a winning ticket must consist of two or more correct wagers — like a winning team against the spread and the correct choice in the over/under totals. More risk, higher reward.

Another option to keep in mind if you're on the Strip is searching for the best odds on Vegas betting online. With more than two dozen sportsbooks within walking distance, find the best odds for maximum return on your wager.

Vegas online sports betting continues to change as more and more gamblers get in on the game. Sure, the money line, point spread and over/under total bets remain the most popular, sites are always looking for ways to make the game more exciting for the avid players with the newest betting trends.

The latest addition is "in-play betting," where gamblers can wager on a particular period or quarter within the game. Will the star player score in a touchdown in this quarter, will the home team's quarterback throw for a certain number of yards in the first half? The betting options are endless, and it adds a lot of excitement to the game without waiting for the final score.

As technology improves and changes, top-ranked Las Vegas betting sites will make sure their members don't miss a bet. You will be able to place a bet from the opening pitch to the final out, all with just a few clicks.

Bonuses, bonuses and more bonuses. All the top-ranked online sites on Vegas sports betting offer a bonus of some sort. Some give the newcomer straight cash back, others make it a portion of the initial deposit. 

MyBookie equals your initial deposit up to $1,000 cash.

Sports Betting and BookMaker both offer a 50-per-cent sign-up bonus up to $1,000 cash.

That's a lot of money to bet on the home team or simply learn how to place a bet in Vegas.

VegasBetting lists the top online sites and keeps newcomers up-to-date on welcome bonuses for Bovada, MyBookie, BetOnline, Intertops, 5Dimes, Sports Betting, WagerWeb, BookMaker and BetDSI. Once you're a member of one of these sites, there are even more bonuses to earn through continuous play.

Many of these sites will also offer sports betting promotions, tournaments and teasers to add even more excitement to your game.

There are 39 resorts on the Strip and 104 casinos in total in the Las Vegas area. So, there's no shortage of places to stay or venues to find a Vegas betting website for the big game.

If you're planning your first trip to Las Vegas, the most-often-asked question is: "Where should I stay?" The answer always depends on what is most important to you on your vacation.

The list of important features in your resort will likely include best pools, top restaurants, prime location, great nightclub, things to do, and luxurious hotel. And we haven't even got to the gambling aspect of your stay.

When it comes to gaming, guests will consider the biggest and best casino floor, comfortable sportsbook, spacious poker room and the rewards program that comes with all your wagers.

Every resort has at least one pool. Most have multiple pools, with the top resorts heating the water to a perfect temperature in the winter months.

• Mandalay Bay is an 11-acre aquatic playground with multiple pools, a lazy river, a wave pool, and sand-and-surf beach.
• Bellagio is a spot to relax with multiple pools, quiet mood music and several hot tubs.
• Mirage pool area offers a lush tropical oasis of saltwater pools, whirlpool spas and relaxing waterfalls.

If you want to be in the heart of the action on the Strip, you can still find a resort in your price range.

One of the newest resorts on South Las Vegas Boulevard is the Cosmopolitan. The $4-billion resort is the trendiest spot on the Strip and right at the center of the action. It's not the most expensive place to stay of all the hotels, but it's among the leaders.

Paris resort is on the east side of the Strip and faces the famous Bellagio fountains. The property with its modern French decor would rank mid-tier as far as cost per stay.

Linq changed its name and appearance in 2014. It would rank among the cheapest spots to stay on the Strip. Today, it is just a short walk to the High Roller ferris wheel and Fly Linq zip line.

There are many world-class shows on the Strip, including eight Cirque du Soliel productions. Is there anything for free to see?

Fountains of Bellagio is a choreographed water feature that performs to light and music. The shows run daily but hours vary on the day of the week. The fountains were the most iconic shot of the 2001 film Ocean's Eleven.

The volcano in the front yard of the Mirage erupts three times every night. The original marquee sign in front of the Mirage is the largest free-standing marquee in the world.

The wildlife habitat at the Flamingo is home to (surprise) flamingos, but you'll also find swans, ducks, koi, turtles and even two rescued pelicans.
