Note: Lagasse’s Stadium, formerly located inside The Palazzo on the Las Vegas Strip, permanently closed in 2020 following the COVID-19 pandemic. The venue, once a hybrid sports bar, restaurant, and sportsbook created by celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse, featured stadium seating, luxury boxes, and a large video wall for live games. After its closure, the space was not reopened under the Lagasse’s Stadium name, and the Palazzo / Venetian complex later introduced new sportsbook concepts, most recently rebranded as the Yahoo Sportsbook powered by William Hill.

The Palazzo Las Vegas is a sportsbook inside the Venetian. The Venetian Las Vegas is one of the most-known resorts on the Strip with its Venice and Italian-themed halls. You see that Italian theme carried over into the Palazzo sportsbook.
In this review, we’re giving you an insider’s look at the Palazzo, starting with the trusty sportsbook. Is it worth your time — especially compared to the other sportsbooks on the Strip? We have honest thoughts if you keep on reading!
3325 South Las Vegas Blvd — that’s the spot where Palazzo sits. It’s a good location on the Strip, more centrally located than anything else so you’re always close to all the nearby action.
The Palazzo is a high-end luxury resort and so is its sportsbook. What sets it apart is the stadium seating in the main section of the venue. Five rows of extensive couch seatings are offered here, pillows included. Go ahead, put your feet up.
This area is bordered on both sides by table seating for a large number of people. This level is set at the same height as the top row of the stadium, so viewing one of the many TVs is convenient for everyone.
Betting windows are located at the bottom of the stadium floor. On the main wall is a 16×9-foot projection screen with many more TVs of multiple sizes surrounding it. An odds board display is located to the right of the main viewing area.
These days, the sportsbook is powered by William Hill, which is now owned by Caesars but still operates in several places with its old William Hill branding. That’s the case here, whether you’re betting with a bookie in person or using the new William Hill app. That’s right, the app underwent a massive overhaul in 2023 and for the better because it used to suck — but not anymore!
However, the William Hill app doesn’t work everywhere, only in the states where it has a license to operate. If you want an app that works anywhere and everywhere, give offshore bookmaker Bovada a go.
There are more than 100 HD televisions with seating for 600 guests in this venue, which is a full-service bar and restaurant. Pub food and drinks are served right to your seat or table. On Monday and Thursday nights during the NFL season, a chef customizes the nightly specials based on that evening’s game.
There are special events and parties offered during big games throughout the year — like March Madness, the Super Bowl or Kentucky Derby. Seats in the tiered viewing area are in big demand for these events. Lagasse’s Stadium also offers a back patio, luxury boxes and private party rooms. Complimentary valet parking is available at the front door of the Palazzo.
