The M Resort sportsbook and the entire resort certainly isn’t within walking distance of the Bellagio fountains, but it has one distinct advantage over the well-traveled stops on the Strip.
The M Resort is the first major casino and sportsbook those coming from California will run into on Interstate 15 before they hit the bright lights and congestion of Las Vegas betting.
This luxurious property is located about eight miles directly south of the “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign and Mandalay Bay on South Las Vegas Boulevard.
It may get lost in the list of Vegas mega-casinos like Caesars Palace and the Wynn, but it has plenty to offer those looking for a little peace and quiet away from the endless hoopla of the Strip.
The M Resort Las Vegas sportsbook is the only gambling venue in the Vegas area that provides desk space, swivel leather chair, lamp, and individual television at all of its 90 personal VIP stations.
The inviting non-smoking M Resort sportsbook features 23 high-definition TVs secured on three sides of the room, with the main two flat screens anchored by other smaller screens and odds boards on the main wall behind the betting windows.
M Resort sports betting, which is located on the main property at 12300 South Las Vegas Boulevard in Henderson, Nevada, sits in the southwest corner of the casino floor. The fairly darkroom is surrounded by a Hot Slots tournament zone, 32 Degrees Draft Bar and Vig Deli.
Players must be 21 years of age or older to wager anywhere in Nevada, including at this secluded resort.
This is definitely one of the best sportsbooks around, according to locals. They love how easily accessible it is off the major highways that run through the Las Vegas area. The free, convenient parking right outside the sportsbook doesn’t hurt either.
There are M Resort sportsbook odds available on all the major professional and college sports, from the regular season games all the way to the league championships.
The book also simulcasts horse and dog racing from all the major tracks across the country.
If players want to avoid the betting queues, the CG Sports app powered by CG Technology can be downloaded to your Android or iOS devices. All M Resort online sports betting is available on this platform, which is also used on the Strip by the Cosmopolitan and Tropicana sportsbooks.
Like all of the other advertised sportsbook apps in this region, the M Resort Las Vegas sportsbook odds are only active online while you are in the state of Nevada.
It’s one of the biggest reasons why a membership with top-rated online site Bovada is a much better bet.
Sports bettors have a few options to make a bet at the M Resort. All three are easy to use. Guests can set up a wagering account at the sportsbook and place their own bets on their personal interactive station.
They can also make over-the-counter bets. But what’s trending today is the third option, and that’s moving all of this action online on mobile devices.
Here are most of the betting types you can expect to find at the land-based M Resort sportsbook:
Here are some of the sporting events bettors can wager on, including the league’s playoffs and championship:
Another betting craze today with M Resort sportsbook online is “in-running” sports wagering, where odds and spreads change continuously as the sporting event unfolds.
The younger crowd seems to be drawn to M Resort entertainment esports, where bettors wager on the outcome of professional video game tournaments.
It’s doesn’t seem to matter where you go in Las Vegas, guests always want to know about complimentary drinks. They come at a steep price at the M Resort sportsbook. You can obtain a drink voucher for a free beverage with a $300 bet on sports or $50 wager on horse racing.
Drink vouchers are easier to earn at other off-the-strip venues — like the Westgate or Station sportsbooks.
The M Resort has plenty of parking for visitors and guests. And, unlike the properties on the Strip such as the Mirage, Mandalay Bay or Flamingo, it’s free.
There are no bus routes that will take visitors from the airport or the Strip to the M Resort on South Las Vegas Boulevard in Henderson. But there’s still a number of other options, including taxi, limousine, ride share programs and the M Resort shuttle.
One of the best views of the Las Vegas skyline is found on the secluded 16th floor of the resort at 16 Rooftop Bar. The venue offers a diverse menu of handcrafted cocktails, unique shared plates and picturesque scenery. There are five other bars and lounges on the 90-acre property which sits 400 feet above the Strip, including:
You don’t have to roll the dice on the M Resort rewards card. Membership is free for mychoice. The points and tier credits with this new reward card are good at 35 destinations across the country.
There’s very few rewards and offers for the lowest level members called Choice, but the perks mount as players work up the levels to Advantage, Preferred, Elite and Owners Club. The top level players receive some impressive offers, including up to 25 per cent savings on Norwegian Cruise Line.
Like other Las Vegas casinos such as Red Rock, the Golden Nugget, and Hard Rock, the rewards card delivers special offers and promotions on your favorite games, free slot play and many other entertainment and show benefits.
In the sportsbook, horse players are eligible for two-per-cent cash back on win, place and show bets, and five per cent on exotics. Inquire at a betting window for comps on sports wagering.
No, the M Resort is not an oasis in the Mojave Desert. It may not be as well-known as the giant resorts like the Venetian, Aria or Planet Hollywood, but this gaming property in the middle of nowhere at the southern end of the Las Vegas Valley has just as much to offer as most of the resorts in the area — maybe even more if you don’t enjoy sirens, the wild crowds or the booming noise of today’s music on the Strip.
Like most casinos located off the Strip, gamblers will often find $5 minimums at table games scattered throughout the 92,000-square-foot gaming area at the M Resort. It’s about half the size of a major venue on the Strip — like MGM Grand.
It’s hard to pinpoint the exact number of slots machines, but there’s plenty of them considering the size of the resort. The minimums vary from one penny to $1 per pull. Use your M Resort rewards card when playing to qualify for the many slot tournaments.
The M has a high limit room, but it’s small. It’s located next to the sportsbook and an Asian restaurant. There are machines with a $2 minimum in this quiet room, but the majority are $5, $10 and $25. Table games typically carry a $50 minimum.
There are a few roulette, baccarat and craps tables in the main gaming area, but blackjack steals the show here. The popular card game pays 3-2 odds on 21 at $10 tables, and 6-5 odds on 21 at $5 tables. Also, players can only split their pairs once at the M.
Other tables game at this off-the-Strip resort include:
The M Resort in Henderson, Nevada, has received a four-star rating from the Forbes Travel Guide every year since its opening in March 2009, deeming the property “One of the Finest Hotels in the World.”
The hotel features 390 guest rooms — including one, two, and three-bedroom loft suites — that balance comfort and luxury with a sleek modern look.
Hotel guests will be charged the dreaded resort fee upon checkout, which is common at all Las Vegas properties like Harrah’s and South Point.
For a $25 per night fee at the M, guests are given access to the fitness center, airport shuttle, shuttle to the Strip, WiFi connection, in-room bottled water service, and free self-parking.
