Although sports betting has one of the lower win percentages for casinos, it still draws millions in revenue for Vegas casinos year round. The most popular sports betting event in Las Vegas is by far the Super Bowl, which draws thousands of sports bettors each February to bet on the big game. Not far behind the Super Bowl is the March Madness college basketball tournament which also draws some big numbers to Vegas to bet on the event.
With the popularity of online sportsbooks increasing there is no doubt that the Las Vegas sportsbooks are losing a little bit of business, but they are always going to bring in some great numbers for casinos. I do my sports betting online daily of course, but I love making a trip down to Vegas to bet on some sports and have some fun, and I know a lot of sports bettors are the same.
