If you're going to the bash save your money for NHL future shopping at the Plaza. They have some of the most liberal odds across the board anywhere. As of this morning's numbers they have a minuscule 34% hold.
In comparison, the Golden Nugget’s NHL future vig is about 50%.

As I was writing the word minuscule I was thinking, I really need to use a different adjective.Fishhead said:
However in today’s world a shop offering a 34% future hold is rare in deed. It's amazing to me that offshore books are insightful enough to offer reduced juice on straight bets to attract business and nearly every Vegas book will take a nickel line on the Super bowl but paranoid of doing the same with futures. Today they offer every kind of prop bet imaginable, (usually with a thirty or forty cent line), just to get you in the door but heaven help them to actually give you a fighting chance with a bet that gives them up to six months at holding onto your money.
I haven’t seen decent future numbers in Vegas since the Twins and Braves both made it to the ‘91 world series as 100/1 and 200/1 shots respectively.
