How much do people working in Las Vegas sportsbooks make?

BillyWaltersJr+ · Jan 21, 2008

I saw the job mentioned in another thread, and I must admit that would be a awesome job to have if it paid relatively well.

Does anyone know any rough estimates and what is required for the various positions in the sports books?

Entry level jobs start at minimum wage plus free unlimited horse touts from the degenerates.

Some of the waitstaff, and I believe dealers make crazy $$$$.

$10-$12 an hour. You really have to become a dealer if you want to make any money working in a Vegas casino. Honestly, living in Vegas is not at all like being on vacation in Vegas. Best to focus your efforts on a high-paying career and going to Vegas twice a year.

He's talking about a Vegas SportsBook....NOT a Dealer or @sswipe job

I know some guys that make some Good Money working in Sportsbooks

We get some of our guys from there.....

They don't make good money at all. They are just a glorified 7-11 clerk.

I'm talking about some guys that Run them, not your Avg. Clerk

There have been some Sharp guys over the years that came from there
But the problem is, They Never last in CR for long....They go back

How about the wait staff in the high end retardedly overpriced clubs?

Sportsbook clerks make very little in the way of wages or tips.
Supervisors make a bit more.
The bosses aren't exactly bringing in huge figures.

Illini is closer to correct than most.

My bartender and poker dealing friends cleared more than I did running things.

GD...Not saying they all do, But Knew a few that made some good money

Also.. Didn't know you worked down there ?? Which place ? if you don't mind me asking

GreenDoberman · Jan 21, 2008

Depends on your definition of good money I guess.

I ran one of the books and poker rooms in a mid-major hotel on the Strip for a short while. Pretty common knowledge on here and I'm sure others can share. The past is the past.

VD...Thanks

I knew you would know as he made the trip down there plus you spent time with him at last years Bash.

Well when I go back to Vegas in March, just might have to take him out to Lunch.......

Maybe he knows some of my Old Friends from the "Old Skybook " Days
a few of them worked in Vegas before they worked there...

Betall,
If I'm in town certainly would be glad to sit down and have a few beers. May leave the first week of March Madness.
