not to long ago you couldn't use a phone now i hear you can use laptops?.. you have to have wireless internet then, correct?..and i guess a long lasting battery to sit in the book all day?...you cant just show up and plug into the wall or the outlet connected to the little 10' monitors at yer seat ?..or can you...this fascinates me...anyone with any insight...do tell...gonna be out there in 16 days....

I've brought my laptop into Vegas racebooks for years.
Usually security stops by or the manager and I have to show them I'm not "online"
Some books are more laptop friendly than others as far as power outlets.
With the new rules I guess I won't be hassled anymore

I'd be interested myself. I'm coming out for 2 weeks in October. Sure would be nice to have my laptop with me in the sports books. Do any of you locals notice many laptops in the books yet?

From the two different people in ths sportsbooks I have talked to they say that you can bring laptops in and use them they just dont want you uisng them too bet. Not sure how they can enforce that.

Your laptop screen can probably be read by the eye in the sky, although maybe not, considering how difficult it can be to read a screen from an odd angle. But if it can be read, they can see you betting.

I'm more interested in whether they'll have a problem with us looking at lines before getting down at their book. They shouldn't; they should only appreciate the action. But it's Vegas, baby.
