Boomer’s Sportsbook now operates the sportsbooks at Binion’s and Four Queens in downtown Las Vegas. With the new addition, the 12 casino hotels in downtown Las Vegas now have in-person sportsbooks operated by six companies across seven brands, spread across 10 properties.
Current Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkley and former Mayor Oscar Goodman were on hand for the grand opening at Four Queens on Sept. 2. After cutting the ribbon for the opening, Berkley placed the first bet: a $100 wager on the Raiders to win the Super Bowl. She placed the same bet last year when Boomer’s opened its first Las Vegas location at Ellis Island.
Boomer’s now operates the sportsbooks at eight casinos around the Las Vegas Valley and 17 throughout Nevada. The company also has betting kiosks inside Village Pub taverns.
“It’s hard to think of another property with the historical resonance of Binion’s,” Boomer’s Sportsbook CEO Joe Asher said on LinkedIn. “In just over a year, Boomer’s has gone from an idea to 16 sports books and a mobile app, servicing sports bettors across Nevada as the football season starts. It’s a lot of growth in a short period of time, made possible by the hard work of a great team and the loyal support of our casino partners.”
The landscape of downtown sportsbooks continues to evolve. A decade ago, there were only a few different operators. There are five operators in downtown Las Vegas casinos since Caesars owns William Hill, and both brands offer the same odds.
While recreational sports bettors just want to place a bet and watch a game, some advanced players want as many options as possible to find the best odds.
Boomer’s Sportsbook Takes Over At Binion’s and Four Queens
Boomer’s is now operating the sportsbooks at Binion’s and Four Queens in downtown Las Vegas. Both casinos are owned by TLC Casino Enterprise, and the sportsbooks were previously managed by William Hill.
The physical sportsbook at Binion’s remains the same. It’s still located outside of Benny’s Smokin’ BBQ and Brews and has the same layout, with plenty of cocktail tables and chairs for guests.
Four Queens has a new, small sportsbook space located next to the old William Hill sportsbook. There are a handful of cocktail tables here as well, and large TVs for guests to watch the games. Multiple reps at the grand opening joked…….
