Cantor Race & Sports Book at the Tropicana Las Vegas Review
When the Tropicana Las Vegas reinvented itself as a swanky South Beach-style joint, sports bettors were probably left wondering, "Where's the love, Trop?"
After going a while with just one walk-up betting counter, the "new" Tropicana Las Vegas received quite an upgrade from Cantor Race & Sports to go with its new look. The state-of-the-art, 4,200-square-foot sports book features 25 high-definition TVs, three of which are jumbo-sized, so you won't miss a minute of the action from anywhere on the betting floor.
In fact, you won't miss the action anywhere you go in the resort: With Cantor Gaming's mobile sports wagering application, you can place prop bets from anywhere in the state of Nevada.
You might not see that field goal if you're out and about, but you'll definitely see the money you just made from it.
