Are you ready for some football? Super Bowl 54 is just over 72 hours away. Millions of Americans will gather around to watch television's biggest spectacle on Sunday evening when the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers in Miami.
No overtime is -1200. So it would take $120 to earn $10. There has never been overtime in a Super Bowl. Yes on the safety bet at the Hilton pays +900. So $10 would make $90. No on that wager is. —Patrick Everson (@CoversVegas) February 9, 2021. Todd Fuhrman of the 'Bet the Board' podcast also had questions about Andrade's wager, as he had initially told TMZ Sports that he sent someone to Las Vegas to make the wager. Since placing bets on off-field events isn't allowed at Vegas sportsbooks, the story immediately seemed phony.
While plenty of people will host Super Bowl parties at their homes, many will decide to watch the game at a bar or restaurant. The Super Bowl also happens to be the biggest betting event in the US on a yearly basis. As a result, thousands will make their way to visit Las Vegas in order to get some action on the game.

The following are the best sportsbooks in Las Vegas for betting on Super Bowl 54.
Westgate SuperBook
The Westgate may not be located on the famed Las Vegas Strip, but the SuperBook is perhaps one of the best places to watch the 2020 Super Bowl in town. The SuperBook calls itself 'The World's Largest Las Vegas Sportsbook' for a reason.
Vegas Bets On Super Bowl
The SuperBook's oddsmakers are constantly updating their 2020 Super Bowl odds and they'll be taking bets on the game all day long. The massive venue occupies more than 30,000 square feet of space that includes over 350 seats and a massive 220-foot video screen.
You can also make a reservation to catch the game in the SuperBook's VIP Section. The venue includes VIP Booths and VIP Pods with ample seating for you and your entire viewing party. A fully-stocked bar and a special food menu will keep you satisfied as you sweat your bets on Super Bowl 54 Sunday.
Caesars Palace
The sportsbook at Caesars Palace isn't the biggest one you'll find in town, but it does feature a recently-reimagined viewing screen comparable to the aforementioned facade at the Westgate.
Caesars renovated its sportsbook a couple of years ago, and the new product is one of the best viewing and Super Bowl betting experiences in Las Vegas. Every seat for the Super Bowl 2020 at Caesars is reserved, and they'll cost you a minimum of $100 just to get in. While the price is a bit high, it's worth it. One of the Super Bowl 2020 packages available to guests features all-included food and drinks. If you don't want that package, Caesars' sportsbook is conveniently located right next to one of the best food courts in Vegas.
While the sportsbook doesn't offer as many lines for betting on Super Bowl 2020 as the Westgate, the VIP seating arrangements makes for an intimate Super Bowl 54 viewing experience unlike any other on the Strip.
Wynn Las Vegas
You'll find the Wynn at the north end of the Las Vegas Strip. While the sportsbook here may still lag behind the Westgate in terms of sheer number of options, the Wynn Las Vegas is likely the most comparable sportsbook you'll find on the Strip itself.
The Wynn features no shortage of big screens and ample, comfortable seating.
Drink vouchers are expensive, but likely worth your while if you're planning on sticking around for the entire game. They can run as much as $250. The overall vibe at the Wynn is a bit more relaxed than the one at the Westgate SuperBook, so if you're in the market for a more laid-back Super Bowl 54 betting and viewing experience, the Wynn could be right up your alley.
Lagasse's Stadium at The Venetian
The Venetian may not be as synonymous with 2020 Super Bowl betting as some of the other options on this list, but you'll be hard-pressed to find a more impressive overall experience. The Venetian is conveniently located right in the heart of the Strip, so you're essentially within walking distance regardless of where you're actually staying.
The sportsbook at The Venetian is larger than the one at Caesars or the Wynn, and Lagasse's Stadium features stadium-style seating that makes it easy to see the game regardless of where you're sitting. You have to wager at least $300 in order to get a drink voucher, which is a hefty price, but putting more money on the game is a good way to make Super Bowl 2020 a lot more exciting.
Lagasse's Stadium is often rated among the best sports bars in Vegas. You'll need to make a reservation ahead of time if you want to get in, but if you're bringing a big party it's well worth your while. You can bet from your table while enjoying some of the best food in town. What's not to like?
Mandalay Bay
Mandalay Bay is situated on the complete opposite side of the Strip from the likes of the Wynn and Venetian. So, if you happen to be on the south side, you'll probably prefer to check out the Mandalay Bay. It's not as easy to get here, but you'll be pleased with what you find when you do.
The Mandalay Bay features one of the biggest sportsbooks in Las Vegas with tons and tons of 2020 Super Bowl betting options. There is also no shortage of seating and TV screens just about everywhere you look.
Best of all, catching the game at the Mandalay Bay is a good way to avoid massive crowds. Because crossing Tropicana Avenue can be a difficult endeavor, most people choose to watch the Super Bowl at some of the Strip's more central locations. The sportsbook, food and bar offerings aren't lacking, to say the least.

Online Betting
The American Gaming Association expects Americans to wager nearly $7 billion on Super Bowl 54. The vast majority of that money will be bet at various Las Vegas sportsbooks and casinos. If you can't make it to Vegas for the Big Game, you can still get in on the action via some of the premier Super Bowl online betting sites.
One of the best things about Vegas is that you don't need to actually go to a casino or a sportsbook in order to bet on the 2020 Super Bowl. BetOnline, for example, has hundreds of prop bets and alternate lines in anticipation of the big game in addition to the standard point spread, moneyline and over/under options. These mobile apps and sites are accessible from anywhere in Las Vegas and are available in all 50 states.
So, you don't even have to leave the comfort of your home or your hotel room if you want to bet on Super Bowl 54 in Vegas. If you're not interested in dealing with noisy crowds, just fire up your favorite mobile betting app to do some Super Bowl betting instead.

If I won the Powerball jackpot, and cashed in for about $250 million, all I would do is sit around and bet on the most random, nonsensical things you could image; like how many times a traffic light goes red in a given hour or how many times Ice T says, 'Yo' in any given episode of Law & Order: SVU.
That's the way I think of proposition bets. They are the wild and wacky things that I would come up with to wager on if I had nothing to do all day.
Proposition bets, or props, are exotic and nontraditional wagers that focus on very specific aspects of a game or event. An example of a common Super Bowl prop bet is wagering on which player will score the first touchdown, or how many yards that the longest successful field goal will be.
'As far as the props, they are more popular than ever,' said Jay Kornegay, executive director of the sportsbook at the Las Vegas Hilton. 'I give a lot of credit to my staff for putting this fun, interesting, expanded menu together. Our guests will have a great time looking and wagering on this year's buffet of propositions.'
Prop bets have gained popularity over the past decade, and are now available on many regular season games for each of the major sports. Wagering on how many yards rushing a certain running back will gain is one common example. However, the staggering amount of props available for this year's Super Bowl dwarves anything that could be concocted for Just Another Game.
During the NFL's regular season, professional or casual players have a plethora of possible wagering combinations to choose from. There are dozens of spreads and totals, and hundreds of permutations that can be acted upon. But with the Super Bowl, there is only one spread and one total. Therefore, proactive books are always looking for interesting and innovative ways to stimulate action.
As a result, you end up with special point spreads, like Pittsburgh -21.5 (+650) or Seattle -10.5. Also, you can bet on whether or not Matt Hasselbeck's first pass attempt will be completed, or the length of Maurice Morris' first rush.
But who comes up with this stuff? Before my interaction with Kornegay, I had developed my own theory. Do you remember The Gimp from Pulp Fiction? I thought that's what he was doing down in the basement of the pawnshop - formulating Super Bowl props.
Needless to say, I was a little off on both sides of that one.
'We have a staff of about 3-4 members that use their imagination to come up with all the different types of props,' Kornegay said. 'Ed Salmons deserves a lot of credit. He is my manager and does a terrific job with the props.'
Crossover bets are one of the more interesting developments concerning prop bets. A 'crossover bet' is a wager that involves very specific aspects of two different sports.
Vegas Super Bowl Proposition Bets
For example, you can wager on which will be higher - the total of Darrell Jackson's receptions or the number of birdies by Tiger Woods in the fourth round of the Dubai Desert Classic. Or, you could drop a dime on the number of Steelers touchdowns against overall goals scored in the Liverpool/Chelsea match. These are just two small examples of this phenomenon, and there are also props involving basketball and hockey.
'It's really not that difficult to come up with the 'crossover' props using different sporting events,' Kornegay added. 'We just figure out what would catch the attention of our players, crunch some numbers, and there you have it. You can almost put up anything that has a number to it.'
Personally, I think props are good fun and I'm intrigued by their seeming randomness. I mean, it's the Super Bowl and we're Americans. We should be able to wager on Pittsburgh's total points (+5.5) against the amount of first-half points scored by the George Washington men's basketball team against Richmond. It's our god-given right, and the Father or Our Country would have wanted it this way.
Exotic and indiscriminate wagering is always something I'm a fan off. Prop bets provide this, and their place and popularity in the Super Bowl Universe simultaneously profits from and perpetuates the extravagance and hyper-importance of The Game. They add to the ambiance and heighten the excitement.
And if nothing else, betting on Pittsburgh to score more points (+10.5) in the Super Bowl than France and Scotland manage in their Championship Rugby Union Match will make me feel like I'm living my Powerball Dream - if only for a day.
