Do sports books show HBO & Showtime fights?

I go to boxing matches often in Las Vegas, but I do not know if the Ls Vegas Sports books show HBO and Showtime boxing shows. I would like to sit, watch, and quite possibly wager on an up coming visit. Not talking Pay Per View but just a regular saturday fight night that HBO and Showtime have regularly throughout the year.

Thank you.
Apparently not, I have been told. Not in Nevada was the answer from the Bellagio Sport book when I called. The woman did mention that certain lounges may carry some of the larger fight cards. In the case of Bellagio, my understanding is that Lilly Bar & Lounge often carries the event.
Usually not. I've never seen them. Just not enough betting action to warrant replacing whatever major sport is "In Season" for sure no
way during football season.
You'll likely see this before one of those fights on the sportsbook big screen....


Lol, Blade.

I knew the pay per views were not, but I really did not know regular HBO and Showtime were not shown. I am usually at the fight and never had to think about it.
According to Vegaschatter, this weekend's big Pacquiao-Rios fight will be shown in the Venetian Ballroom ($50) and Lagasse Stadium (food & drink minimums).
Thank you Chilcoot. That is not a bad price for a PPV fight considering it was 59.99 (69.99 for HD) to buy it at home. Hopefully one of the lounges has it the 14th. The fight was originally scheduled to be in Las Vegas. It was made official, ok's by the Nevada commission, etc. Next thing I know (after flight booked) they change the site to san Antonio. lol

San Antonio? The fight was in Macau, China.
No yo eleven, I am talking about the fight this week. The Broner/Maidana card was the one I booked for in Las Vegas and changed to San Antonio (Sorry for the confusion as I should have separated my two thoughts). In any event I booked my trip to Las Vegas thinking I was going to this fight, but the site got changed. I would like to at least watch the fight somewhere, while I am in Las Vegas.
Boy, I am really coming up empty on this. I checked a few sports bars (the one at NY,NY and LaGasse's Stadium at the Palazzo and they do not show it, I checked Lilly Lounge at Bellagio and it is not currently on their schedule. I checked with MGM to see if one can pay for Showtime in their room and that is not an option. Tried Concierge and they came up empty. This seems crazy to me that there is a boxing match on regular Showtime and I cannot figure a way to see in while in Las Vegas. I have to say, this caught me by surprise.
