In April, I inquired at the Mirage as to when the sports book changeover would take place. We have a Hard Rock sports book here in Bristol, 30 miles up the road. I was curious as to when the MGM/Mirage book would switch to Hard Rock. I was told it wouldn't likely happen for at least two years, so that jives with what's being reported here.
1) Who cares?
2) How 'bout them Washington Foreskins or whatever they call themselves now?

Once upon a time, I did reports on how to go to LV and survey sports futures in as efficient and elegant a way as possible. I explained what books were under what aegis, which were likely to have vanilla versus end-of-bell-curve numbers, and what sequence to visit them in so as to streamline parking and walking. Those interested in football futures betting generally do so in July and August. Therefore, pinning down if and when Mirage changed to Hard Rock has some utility for sports bettors shopping for futures. It was possible, given the Mirage's historical (if not current) handle, that a Hard Rock takeover could indeed begin with the sports book while the rest of the place caught up as it transitioned.
So I thought my post had some relevance.
Mr. Lewis, with his signature politeness, evidently disagreed. Fair enough, Mr. Lewis. You have the floor. Have a good one.
Robert, I was referring to the corporate changing of hands, not your sports betting experiences.
I seriously doubt that who owns that joint is going to make a discernible difference. It's all really just one corporate casino megablob, touting the fiction that they are competing with one another.
No slight intended.
