Does Westgate or Circa Have the Biggest Sports Book?

It appears as though both Westgate and Circa are claiming to have the world’s largest sports book. You can find their claims on their websites. What’s the real story? If one truly is larger, I would think they would have an issue with the other’s claim.

Our wisdom is far from Solomonic, so we've split this particular baby with difficulty.

Despite our very specific queries, Circa was rather vague in its answers, so we can't definitely award an accolade. But here are the particulars.

Circa’s video wall is 78 million pixels. Westgate’s is 65 million pixels and covers 4,000 square feet. Circa hasn't given out the square footage of its display, at least that we could find. Still, Advantage: Circa.

Westgate has 19 walk-up betting windows and no self-service kiosks, although some might be added. Circa wouldn’t say. Advantage: Westgate.

Square footage: Westgate's sports book is 30,000 square feet. Circa doesn’t say. Advantage: Westgate.

Seating capacity: Westgate’s book has room for 380 tuchases, Circa’s for 1,000, in three stadium-style tiers. Advantage: Circa.

Dining options: Westgate has an attached restaurant, which sports book supremo Jay Kornegay describes as “great real estate to watch sports.” Circa has catering by Victory Burger & Wings Co. and Project BBQ. Advantage: draw.

Smoking: Circa permits it. Westgate doesn’t. Advantage: Westgate.

Westgate also offers a dedicated area for horse racing, each seat coming with its own TV set, plus interactive terminals which allow bets to be placed from one’s seat.

Although Circa fudges some of the metrics behind its claim, it appears to take the palm for preponderance. However, we think that for a variety of amenities and the absence of smoking, Westgate would be our choice. But that’s ultimately up to you.

It's Westgate by a mile

Because Circa has one crippling disadvantage it can't overcome: it's in Circa. What did you say? IT'S IN CIRCA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU, IT'S TOO LOUD IN HERE!!!

I think Kevin hits his refresh key non-stop so he can chime in first every day for the QOD.

YES KEVIN!

Depends on the time of day but in the evening and especially weekends Circa is almost unbearable to even play slots in the music is so loud. Even if it's good music.

Circa silence

I think Circa not coming clean with the Sq.footage of their screen, says it all. Anyone can claim pixels and you can get a better quality picture, but if you have something to hide, fess up. To me, Westgate has that WOW factor, where Circa doesn't. To me.

another word!

Tuchases.  Definition:  Buttocks (I had to look it up!).  As in...butts in the seats.  Love it!  

Not only does LVA provide much Las Vegas/casino/gambling/etc. info, they improve my vocabulary.  Who can do better?  LOL.

WHAT???

I have to use earplugs in order to go into Circa.  Same with Golden Gate.  Dealers at both places have told me they suffer hearing loss.

Well done

Another excellent review, as are all comparisons and differences done here of many LV venues.

Re Tuchases:  New word for me.  But I recall, as a kid getting interested in girls, we used the term "tukus","tookas" (never saw it written) when referring to a girl's behind.

Likely came from the melting pot of the many ethnicities in the PA steel mill town I grew up in ...

Tuchas

Tuchas/tochis/tuchis is Yiddish, from Hebrew meaning "under" or "behind".  The "ch" is guttural, like you're generating a load of spit.

The word spread from the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe to the non-Jewish communities, to both when they came to the USA.

Ah, the joys of having a copy of Leo Rosten's "The Joys of Yiddish" on the bookshelf.
