No ticket is needed, the cocktail servers come around in the racebook like the good old days. If you’re betting horses, we were surprised to be told you don’t have to bet anything. Of course, if you bet $50 on a game, it shouldn’t be too difficult to talk your way into getting a third ticket. $20 per ticket at the local casinos seems to be the standard when betting sports, which is far friendlier than many of the strip sportsbooks which require bet sizes upwards of $100.

With the days of free drinks inside the sportsbook being long gone, it is nice that you don’t have to bet too much at Sunset Station to obtain a drink ticket. If you want to watch the game a little more privately in a non-smoking environment, Club Madrid is a great option and the type of amenity most sportsbooks do not offer. Club Madrid has its own bar, so the only thing missing is a betting window. There are many small round tables and chairs along with booths. There are three giant screen TVs, a handful of smaller ones, and great sound quality. It is dark, and a large private area to hang out, drink, and watch the games. It looks like a large VIP area, but it is open to anybody and is a short walk from the sportsbook. Sunset Station’s most distinguishing characteristic is its Club Madrid. If you want to cash out, you no longer have to do it at the sportsbook. The Station Casinos app, which includes Green Valley Ranch, Palms and Red Rock is even more convenient than it’s ever been, allowing you to directly link you bank account to the app. The betting apps are a huge convenience and have quickly turned into a sportsbook standard. You can start an account for free, and once you’re set up you can bet on the go during sportsbook hours as long as you’re within Nevada boundaries. There are separate accounts for sports and horses.

If the line is long, or if you just don’t feel like getting up to bet, you can open an account and download the Station Casinos app. Considering the size of the sportsbook we thought there might be more cashiers, however, since lines are usually short enough, we don’t think this is a big deal. The betting board is large and completely visible. There is plenty space to move around in, so you don’t have to contest with anyone getting in your way as they come and go. However, one should definitely get there ahead of time to get a good seat for big events.

Traffic and Viewing Abilityīeing that Sunset Station is a local joint, we don’t expect it to be too full on a nightly basis.

There is only one big screen TV in the racebook, but there are over 20 total TVs which are spaced out into two rows in case you are sitting in the back. Since the book is large enough that you can’t see every event from everywhere, this was a big plus. Some racebook desk TVs only show the races, but these allow you to watch the other sports as well. The seating is the traditional desk row style, with each seat having its own TV. The racebook seating takes up a lot of space and can comfortably hold well over 100 people. Behind those are a bunch of high tables and chairs to go with some counter seating. Seating on the sportsbook side is comprised of 6 rows of about 55 leather club chairs. This is a large sportsbook for sports and horse bettors alike. It is close to the casino floor, but far enough away that noise does not seep in.

The sportsbook is properly located away from the center of the casino, and it conveniently has a marked direct entrance from the parking lot. There is a non-smoking section in the racebook section, but smoking is allowed in each of the four sportsbook’s corners. The sound quality wasn’t great, but we felt it was good enough.

And since each big screen can be divided into four small screens, the lines going through them make for a mild distraction.

Each row has a big screen, but neither is especially big. The sportsbook seems to be aimed more at its horse players given how the seating is arranged, but there are close to 20 TVs for the sports bettors, and they are separated into two rows in case you are sitting in the back. Like most local Las Vegas casinos, Sunset Station isn’t especially mind blowing compared to what you can find on the strip, but we were very satisfied with what the sportsbook had to offer. Its theme is the Spanish Empire, and its business mainly comes from the town’s locals. Situated in Henderson, Sunset Station has been open since 1997 and is part of the long chain of Station Casinos.
