Can you make legal football bets via a sportsbook at a Las Vegas Hotel
on the internet with a legitimate hotel that of course has a
sportsbook? I am not looking for a sportsbook offshore, but just in
Las Vegas. The sportsbook would have to cover all sorts of football
bets such as teasers, money line, parleys, 1 team  bets etc. If the
above answer is affirmative, please list a few hotels and how to
contact them to post monetary sums as a source of the betting. thank
you. If the answer is negative, e.g. you cannot do this legally, I
will accept that also... thanks

hi googlenut. thank you for your answer. your answer though does not
clarify my question. what it seems to say is that they do not
authorize gambling but it does not say it is illegal or against the
law. i will call some hotels and see if in fact if it is illegal. if
so, i will accept your answer. thank you. i may not call today
though.......fredg2004

Hello fredg2004-ga,

I will repost the information here in the answer box so that we can
close out the question.

I believe that making football bets via the Internet with a Las Vegas
hotel is illegal based on the information provided below.
