Yahoo Sportsbook now open at the Venetian Resort Las Vegas

Completed in time for the biggest sports betting season of the year, Yahoo Sportsbook powered by William Hill, is now open at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas.

The state-of-the-art venue spans more than 12,000 square feet and features a 46-million-pixel, 1,770 square foot LED video wall that can display up to 40 independent sporting events at once. There are an additional 30 TVs spread throughout the sportsbook to ensure fans don’t miss a minute of the action.

“We wanted to create the best place on the Strip to watch sports,” said Patrick Nichols, president and chief executive officer of The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. “This redesign pulls through the relaxed feeling of watching a game with your friends – plush sofas, lounge chairs, great game-day eats with the convenience of betting powered by William Hill. And through the partnership with Yahoo, we’re sure to have additional surprises in store for our guests as we move into football season and beyond.”

Plush sofas and lounge chairs provide seating for 105, and for guests looking for an elevated group viewing experience, two Fan Caves are available. The Yahoo Fan Caves provide a unique and luxurious space with everything needed for the perfect gameday viewing experience including two 98-inch UHD 4K guest-controlled displays, food and beverage service, and seating for eight or 12. Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer and Noodle Asia will provide special menus for the sportsbook and Fan Caves, serving an array of game day favorites.

"We are excited and privileged to launch the Yahoo Sportsbook in partnership with The Venetian Resort Las Vegas," said Ryan Spoon, president of Yahoo Sports. "The Yahoo Sportsbook will offer sports fans a fabulous setting to enjoy games in a one-of-a-kind, branded environment. This partnership is another step in our ongoing commitment to engage and delight sports fans through our Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Fantasy platforms."

A centrally located oval bar seats 29 guests and features 10, 65-inch 4K LED screens to ensure optimal viewing from all angles, as well as a 97-foot, high-resolution ticker displaying live odds and scores.  With table games close by and bar top gaming featuring the newest games, fans have several gaming options at their fingertips.

“We are thrilled to power this new sportsbook on The Strip,” said Michael Grodsky, vice president and head of west region digital operations at William Hill US. “Our market-leading tech has provided a best-in-class retail sportsbook experience in Nevada for a long time, and we can’t wait to bring this high-powered partnership to life for more sports fans alongside our new William Hill mobile sports wagering app.”
