Question

Why do casinos in Las Vegas all have an issue about not allowing cell phones in the sports books?

Answer 1

The issue is to maintain what the law says they can do and can't do.  The issue is, " should a company be law abiding?"    The answere is:     "Duh?"

Answer 2

Probably to prohibit whatever it is you're trying to do.

Answer 3

I don't think they have an 'issue' with it.  But the Nevada gaming commission prevent them from allowing it.

I suspect that thanks to some tedious draconian law they don't want to encourage people to take sports bets from their friends in other parts of the States.  Or worse still, they don't want people working as bookmakers, taking bets and placing them.

I wouldn't imagine the casinos would care less, if they were free to do as they wanted.

Answer 4

Because it's the law.
