    Not a poker question, so I'm guessing the appropriate place for this is OT.

    I'm going to Vegas on Saturday and have a question.

    At the old Frontier, there use to be a plastic horse racing machine right by the sportsbook. Basically, you could throw in a quarter (or more), pick 2 horses out of the 5 to win, and then they'd race them around (with fake odds). Nothing you would make money on, but a fun time waster.

    The frontier is the only Vegas casino I have ever seen a machine like that in, and now it's closed (and torn down).

    Does anyone know another casino in Vegas that has a similar machine?

    Thanks

    Can't remember if it is MGM or Mirage, but its back by the poker room. These things are fun as shit. Was on my way to poker room.... 3 hours and 100 bucks later I still hadn't played any poker. Very fun

    No, sorry I haven't noticed any. You can however get bums to race one another round the block for a 40oz I am sure. Not sure about what odds the bookmakers would put on them though. Good luck.

    I love those things!! I played them at Ceasers & I think Luxor & MGM Grand has them too.

    EDIT: I haven't been to Vegas in 3 years so don't know if they are still there.

    They are called "Sigma Derby." They have one about 50 feet east of the MGM poker room towards the craps table and they have one near the Hilton sportsbook.

    Probably the best drinking game in Vegas IMO......

    There is definitely one in the MGM.. i played it when i was there in March, but i can't tell you exactly where. It's pretty popular, and much more fun than wasting a few quarters on the slots. One of the guy's like Clay should be able to pin-point it for you.

    Edit: only 16 mins late.. willing2die had the answer and the locale above...

    Yeah the MGM has one but it is such a waste of time.

    A few local casino's here in Calgary had the Sega horse racing machines those were fun as hell.

    Something makes me think the Tropicana has one. Don't quote me on that though.

    thanks for the help, I'll have to stop by the MGM grand while I'm there.

    Please keep posting if you've seen one.
