Special Edition Boulder City Podcast: Art Manteris at the Skinny Bar
Boulder City resident Art Manteris is known for his years of directing the sports books at more than a dozen Station Casinos across the Las Vegas Valley. But Manteris is one of the OGs of the sports betting world. He started out at the Stardust, probably the most legendary sports book in the world and the basis for the movie, Casino, starring Robert DeNiro and Sharon Stone. From there he went on the the Barbary Coast (now the Cromwell), Caesars Palace and finally he built one of the most famous sports books in the world, the Superbook at the Las Vegas Hilton (now the Westgate).
Manteris is the author of “The Bookie,” a Harper Collins publication, that follows his career and his interactions with famous Las Vegas casino personalities, celebrities and many sports heroes. He reveals the secret behind sports betting in Nevada and explains how the legalization of sports betting across America has changed people’s perceptions of sports in general. He discusses what went right and what went wrong in this nationwide legalization and how to fix the problems.
On January 16, the Monday of President’s Day Weekend at 6 p.m., Manteris will sit down with Roger Gros, the host of the Boulder City Podcast and Editor at Large of Global Gaming Business magazine, for a special edition of the podcast. It will be recorded live at the Skinny Bar in downtown Boulder City, one of the most comfortable and coolest places in town. Manteris will tell many of the stories he discusses in the book—including one which was written up in the New York Post recently—and expand on his views about the current state of sports betting in the United States. He’ll take questions following the podcast and sign copies of his new book.
For anyone interested in sports betting, this is a can’t miss event. No cover or minimum, come enjoy the first live edition of the Boulder City Podcast at the Skinny Bar, 524 Nevada Way, in Boulder City.
Come check out this event on February 16th!
