Key Takeaways

  • Caesars Sportsbook officially took over Westgate SuperBook operations on Tuesday, ahead of the NFL season.
  • The Nevada Gaming Commission approved the partnership last Thursday, clearing the way for the launch.
  • Bettors now have access to same-game parlays, live in-play wagering, and on-site mobile account sign-ups.

Caesars Sportsbook has officially taken over operations at the Westgate SuperBook. The transition went live on Tuesday, just ahead of the NFL season. That approval came from the Nevada Gaming Commission the previous Thursday. Caesars will now run race and sportsbook operations at the longtime Las Vegas venue. The venue keeps its name, though now branded as Westgate SuperBook, powered by Caesars Sportsbook. Caesars Digital president Eric Hession said the pairing benefits both companies. He pointed to Westgate's strong reputation among longtime bettors. Hession added that the update brings more wagering options as football season approaches.

Nevada Approves Deal, SuperBook Transition Goes Live

The SuperBook officially transitioned to Caesars' operation on Tuesday. This shift comes just ahead of the NFL season. Caesars Entertainment and Westgate first floated the partnership back in April. That original agreement still needed sign-off from Nevada gambling regulators. The Nevada Gaming Control Board recommended approval last month. Formal approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission came on Thursday, clearing the way for this week's launch. Westgate's SuperContest handicapping contest remains part of the experience this year. Bettors can now register for Caesars Sportsbook mobile accounts directly on the property. Additional self-service kiosks are also being added throughout the resort. In-person sign-ups are also available for guests who prefer that option.

Same-Game Parlays and Live Betting Come to SuperBook

Caesars is bringing its full sports wagering platform into the SuperBook space. Customers gain access to same-game parlays under the new setup. Live in-play wagering is also part of the update, along with more parlay variations. These features were not previously offered under Westgate's own sportsbook brand. The changes apply to both in-person betting and the Caesars Sportsbook mobile app. Officials say the goal is to preserve the venue's identity while modernizing its technology. The SuperBook's massive viewing screens and physical footprint remain unchanged. Executives from both companies say the update keeps the venue's atmosphere intact for regulars. Customers should notice more flexibility when placing bets going forward.

Westgate SuperBook's Legacy Meets New Technology

The Westgate SuperBook opened in 1986 and spans more than 30,000 square feet. It has long been considered one of the most recognizable sportsbooks in the world. The lines it sets have influenced betting discussions far beyond Las Vegas. Before this deal, it was one of the few solo, independent sportsbooks left in the city. The SuperBook once expanded into eight states outside Nevada. Those out-of-state locations shut down in July 2024.

Westgate President and General Manager Cami Christensen said the SuperBook has defined Las Vegas sports betting since it opened. She said the partnership combines that legacy with new technology and scale.
