The Parlay

Balls: Sportsbook Bar and Grill

3325 Las Vegas Blvd; 702.607.7777

Jay-Z's defunct 40/40 Club could've been a magnificent sportsbook -- 70 HD big-screens, stadium-style couch seating, Strip-level patio living rooms, and VIP game rooms w/ tables of the foos and pool persuasion -- except you couldn't make bets there, and it was rarely open except for nighttime parties. Now the Palazzo's rededicated the 24,000sq ft space to day-and-night watching/wagering, with five new betting windows that'll take action on everything this side of the over/under on the Atlantic City 40/40 going bust.

Stay: Palms Place Penthouses

4831 W Flamingo Rd; 702.932.7777

The 47th-floor penthouses that didn't sell (for $2-5mil) have been opened for hotel stays, letting even day-trippers bask in 1300-3100sq ft of Brazilian hardwood and Italian marble, decked out with a pool table (in the largest suite), floor-to-ceiling windows w/ mountain and Strip views, and jacuzzi-pools that hang over the side of the building, for the most thrilling game of Marco Polo ever.

Book: Tix4Tonight

At 9:30am, all of Vegas's shows and restos release their fire sale seats; hit any of the five T4T mini-shops to pick up half-price fancy dinners, canceled tee times, event tickets, even strip-club discounts. You can't buy online, but the website gives you a taste -- which in the case of "50% off Dirty Hypnosis Unleashed", is straight up salty.

More Gratuitous T&A: Zumanity Waterbowl Game

Cirque du Soleil's turned their "sensual side" show into a pervy online game, where players are expected to match patterns of flashing buttons while avoiding getting distracted by uber-flexible lesbians doing almost-naked synchronized swimming. The better you do, the more erotic the swimmers get, at least according to people that give a crap about matching flashing buttons.

Juice: OJ Talk

Follow the re-trial of the century (and Vegas' newest headliner) via this website that promises 100% Juice: news, trial updates, and legal docs, along with an exploitive store selling hats, t-shirts, mugs, "Squeeze the Juice" stress balls, and #32 jerseys in either "innocent" or "guilty" (your choice, not some stupid jury's).
