Aces, BetMGM Sportsbook team up: What this means for the WNBA

June 6, 2025

The announcement last week was made in true Las Vegas fashion. It was bold and loud and in the heart of the Strip. Representatives from the Aces, MGM Resorts and a local charity placed their hands on a big red button that they together pushed down. Then the famous Bellagio fountains suddenly roared behind them as water blasted into the sky. They announced a three-year sponsorship between the WNBA team and BetMGM Sportsbook. It was timed for a news release in which the league reached a similar agreement.

Why bettors are avoiding the favored Thunder in the NBA Finals

June 4, 2025

The Oklahoma City Thunder are such heavy favorites to win the NBA title that many bettors are looking for other wagers instead. Professional bettors, in particular, have searched out player propositions and hit the under on the totals rather than take the Thunder at -700 at BetMGM Sportsbook or -650 at DraftKings Sportsbook. Indiana is listed at +500 at BetMGM and +475 at DraftKings for the NBA Finals that open Thursday. The Thunder have won seven games this postseason by double digits, four by at least 30 points.

A new sports festival in Las Vegas is letting athletes use performance-enhancing drugs

May 21, 2025

The Enhanced Games is a sports festival that bills itself as better than the Olympics because it allows athletes to benefit from using performance-enhancing drugs. It will kick off next year in Las Vegas over Memorial Day weekend. The inaugural event in Sin City will feature swimming, track and field and weightlifting. The event is designed to disrupt a status quo in the international anti-doping movement.
