The State of Gambling in Nevada
Nevada does not have a racetrack nor does it operate a state lotto, but apart from that there is a green light for gamblers to indulge in their passion statewide.
The world-renowned city of Las Vegas is seen by many to be the capital of gambling not only in the USA but also worldwide. Tourists flocks from all four corners of the globe to come and play on the Strip.
Sports betting has been fine since 1949 and having been grandfathered in when the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act came into place in 1992. Since, it has become easily the top destination for those looking to place legal sports wagers in the states.
Since the Supreme Court struck down PASPA as a violation of the 10th amendment, that position has been challenged with other states moving towards legalization of sports gambling, but Nevada is still miles ahead of everywhere else.
With no restrictions if you are over the age of 21, casinos are open 24/7 -- so whether you want to sit all night playing blackjack, one-arm bandits or place legal wagers on whatever sport, Nevada is the place for you.
