The Las Vegas Strip’s first new casino in three years will feature a William Hill-operated sportsbook, the company announced early Thursday.
The sbe-owned SLS Hotel & Casino, located at the old Sahara on Las Vegas Blvd., is planning to open sometime next Fall. The announcement caps off a big week for William Hill, which rolled out an updated version of its mobile betting app on Wednesday.
“We are delighted to be partnering with sbe as they create a new Strip experience with SLS Las Vegas,” said Joe Asher, CEO of William Hill US. “As we move toward opening next year, we look forward to working with them to create a world-class sports book environment.”
William Hill currently has 12 sportsbooks scattered throughout Las Vegas, with most of them found downtown at places like The D, Binion’s and the Plaza. Before adding the SLS to its roster, the only Strip location was at The Riviera.
According to a release, the sportsbook will feature an expansive HD video wall and plans to offer in-running wagering on several games.
Construction at the SLS is already underway.
