Westgate SuperBook is a long time favorite sports book for many. I had an amazing time here.
I came here several days in a row to watch sports and consider sports bets. I parked in the free lot, played the piano and witnessed the world as my fellow Americans and international tourists smiled at me and each other while we rooted for our favorite teams.
Visitors are encouraged to play the house piano in the lounge just after you enter. Take an Instagram picture at the sunflower covered wall. Admire legendary sports icons like Muhammad Ali in tribute galleries as you stroll past the gift shops on the way here.
The Westgate Super Book attracts an awesome collection of everyone. Like Las Vegas. The city of Las Vegas is made up of a hard-working huge-hearted diverse community of people who put on the big show-stopping glamorous production of Vegas every day. On top of that beautiful baseline, regular folks and travelers from all over the US and the world come to Vegas to be shown a great time. So, if you're looking for a good view of the world, come here. If you want to know how many people agree with your philosophy, put it on a sweatshirt and come here. That's what I did. "Everybody vs Racism" How many people agreed with that philosophy here? EVERYONE. ****Applause***
Sports did a great job of bringing people together during trying times and the pandemic too. I'm watching the year's sports highlights with other sports fans. Knees taken. Innings sat out. Masks with meaningful messages. Helmets covered with important, inspiring words and tributes.
The next part is kind of special, personal and almost magical. I was admiring sports highlights on my birthday, reflecting about everything we've been through as a community, country, planet.
I remembered the hard times when some of us were made to feel like the American flag didn't belong to us. I remembered how sad I was when some of us were discouraged, especially people of color. I know what it's like to be discouraged too. So here I am on my birthday, the trunk of my car is filled with Christmas lights to make a patriotic peace sign, I'm loving my time in Las Vegas and all the smiles and compliments my smile and sweatshirt has just collected when I hear the good news about an American athlete coming home. Best birthday present ever. I looked around to see who else was crying happy tears like me. We smiled at each other.
Afterwards I watched sports for a while. The people who work here, the people who come here and the people putting sports headlines on the big screens here are absolutely stunning.:) Cheers fellow sports fans!
