LAS VEGAS–A popular week for sports bettors has made its return to the desert. The third annual Bet Bash, hosted by Gadoon “Spanky” Kyrollos once again descended on Las Vegas this week to provide the country’s most dedicated sports bettors a place to convene.
Kyrollos is a host of the “Be Better Bettors” podcast and has received national media coverage for his exploits as a professional sports bettor. This is the third edition of his BetBash event, the first being held in Atlantic City in 2021. Kyrollos brought the operation to Circa Resort and Casino in Downtown Las Vegas in 2022 and the event returned to the bettor’s palace again this year. By all accounts there has been a massive boost in attendance in year three.
The event kicked off with a cocktail party at the Canada Bar on Tuesday and will continue through this coming Friday evening, with a closing party at Circa’s popular Legacy Club.
Wednesday’s itinerary featured a three-hour speed networking event for its roughly 900 attendees from 9 a.m. to noon. The nightcap was another soirée at the Canada Bar, concluding at 9 p.m.
On Thursday morning, bashers participated in a Downtown Las Vegas scavenger hunt that featured $20,000 in prizes. After that, guests will proceed to Stadium Swim to indulge in a football watch party with open bar and food.
Friday is the most jam-packed day for attendees. The day will once again begin at 9 a.m., this time featuring expert panels at the Circa ballroom. Lunch buffet included, of course. There are four featured panels, including a live recording of the Be Better Bettors podcast. Notable panelists include Darren Rovell of Action Network and Circa Sportsbook operations manger Jeff Benson.
At 5 p.m, the new Sports Gambling Hall of Fame will be unveiled at Circa in front of guests, and at 6 p.m. they will attend an induction ceremony which includes a four course meal and open bar. This is a black-tie affair. The event will conclude directly following the ceremony with a VIP cocktail party, once again at Circa’s legacy club.
Tickets can still be purchased for the remaining portion of the event, starting at $749.
