Golden Nugget, First Nevada Sportsbook With Opening Lines For UNLV Football

Several sportsbooks in Nevada are starting to reveal lines for the most significant college football games of the year. The Golden Nugget, located in downtown Las Vegas, is the premier Nevada casino to unveil lines for each UNLV football game this season.

The Rebels aim to better their performance following a 2-10 record last season. Last year, UNLV managed just one home victory in their inaugural full season with fans present at Allegiant Stadium.

Examining the lines, it seems feasible for the UNLV football team to make minor progress this season. It’s likely that the Rebels will still remain below .500, but if the favored team wins every game, it would be a slight improvement from the previous season.

Rebels football fans will be pleased to know that UNLV is favored to win in four games. However, the downside is that the team is expected to be the underdog in eight games.

Should the favorite emerge victorious in all the games, UNLV will conclude the season with a 4-8 record, eliminating their chances of participating in a bowl game at the season’s end. Nonetheless, this would represent an advancement compared to the previous season.

UNLV football schedule and opening lines

This year, the Mountain West Conference (MWC) will retain its two-division conference format, with a schedule akin to those of previous years. However, next year, the MWC plans to abandon the conference divisions, opting instead for a championship game between the top two teams.

The season opener will see UNLV as a huge 27-point favorite playing on their home court against the Idaho State Bengals. However, for the subsequent three games happening in September, the Rebels are expected to be the underdog.

This season’s road schedule for UNLV is going to be extremely challenging. The Rebels are starting off as a double-digit underdog on the road, facing non-conference teams like California and Notre Dame.

If the team intends to improve on its 2021 season, UNLV will need to defeat Idaho State, North Texas, and New Mexico at Allegiant Stadium.

The pinnacle of the season might be the final match against the Nevada Wolfpack in Las Vegas. The Rebels start as a one-point favorite against their northern intrastate adversaries.

Should UNLV secure a victory, they would also claim the Fremont Cannon for the first time in three years.

This is the football schedule for UNLV and the lines from Golden Nugget:

Cheap price to visit Allegiant Stadium

The UNLV Rebels and the Las Vegas Raiders both call Allegiant Stadium home. This domed stadium is a sight to behold and offers many attractions. Situated near Mandalay Bay and Luxor, there is much to explore at this new stadium.

Attending concerts and football games at Allegiant Stadium can be expensive. Likewise, even a guided tour of the stadium can be a pricey affair.

The starting price for a guided tour of Allegiant Stadium is $59. When a drink and snack are added, the ticket price rises to $80.

Currently, the secondary market has the priciest tickets for Raiders games in the NFL. The cheapest regular season tickets available for Raiders games on Stubhub are starting at over $200.

Fear not, UNLV football presents a significantly cheaper alternative to experience Allegiant Stadium. Besides exploring the stadium, visitors can also enjoy a football match.

You can get tickets for UNLV games at Allegiant Stadium starting at a mere $24. When the Rebels go head-to-head with the Nevada Wolfpack at home games, premium seats can cost anywhere between $93 and $126.

Aside from the ticket prices, UNLV football games don’t attract as large of a crowd as other football games or concerts. This results in fewer people milling about the stadium, making self-guided tours less crowded.

The blend of low ticket prices, smaller crowds, and proximity to the Vegas Strip could turn a UNLV game into an enjoyable attraction for tourists interested in visiting Allegiant Stadium, or simply seeking a unique way to pass time in Las Vegas.
