If you are planning a trip make sure you use www.1000travelsites.com to find the best prices for flights and hotels. They search pretty much every travel provider on the web in a matter of seconds! Then they list the prices from all of the travel providers on one page so you definitely get the lowest price every time. I've tried other sites like this before, but this one aways has the most listings and the best prices. It's like the google of travel searches. I just booked a trip to vegas!!!

MontBleu did have Sigma Derby in September, in what used to be the poker room - enter from the Bill's side and turn left into a bar area. People were generally happy, as they were in close proximity to the cocktail waitress' rounds, and they got what they were there for. For the Sigma Derby players, still the usual 8 consoles, but I think they were all working. Hoping it's still there, 2 months later! Sorry, I forgot to send an update.

I'm very happy to say that the Sigma Derby is alive and well!!! Near the sports book & right next to the "win a BMW" slots. My last trip to Vegas was very disappointing because I could not find the derby in any of the locations that I played it on many trips before. Camels at the Luxor, Knights on Arabian horses at the Excaliber, Bally's, Circus Circus, the torn down Star Dust, etc. Yes, I've played it for a long time! I remember when the Trump casinos in AC had them, they were $1 there. And also played in Tahoe, I think at the old Cesars. I missed it at the Mont Bleu when I was in Tahoe last March but am really glad I checked this site and found out about the machine at the MGM - Thanks guys!!!!!! Any one know of any other locations? There used to be so many of these. I know a few are down the Jersey shore, used for tickets or tokens in some of the arcades, like Skee Ball. Wonder where the rest went. BTW, I did hit a 200-1 today. I was there for about 4 hours and there were a fair amount of long shots. 2 guys at the table actually had 10 coins on the 200-1. I've also played the video derby in the Casino Montreal. That was a great game to play also - lots of fun. It was about 4 years ago. Anyone know of others, or if that one is still there? Just got back from MGM.

I'm going up this weekend, and will check its status. According to Wikipedia, it’s now across the street at MontBleu, a strange location for it. I’m going up this weekend, and will check its status.

I spent most of my last night in Vegas at the table, starting with a roll of quarters and ending up with $100 worth of quarters. :) I then went to the craps table for an hour or so, came back to Sigma Derby to finish off my night, and within a 15 minute span around 3-4 in the morning I saw a 150:1 and a 137:1 hit. It is my new favorite game in all of las vegas and hope MGM keeps it running as long as possible. I'll be going back mid-September and will report as to whether the machine is still up and running.

I believe it has been removed, unless it is tucked away somewhere. What a bummer! I was at Horizon in South Lake Tahoe earlier this month and did not see the derby.

It was my third time out but my first time to find this game. My favorite game out there. I won 100 dollars the first night lost 10 the second but had a blast both nights with most of the same people. My wife would go play the slots and said she would hear the roar of the small crowd and even people around her would say what is that and she would say it's the 25 cent horse race. I'm a KY native and love to go to the race tracks at home. I've been to the Derby at Churchill, Keeneland, but I WILL BE BACK TO BET THE HORSES AT THE MGM!!!!!! Just got back from vegas.

Last time we stayed 3 nights. We played the Derby 2 of 3 and she was upset she didnt get to play the last night. MGM, Please leave the machine and let us play.
