Southland Memphis Sportsbook Review

Southland Memphis Sportsbook Review

The Southland Memphis sportsbook provides a welcoming, laid-back environment for sports bettors, located just 7 miles west of downtown Memphis, TN. Following a $320 million expansion in 2022, Southland Casino Hotel transformed its longtime dog track into a full-scale casino resort. The sportsbook combines sports wagering with access to horse racing, offering a practical and comfortable space for a range of bettors.

Seating & Layout

Seating in the sportsbook includes oversized chairs with built-in desks, providing a functional space for writing picks or placing drinks. While there are no luxury recliners or VIP sections, the layout accommodates individual bettors comfortably. Groups or those looking for a traditional dining and viewing experience can use the nearby Betly Sports Bar & Grill, which provides full food and beverage service along with additional seating. Horse racing enthusiasts can access ‘The Winner’s Edge,’ a dedicated simulcast racing area featuring rows of monitors and seating designed specifically for wagering.

Screens & Visuals

The sportsbook is equipped with multiple TVs scattered throughout the space. The only large central screen is located in the Betly Sports Bar & Grill rather than the main sportsbook area, so not all seating provides direct views. While this arrangement can feel somewhat disjointed, it still allows guests to follow games and races effectively.

Food & Beverage Options

The Betly Sports Bar & Grill adjacent to the sportsbook offers full-service dining and beverage options, giving guests the ability to enjoy meals or drinks while watching games. The sportsbook itself does not have dedicated food service, but the proximity of the bar and restaurant ensures convenient access.

Reservations / VIP Info

There are no formal VIP areas or premium seating within the sportsbook. Seating operates on a first-come, first-served basis, with groups encouraged to arrive early during busy times.

Other Notable Features

The sportsbook is integrated with horse racing through ‘The Winner’s Edge,’ providing easy access to simulcast betting. Guests can also take advantage of self-service soda machines (free) and choose their own audio using the Tunity app, enhancing the viewing experience. The casino resort offers on-site parking and standard accessibility features. While it is not the most visually immersive sportsbook, its location makes it the primary option for sports betting in Memphis outside of Tunica, roughly 40 miles away.

Conclusion / Overall Impression

Overall, the Southland Memphis sportsbook offers a practical and comfortable environment for sports and horse betting. While the space lacks luxury features and cohesive screen visibility, it is serviceable and convenient for local bettors, particularly as the only Memphis-area sportsbook outside Tunica.
