Along with William Hill U.S. Chief Executive Joe Asher and Plaza Hotel & Casino CEO Jonathan Jossel, they turned on an HD video wall on Friday, the largest in downtown Las Vegas, measuring 5-feet-by-16.5-feet wide with a viewing area of more than 80 square feet.

Former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman placed Friday the first bet at the remodeled William Hill Race and Sports Book in the downtown Plaza Hotel & Casino, featuring downtown Las Vegas’ largest seamless HD video wall at five feet tall by 16.5 feet wide, with a viewing area of more than 80 square feet.

Joining William Hill U.S. Chief Executive Joe Asher and Goodman was Plaza Hotel & Casino CEO Jonathan Jossel at a “turning on” ceremony. The Plaza sportsbook was previously refurbished in 2013, which marked the beginning of William Hill and the Plaza’s partnership.

Goodman’s bet was a #100 charity three-team parlay consisting of last week’s New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks and Kansas City Chiefs.

The book, which also received an updated look and feel, also offers bettors access to William Hill’s mobile app, kiosks and InPlay wagering menu as well as Plaza restaurants and entertainment options. The book at the Plaza opened in 1975 and is the longest continuously operating sportsbook in the city, Asher said in a news release.

“When William Hill took over operations in 2012, we wanted to provide the best race and sports experience to bettors and have worked alongside our partners at the Plaza to ensure that holds true today,” he said. “These improvements and updates cement the Plaza as one of the best places to watch a game Downtown.”
