Las Vegas football betting contest menu: entry fees from $5 to $100K

There are no shortage of high-stakes football handicapping contests in Las Vegas, topping out with the $100,000-entry Circa Grandissimo, the ultra-high-roller version of the $1,000-entry Circa Survivor.

But there are also a handful of much more affordable options, including a $5 Pro Football Kickoff Weekend Jackpot Parlay Card at the South Point. The sportsbook guarantees $25,000 in prize money to the contestant who picks the most winners (with no point spreads) in NFL Week 1.

Station Casinos bettors can turn a $25 entry, or five for $100, into $150,000 in the Last Man Standing elimination pro football contest or $100,000 in the Last Man Standing college football contest.
