It is, as Jim Nantz has so often put it, "A tradition unlike any other," filled with incredible views and even more spectacular golf.

Take a look below and see who Las Vegas believes has the best chance to win at the Masters this weekend. All lines are courtesy of Jeff Sherman and the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.
