It’s a different world in Las Vegas, and in Las Vegas Monday night, World Series Game 5 had a winner.

According to the city’s sports books, the final score was Philadelphia 2, Tampa Bay 1. Never mind the half-inning that was played before the game was suspended because of rain -- the top of the sixth, which saw the Rays tie the score on Carlos Pena’s two-out RBI single.

According to Nevada gaming rules, the final score of an official game is determined by reverting back to the last completed inning. Monday night, that would have been the fifth inning -- the Phillies led, 2-1, after five innings. Las Vegas sports books are paying off Game 5 side bets on Philadelphia, with some adding proposition bets for the conclusion of Game 5.
