lol, this happened less than a month after I returned. That same guy was smacking around the lionesses like a pimp.
lol roulette
Too bad about the Sahara. It was fun for low rolling.

Also check online first for coupons if you wanna see a show. I know that for the Lion King, the retail price for my tickets were $130 - the discount booths in Vegas were $100 but I got mine online for $75.
Thanks for all the tips guys. Anyone made the drive before?
Were you being sarcastic?Good advice all around from Dex. The Bellagio and/or Caesar's Palace are the ideal places to stay, both price wise and gambling/entertainment wise. If you really don't care where you stay, then Planet Hollywood is a good choice as well--their game setup is great (be sure to hit up the Pleasure Pit).
Now, if you're gonna gamble:
STAY AWAY FROM SLOTS--biggest bull games in any casino, and there's really no fun to them. Your wives and girlfriends will love slots though, so this gives you an opportunity to get away from them for awhile.
As for Blackjack, it's a sucker's game too but there's actually a couple tables at Caesar's Palace that are single-deck...look for those and play them--you'll have much better luck than the multi-deck tables.
If you wanna learn a new game (assuming you haven't played it before), play CRAPS--the most fun you can have gambling at a casino. The dealers, boxman, and stickman, will be happy to teach you the game, so don't feel intimidated. Once you learn it, you will fall in love with it. CRAPS is a game where you can play for multiple hours and only come away with $20--but still have a uva time.
If you like Roulette let me know, I'll show you an easy system that'll have you winning 70-75% of the time.
Lastly, make sure you get a gaming card (most likely a Harrah's card), and give them to the dealer for whatever game you're playing. Whether you're winning or losing, if you spend money there it shows and you are more likely to get comps. Also, don't be afraid to ask for comps, because they are rarely given unless you are absolutely killing the house
Don't pay one dime for alcohol, it's free if you're playing. Have fun bro, Vegas is my Graceland
Calling blackjack a sucker game, and advocating a winning system for roulette? lol....really?
I've done it a few times. Drive from SA to Albuquerque in day 1 and the rest in day two. It's a push, but doable.
Done it as well. Went out the north way from Austin, through the Texas fan fields, and up through Albuquerque.
Made it in one trip on the way there, but we were just about dying by the time we rolled into Las Vegas at 7 in the morning.
Driving through Hoover Dam was cool, getting absolutely stuck in construction traffic for nearly 2 solid hours on the way back (at the very beginning of a 23 hour drive), not so much.
On the way back, we, too, stopped in Albuquerque, at some Motel 6, which ended up getting raided by the cops right after we paid for our room and parked the car. Not the most comfortable stay in the world, I'll tell you that.
Other than that, though, pretty city.
The bridge over Hoover Dam is completed and opened so it will save you 20 minutes now. Drive safe.
-Go to RIO for the seafood buffet.
-Look for the $2 steak and eggs meals.
-Get one of those football plastic cups and take it home with you so you'll have something to show off to your friends on monday night football.
Ultimately, you are correct. The odds never change, and technically the best odds you will get are 48.6% or something around there. That being said, I've found a betting system that works well for me. It requires a ton of patience, as well as alertness of the other roulette wheels/boards around you. Those aren't 2 qualities people usually have at a casino, especially when they're faced.
This is going to be a convoluted description of the strategy--and it might not work for you--but this has been quite successful for me at all casinos that I've implemented it, including: Caesar's Palace, Bellagio, Planet Hollywood (huge winnings), Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh, Meadows Track and Casino in Washington, PA (big winnings), and the Borgata in AC.
Here's what is needed:
-A casino with multiple roulette wheels (preferably in close proximity, and the more the merrier).
-Roulette Wheels/tables with working electronic boards (showing the last 10-15 winning numbers). Be sure to watch a few spins to make sure the board is listing each winning #, because sometimes they omit some.
If the casino only has one wheel, then you'll be waiting a long time, and it will be frustrating (especially if you lose the first bet). Likewise, if the electronic boards aren't working, then you'll have to eyeball and remember the last several #'s chosen--also no fun.
However, if the place you're betting at meets those two original criteria, then game on. On to the betting...
-Do NOT play the middle, you will not win...Play the outside, as this gives you the best odds. It only pays out 1:1, but you'll win here with a lot more frequency than you'll ever win on the inside.
-I play by the Rule of Five, where trending is the name of the game. This refers to betting Red/Black, High/Low, Odd/Even. Look at the board, and if you see a run of at least 5 straight of one of those categories (be it Red, Odd, Low, etc.), then bet the opposite on the next roll.
-- I would bet at least $25-50 on each bet. Whatever you decide, stick with that same bet. If you're winning a lot and want to up your bets, that's your prerogative, but never double up after a loss to try and recoup your winnings in one shot (gambler's fallacy).
-Never sit down at the table, because you are one-and-done after your bet unless another run of 5 is immediately present. Look at the other boards around you and see if you spot a run. If so, then hit and run that table as well. Keep your eye on the boards constantly and look for imminent runs.
-Because of all the inside bettors, the time between each spin can seem like an eternity, so if you don't feel like playing the waiting game, then just don't play.
Technically, you're facing the same odds as the last 5 rolls (between 48-49%), but I've found this method to be highly successful for me at every place I've played. I highly recommend trying it. People will blindly hate it and that's fine, but give it a shot and if you have the patience for it then i think you will find my method successful.
Another method is betting thirds. Bet 2/3 of the outside, for example: put $50 on the 1st 12 and $50 on the 3rd 12. The payoff on this bet is 2-1, so although you are automatically conceding one of those bets, you could still come out ahead +50. This is risky, but with 24 of the 38 #'s on the wheel covered, it's not a bad bet.
Planet Hollywood in LV and Meadows in Wash, PA were my most successful times because there were multiple wheels with working boards within a stone's throw of each other.
People will bash this, but try it first.
I absolutely despise multi-deck blackjack...it's legal robbery. If you've had success then congratulations to you.
So how much money have you won at roulette?
what does that mean "do not play the middle, just the outside"?
Don't bet individual #'s. Bet high/low, odd/even, red/black
ok i get it. going back to vegas in a month, then going again in august.
You lucky bas
its starting to wear on me. we were there a month ago.
You must live close by...
Why so often, personal or business?
ventura county. just for personal. the wife and kid love it.
You bas .
I've gone the past 2 summers, but my internship my throw a wrench into my plans this year. Been playing some NL Hold Em at Niagara recently.
The only thing I don't like about Vegas is all those mexicans on the strip with the escort cards doing that "click-clack" sound with them. Had that sound in my head for like a week after I left.
i don't get hassled by them anymore. i have a special look that i give them.
I-40 is way more interesting than I-10, since you can stop at the Petrified Forest/Painted Desert, Meteor Crater, and or the Grand Canyon on the way. If you go up to around Amarillo and before turning west there is also Palo Duro Canyon. I-10 just sucks the entire way between San Antonio and Palm Springs, CA. Not that there aren't some really boring parts of I-40 too, but at least there are reasonable things to stop at. Seriously the only interesting stop on I-10 (without making big detours to Big Bend or Guadalupe Mtns) is In N Out in Phoenix.
I'll have to learn that.
I was a Vegas noob when I went last summer, and those cats can smell fresh blood.
I just walk into them and push them out of the way when they step in front of me to hand me that . Much better to just pick your hooker in the casino tbh.
Spoken like a Vegas vet
