Vegas?

I'm going to be going to Vegas next month as part of a business trip and will be there for about 4 days or so. Just wanted to get some ideas from anyone who's been there on what clubs and other night time events I should check out while there. also as someone who doesn't gamble much, about how much should I set aside as a limit on what to use/lose in the casinos? thanks

Only take as much as you can afford to lose.
If you know that $200 is as much as you can afford to lose, then bring that much and stick to it. If it's $400, or $1000, then bring it. If it's $20, then don't bother gambling!

Re: Vegas?

Man, i can't wait till i hit 21. Last week i went up to niagara and gambled. I sat down with 40 at the poker tables and went up to 120 and got dealt poket Ks. I re-raised a raise and got re-raised myself by a tight player. The orignial better folded and i just knew that the guy had Aces. I told him that it was sick. I really didn't have a choice but to go all in at that point and he had to call no matter what he had. I said, i hope you have AK. He had Aces and i busted. Next day sat down with 40 made my way to 100 so i walked out with 20 dollars


I can't be of any help but have a great time.

Re: Vegas?

Vegas is a great time even if you're not a big gambler. There's so much to see, do, eat, etc., it's impossible to get bored there.

From Norfolk....to Vegas for a cab job..? I would think that would be a no brainer if you wanted to be a career cabbie...?

Whole lot more cash flowin in vegas.

Re: Vegas?

If you wanna check out a club, check out Rain. I've heard some talk about it and hear it's pretty good.

I'm afraid to go there. While I have a firm grasp on how to win at Roulette, I am a gamblaholic and I'm afraid I would lose my life savings. So Nevada remains 1 of only 9 states that I have not been to in my life. (soon to be 8 after I go to hawaii in Jan.)
