VEGAS!

hey everyone! I figure some people may be looking to relax from the superbowl for a bit. I have my first trip to Vegas booked in march. 7 days/6nights and Caesars. Anyone got any tips for how to make a dollar last? Like good deals, coupons, tournaments are going on?

7 days is way too long for Vegas man... I predict you're broke in 2!

I think 2 nights and 3 days is perfect because you get delusional after a while!!

i agree...i am pretty scared. The orginal plan was 3 nights 4 days...but than my friend won 15k in an online poker tourny...so hes paying for our flights and hotel at caesars for 6 nights...there are 3 of us going including him. Any ideas?

Your buddy is paying for the flight & the room & you're still looking for a way to stretch a dollar?

Walk to the Hoover Dam and back. That should kill some time - won't cost you anything either.

There is so much to see if you have never been there you'll be fine.

You don't have to gamble 24/7. You can do a "bar crawl" from casino to casino & check out them all out.

Play $1.00 Keno game at each place (that still has Keno).

Pool some money with your buds & play a little on slots or whatever up and down the strip or downtown.

Get your pale cheeseheaded-ass out by the pool & get some color - that's free too.

Talk about a GREAT friend. 

Dude

Pace urself

 

Have a daily stop loss!!!!!!

If u lose all ur cash on day 1 or 2, u will be miserable.  Let's say u bring 4200 dollars with u, that is 600 a day!!!   It sounds like u like POKER, play in a tourney or two, great way to have fun and kill time.  I have been to Vegas for over a week, many times, u just have to pace urself, enjoy the pool, go out at night, have a good dinner, and just enjoy it!!!  A good night out is have dinner at the bar at RAO  at Caesar's, head over to the TROP and see a comedy show, and come back and play black jack with the box Cat dolls in front of Pure at Caesar's..................

The Mirage right next door has a great poker room, with some nice tournaments.....

Money management

3 nights 4 days vegas!!! Shot at the end, hard to stay longer. Pace yourself and practice money management. Nothing worse than running out of money! Enjoy!!!!

good one frank da tank, was thinking the same thing, maybe a dollar shrimp cocktail down at golden gate might be big fun for the weekend--  

There are four of us that kinda work thogether. So if one of us hits big, we all benefit one way or the other. So when my buddy won he thaught of the idea...wasn't gong to argue haha

Thanks for the ideas. I have a "money loss" system. I am planning on spending time at the pool, seeing things, etc. That will also be be NCAA tourny time when im there, so I will spend some time the sports book. Any ideas of casinos or games I can slip away to for a while if things get tight? For example: I see at hooters they have a $3 min blackjack, rather than the 5 and$10 min. I also see a a daily $50 poker tourny at Planet Hollywood, etc. Thanks for the info...any other ideas are more than welcome! Thanks again!

Frontrow..thanks for the link..i will be sure to check it out!

try catching a show!
I hear the Danny Gans show is to die for!

FrontRowCenter is giving great advice.  Set a limit for each day.  If you lose your limit for the day then just people watch, drink etc but just walk away.

I have won and lost money in vegas...but every trip was a blast.

why don't you go get a street walker , see the blue man group , and then you try baccarat and then maybe try putting a roulette ball up your ass ....

Do your research on Vegas.com and other similar sites, you will get great info on all the various bars and clubs. Two must places to hit, Carnval Court which is on the strip just outside of Harrahs, the second is the Dueling Piano Bar in NYNY, two of the most fun places in town, plus there are a ton of drunch chicks there.

6 nights in vegas is 2 many            u will b ready 2 go by the 4th day   best of luck

I played every morning in the Planet Hollywood $50 buy-in tourney and cashed in every one but the last (just not patient enough).  With low stakes comes the action junkies.  Not too many good players, which is both a blessing and a curse.  When I was there last if you had a players card (register for it) you could get an extra 3,000 chips for $5 more.  Of course everyone does it so do it.

The only problem I had with this tourney is that it is a rebuy tourney, so the fish will keep rebuying over and over and over until (1) they are broke or (2) the rebuy period it up (I believe after the third or fourth level).  So you should work out a stragety of whether you are planning on rebuying and if so how many times.

I personally never rebought once in any of the tourneys that I played in.  (1) I don't believe in it and (2) a rebuy stragetically puts you at a substantial disadvantage to the rest of the field so I would rather wait for another tournament where we are all on the same starting point.

Due to this rebuy my stragety was to not gamble (i.e. coin flip situation or worst) with a fish unless I had the nuts or a great draw to the nuts (then on the draw I would try to get there as cheaply as possible).  Also, I wanted to make an early repetition as being a rock so that the fish get out of my way when I raise.  This also really  helps when you get to the final table.

All in all each tournament I played probably ticked off two hours to five hours of the day.  So if you consistently go deep in tournaments this is a great way to kill some time.

Otherwise, as everyone said go walk around, check out the free shows, free attractions, forum shops, hang by the pool, hell just people watch.  You will meet a very interesting array of people in Vegas.  BOL!

I recommend checking out the fitness room/gym at Caesars and working out at least three times in your seven days. It will make you feel A LOT better b/c you are getting some exercise.

You're there during the Big Dance, so enjoy it. Try to wake early so you can watch all of the games on television. Pick a Cinderella team you have no connection to and cheer them on. There will be fans from schools in the Big Dance there, so walk around the sportsbook and talk to some of them. Get there early, b/c those seats fill up fast.

Enjoy the Garden of the Gods pool, especially the European sunbathing area.

Go visit Ellis Island Casino and Microbrewery at least once to eat their steak dinner.

Go off the Strip to the Hofbrau Haus at least once.

Go to downtown and watch the light show one night.

 I'll always make it a point to do something away from the casino I am staying in every day, just to force myself to get out and exercise a little.

just go see the lions at mirage for a good time...dont drink everyday and u will last if that possible...clubs maybe two or three nights at least to see tail...u must leave the casino to see reality and realize your still a human..
