By the way just got back from The Riviera partying.
Had 4 drinks and came out of the casino $150 richer than when I went in. Not bad!
That's something else to consider when you visit Vegas. The newer, shiny casinos have the slot machines real tight. Hard to win.
The old school ones are much looser and you have a better chance of winning on slots.
Card games and dice are different of course.
Though there are differences in the way BlackJack is dealt at different casinos (again, some of the old school places have the newer places beat in that dept. too)
So if you are staying at a newer casino and don't mind traveling 10 minutes by cab down the street...you can save a hundred bucks a night on drinks and have a much better chance of winning if you are going to try your hand at gambling.
Just some free advice.
