    Yeah,

    Give up.

    :p

    Be very frugal with your money there, it's simple to lose it all.

    i know i have a limit of like $120 on gambling no more! wont have more then that on me.

    i hear craps has the best odds of any casino game... no idea how to play it tho

    Never even heard of that to be honest. It's all a big lottery playing in a casino in my opinion, I just play roulette for the fun of it. Don't know of any strategies that will help/work but best of luck and enjoy yourself there. :)

    Stick it all on number 25. :p

    If you go in the strip you will be able to play about 6 hands of balckjack/roulette with $120, most tables in the big casinos have minimum bets of $20 per turn...

    There are slot machines which are very cheap, but if you want to play table games such as blackjack, roulette etc... you will find these tables too expensive. Go to smaller/less well known casinos and off strip.

    If you play poker you will probably find games on at various times within your budget.

    OP best of luck. I'm not aware of any strategies, but having a set bank to play with sounds good.

    Be wary of avoiding crabs is my advice :pac:
    Ah no, take it easy on the gambling, and enjoy yourself!

    21 is the number to have, not 25 xPyro! :D :pac:

    If a really hot stripper wants you to take her home and sleep with her, she WILL rob you. Boards has proven this.

    If you have any interest in horse racing, go to the sportsbook of the MGM (it's one of the best) or New York New York, buy a copy of the racing form, (us version of the racing post) and back a few well chosen horses, best way I found of making money when I was in Vegas :) Go to the nightclub in the Luxor, it's one of the bes,t and the nightclub in Caeser's palace. Enjoy

    Most casinos would have $5 Blackjack tables as their minimum but maybe the likes of the Bellagio/Caesars wouldnt. To the op, if you wanna play Blackjack over there & with your bankroll, id suggest heading for Circus Circus at the end of the strip as they have $3 minimum tables .

    I was there last December but played mainly poker , i found the softest cash games ( $1/$2 blinds ) to be in The Venetian & MGM . The Venetian was the only place that consistently had any games going 24/7 but that was mainly due to the time of year we were there , the Summer would be pretty busy everywhere especially with the World Series of Poker just finishing.

    $120 a day is manageable but if thats your budget for your entire stay then id fear for how long it lasts unless your really sensible.

    On a side note - if your gonna see a show over there i cant recommend Le Reve in the Wynn highly enough - its amazing.

    the only strategy to make your $120 last the day would be to walk very very slowly between casinos.:cool:
