    At the end of the day it's a casino. The odds aren't in your favor for a reason. I normally go to drink and play poker or Blackjack.

    It's Native casinos but run by whatever state it resides in. They just line their pockets.

    I found the tables to be harder to win. higher mins, and sometimes weird rules.

    went on the craziest card heater at the craps table...had a prior visit where the guy working called 3 7s in a row on the comeout.....always felt funny after that.

    overall who actually wins here? im about break even now

    Look for Baccarat with no house fee (bank fee)....most higher end Indian casinos have this game available. Truly 50/50.

    If you play bj, watch the antes. Generally .50/hand, if you're betting &5/hand, you now have to overcome the house edge plus 10% to grind a small profit. They deal fast and keep the action moving to maximize antes/min.

    Love 'em. My local one has some of the worst slots in the Country. Luckily, I don't enjoy sitting for hours and pressing a button. Blackjack is fair there, and I've done well. Friday, and Saturday night are like taking candy from a baby in the poker room. Football Sunday they give out food, but it's tough tables so I stay home.

    They're fun places to go, basically.

    There are a lot of them within 150 miles of where I live (10 at least) . One place - they call blackjack - Bingo! No face cards - they all just say 10 - Aces are 1's - payouts are the same - Dealer says BINGO when you get one.

    Another place - poorest county in America has state of the art machines - fancy - exactly the same size and shape to each and every machine - fancy games of every kind. They line up in perfectly straight rows - no banks - no pods - perfect symmetrical - a square section on one side for the live games.

    The local places are just catering to compulsive gamblers and degenerates it's not a vacation or a destination and it never will be like Vegas

    I like Indian Casinos because many still have great deals the kind that Vegas does not have anymore. Food, rooms, everything is expensive in Vegas now . Used to be cheap as hell way back. If you lost your cash at least you could still get a cheap steak dinner. Not anymore.

    I like the Avi when we go to Arizona. I have not been there in awhile but they always have some kind of good deal going on. A .99 cent breakfast or a cheap room deal. I did a movie package it was under $40 for a room plus free breakfast plus 2 tickets to their full size Movie theaters which also included popcorn and a soda. Looking now they have a Bed and breakfast deal $80 for 2 nights plus free breakfast. There is a Movie package for 4 people for 2 nights and breakfast and 4 movie tickets for $130. Break it down that is a pretty good deal.

    I went to Native American Casinos way back in the 80's in Michigan... total shitholes with awful odds compared to vegas. I think they have come a far way since then... bit I don't care for casinos at all really anyways. The worst of every demographic can be found in casinos

    JJ curious on your thoughts here. My last trip to Vegas continued to reviel to me the shift the town is seeing from a upper middle class gambling town to strictly two growing demographics, 1) hip hop club scene/ lounge scene.; 2) low end slot and low class excessive drunk scene.

    Really am becoming disillusioned at what LV is turning into. I respect the city for its ability to evolve and cater to what it needs to survive but I'm really considering going exclusive online Sportsbook, and saving my getaways for Bahamas or Key West or Caribbean native islands, really get more bang for your buck, cheaper girls and a little more decorum at the upper middle class places.

    What is your vision for Vegas in 15 years? Are there enough $25- $100 BJ players, roulette players and caps players left to even keep table games on the floor?

    We already know online Sportsbook years ahead of Vegas.
