    Everytime I go to Vegas it's a brand new monster. From the old days of eating the buffet at the Sahara to now, it's always changing.

    I've got an Airbnb with 4 buds in a pimping house with a pool and a hot tub about a half mile from the strip. What's the bars clubs I need to know about? The restaurants or secret tricks with the dealers oe waitresses?

    It's been a hot minute so I'm just trying to prep before the trip. I know a lot of you guys are Vegas Pros. Thanks in advance!

    Don't take a cab to a strip club, they will usually send a limo for free and you won't pay a cover so tip to the driver is all it costs

    If you play BJ make sure a BJ pays 3 to 2 before you play, a lot of layouts don't even say BJ pays 6:5 anymore and it's a huge difference in game edge

    Don't buy hookers, ur group should spend that money buying drinks for small gaggles of girls looking to fuk. Always plenty in Vegas.

    Ok sounds good. Was familiar with the last 2 but the first I've never heard of.

    I'm flying in my ex gf for fun but the group I talking about all these day trips out of town which I have no interest in.

    I'm looking for drinking, gambling and penetrating.

    Whilly had a good point, check the odds before you sit down and play. When you play on the strip, they now try to screw you over if you bet say $25 and below. Once you bet more, the table is normal.

    The casino always sends a limo to pick us up and drop us off, but for getting around we use UBer, its quicker and cheaper. They are everywhere in vegas.

    I'm not much of a club person, so can't help you on that note.

    What part of the strip will you be staying, north or south? I can give you eating recommendations.

    I thought that too until I was playing a $25 table at Cosmopolitan and they paid me $240 for my $200 BJ. I can't remember if 6:5 was printed nowhere or in small print at the bottom of the limits sign but it was not at all obvious.

    A few pits over paid 3:2 with the same table limit. Might have been 6 decks vs. 8 decks, I'm not sure but I immediately got up and left of course.

    maybe for old farts, but if you are young, neat dressed and have a few bucks. a group of guys will get to party with a group of girl's
    and have a good chance of getting some action

    if you're going to check out any strip clubs, even though it's most likely the best, stay away from the Spearmint Rhino. it's so over-priced
    and you will be able to find something with better value

    I play at the Mirage/Aria/MGM, you have to look at certain tables at different pits. At least, at those hotels, the tables that are normally $100 min or $50 won't have BJ 6:5

    However, if by chance on a busy night a table that is normally $15 or $25 may be 50, but the 6:5 will still be printed on the table. They are sneaky with it, but just look around, there are a few tables left for higher limit players.

    Yeah I'm not Ronaldo but if I had a nickel everytime a broad told me I look like Adam Levine? That singer guy in Maroon 5,I'd have about 5 bucks. It usual leads to sex /filirting/dating so it's a "good thing".

    I can handle that. Honestly I'm more of a bar/dive bar guy but I get Vegas is more about Djs and shit I'm sure which is fine. I'm huge into EDM so I can hold my own.

    Just the looking for the "places to go" or little tips and tricks at clubs/bars/restaurants/casinos/waitresses that will make my trip smoother. Thanks for your advice

    If you aren't playing high limits, do not go to the fancy casinos. You are much better off gambling at the mid-level casinos.

    They will comp you much more based on your play than the top notch casinos.

    I play about $25 a hand on average. Frankly my friends might want to play lower like $10 because 2/3 are kind of noobs. What are some better "mid level" or low casinos. I don't care if it's divey, as long as it's legit and 3:2

    Also, whatever sportsbook you go to, make sure and get the drink tickets.

    The days of just sitting and drinking all day are long over.

    If you don't get a ticket, they will charge you.

    I like the Mirage, its not the ARIA, but its still very nice and has a decent sportsbook.

    The tables closest to the door are the ones that offer the worst odds, at the Mirage, skip the ones in the front by the sportsbook and to go the pits by the buffet and outside the high limit room. You will be able to get 3:2 bJ there for $25 a hand.

    The Monte Carlo is currently undergoing renovations, so they are willing to comp meals/drinks like crazy. its also located right next to the new Park area that has live music, etc.

    There are a few that have nice sportsbooks...

    The venetian sportsbook is nice, Mirage is not bad, Ceaser palace is big... MGM blows, Monte Carlo blows, Aria is small but decent( they have large screens)

    Thanks bud. You had me and drinks and live music. They used to just bring you a drink and I'd tip the girl a $1 at Ceasars. Do I just ask for a drink or tickets? What's a non dick way to go about it at the table?

    Forgot to mention, Caesers properties offer a 24 hours buffet deal for like $40. Its a good deal if you are on or really close to the strip. You can go to ANY of the properties as many times as you like for 24 hours.

    A few other buffets offer the 24 hour deal, but you have to go back to that specific casino.

    Buddy was talking about getting some "White girl" ,but I know he'll just get straight ripped off so I'm sticking to booze.

    Nice, that would be perfect for me. I can't eat big meals all at once, and am more of a grazer. So 3 small meals would more than be worth the $40

    I guess it depends on what ur looking for

    If you're wanting to get blown in the champagne room then yeah, you would pay a fortune at Spearmint Rhino

    If you just want some lap dances they're all still $20 and there are usually something like 200 girls there during the main shift. Overall quality is as good as you will find and from all over the world. Seriously, where else can you get slapped in the face by from Colombia, Finland, and Japan for $60?

    You might want to splurge and get a room at the Venetian or Palazzo. They're all suites and you can target gaggles from both connected properties to come up and have a party

    Best sportsbook in Vegas is the Superbook at the Westgate. There are a few others that are ok, but they don't compare to the Superbook.
