Las Vegas Gambling

If you come from a state where there is limited to no gambling allowed you may laugh when you see slot machines in nearly every convenience store in town as well as the lobby in the airport the minute you get off the plane. You can find cheaper limits at the smaller casinos and those downtown like the La Bayou Casino. That means you can play nickel slots and drink all night or sit down and comfortably play $5 a hand on blackjack or $5 a spin on roulette whereas if you hit the first class joints on the strip it may cost you $25 for ONE hand of blackjack.

I once lost 13 hands in a row. Do the math. Like Patricia Arquette said in my favorite movie of all time True Romance..."it goes the other way too" and so it does. Kelly and I had a wild night at Paris where we won 4 out of 5 hands for a solid 90 minutes. We just couldn't do anything wrong. The dealer busted, we didn't. We left with $3,900 after buying in for $600 and that is serious fun with Las Vegas gambling.

Then there is the chance of hitting a big slot jackpot. If you are smart and play MAX coin in, you have a chance of winning the progressives on many slot machines that go well above a million dollars. Remember gambling, or gaming as those in the biz call it, should be fun or what's the point. Pick a table full of laughing fun people and you may have fun too.
