Las Vegas

[Siggie]

Ya of course, every month at least once. I wouldn't be able to do this at first but since I don't hardcore party and drink like a maniac anymore I can take the rigors of Vegas a lot more now . Not to mention I've been winning past two times.

BTW, I was at a wedding and I left and came home at 11:00 pm, yup something is definitely wrong with me.

Anyway, I have a new idea I'm going to try out. The double bet method, which is doubling your bet everytime you lose a bet. The thing is with blackjack this is an average method because you can lose 7-8 hands in a row in blackjack, it's quite possible, so you don't want to end up putting 1000 dollars on your 6th or 7th bet. Pai-Gow on the other hand is a game where it is almost impossible to lose even 3-4 hands in a row. So I'm gonna try the double bet method on Pai-Gow and see how I do. Start betting 50 dollars a hand, if I lose , I'll put 100, and if I lose 3 times which is extremely rare I will put 200. Once I win I'll go back to 50 again and repeat this process. There is a lot of pushing in this game also. I think it might be a good strategy.

I read somewhere that in general that's a really bad idea.

I was just reading this thread from the beginning and realized Emil you haven't been to Vegas for over 10 years. A lot has changed so what are you waiting for, plan a trip and get going .

Once I get myself a steady job I shall go. I am going to play blackjack and the slots and win millions of dollars. :-)

Theres a lot to do now aside from only gambling. When you go, let me know. I'll tell you a few more things you can do aside from these: Go see "O" at Bellagio, very nice show. Eat at Wolfgangs restaurant at Venetian or Caesars. I don't know if you're into clubs or bars, you seem more of a bar type , The Hotel at Mandalay Bay on one of the highest floors has a very nice bar, a lot better than ghostbar at Palms. When you're in the bathroom you can actually see through the windows and have a nice view while unloading . And then theres Hoover dam if you want to see it. Spa's are great too, get a massage , go to the sauna. I'll post more when you're ready to go. I get excited for others that haven't gone for a long time . Most people don't do anything so they don't like it. I used to be like that, I would be a degenerate gambler and all I would do is gamble and lose and hate Vegas, but once you do all the other things and a few more which ill P.M you when you go, you'll love it. Oh and if you don't know how to play poker, learn it, you'll have a blast drinking a few beers and playing for hours with friends or just fun people at the table.

I wanna go to Vegas. Any tips on getting a descent cheap hotlel room?

Go weekdays .. check travelocity ... sort by price .. then check the hotel websites for each one that have good deals on travelocity because sometimes they'll have better deals on their own sites.

Try to stick to the strip ... the extra money is worth it. But off strip, there is Hard Rock Cafe which is usually very expensive but sometimes has great deals and accross from it is Alexis resorts that sometimes has great prices. That area is pretty happenin and also close to the strip.
