GAMBLING HINTS
Divide your gambling budget by the number of days of your stay.
Place the daily gambling budget in a separate envelope for each day.
For example: If you are staying 5 days and have $600 put aside for gambling. Mark 5 envelops, 1 for each day of your stay. Put $120 in each envelope. Once your gambling budget for the day is spent, find something else to do. Do not touch another day's envelope.
Your own GREED is your own worst enemy.
DO NOT play: The odds against you are huge!

COMMENT: Learn to gamble at home where it does not cost you anything. Then start in the casinos with small minimum tables or slot machines. Play more downtown (Plaza, Lady Luck etc.) and definitely more at "locals" casinos (Gold Coast, Orleans etc.) There are many Internet sites where you can play at home for free!
WHAT TO WEAR
Yes, Las Vegas is in the desert. And, yes, the temperature gets to be about 115 degrees in the summer. But if you happen to be visiting in the winter (usually from Halloween to Valentine's Day), don't be fooled. A jacket is definitely recommended, especially if the wind is blowing. We know our blood is probably thin from living here, and we may not get blizzards, but consider this your warning -- it's a lot colder here than you'd think. For Spring and Summer, bring lots of changes of shirts. Sweat stains are NOT pretty! Bring one pair of VERY comfortable shoes (You DO end up walking a great deal)
DRESS-CODES:
Bring a pair of NICE dress shoes. This means absolutely no sneakers!!! (You will not get into any of the clubs if you aren't wearing the appropriate shoes and attire!!) Our clubs have VERY strict dress-codes..
Bring a pair of NICE slacks and a nice button down shirt. Even SHAQ got shot down at LIGHT!
No sandals EVER EVER EVER.. Except by the pool
HINT - DRINK WATER...LOTS of WATER!
Drinking lots of booze at night + walking around in 115 degree heat during the day = dehydration. Unless you're one of those travelers who enjoy visiting local hospitals and getting strapped to an IV, we recommend you drink lots of water. Avoid the tap water; buy one of those trendy bottled waters. The prices for the bottled stuff are quite high at the hotels, so stop by a local grocery store or convenience store and stock up. Check out www.liquidsalvation.com its packaged in a easy to carry flask.. And you look COOL .. like a major strung-out , Nicholas Cage .. Leaving Las Vegas alcoholic.
GIVE UP YOUR SEAT
You might already know that if a flight is overbooked, the airlines will sometimes offer incentives to passengers to give up their seats. If you're not in a hurry to get home and would love to be the recipient of such a bonus, the best time to get "bumped" is the red-eye flights on the weekend. We know of some lucky passengers who were given free nights at a local hotel, meals and free roundtrip tickets. Best of all, they were able to stay in Vegas that much longer.
SHARE A CAB
Imagine you're club or casino-hopping in Vegas. You've been drinking, so you don't want to drive, and walking to the next destination is out of the question (you know, too far, or a big waste of time). What do you do? Get a cab. If you want to save money, grab one of those mini-van cabs and split the fare with others who are going your way. After all, you may need that extra cash for the cover charge at the next club.
YOU ARE AROUND LIKE MINDED PEOPLE & HAVE FUN!!!!
Not many places in the World have so many people coming to one place to have FUN!!! Even people coming for work HAVE FUN!
