    Im headed down to LV for three days next week. Staying at the Monte Carlo. Plan is to hit the sportsbook in the evening, and blackjack at night, hit the pool in the afternoon.

    Im bringing about 4k to play with, will likely play $300 a game, and will drop 1k on the bjack table for each sitting. 1k for each night, if I go broke, I go to bed. I have done very well in the past with Bjack, and really feel like you need a hefty bankroll to sustain the swings that come with it.

    Now I have a players card from my last visits, and I have found that the points you accumulate on the tables is probably ten times more than you do at the sportsbook, and I dont know why that is.

    Im going to be playing college hoops mostly, and possibly some NBA. Ive been on a pretty good streak for the past 4 months, up around 15k or so, and have paid off all of my debts, so this money truly is free money.

    Question is, should I call them up, or email them and say that Im coming down with x amount to play with. One of my friends goes down, and she hits the high roller table, and probably has about 20k in play in her three day visit. Which really isnt that much at say $100 a hand.

    Is it worth me making the call, to try and get some perks out of them, or just go there and accumulate my points, and not pay for meals, and possibly get a room comp.. That is the q.

    Cant hurt to call and give it a shot, might be unlikely to get any perks though since its a weekend but who knows. I have a friend who used to stay out there for baseball season, he would wager a minimum of $500 a day on baseball so they comped him a room daily for his bet size.

    Sounds like youre gonna have a blast though, I was there last week for 4 days and it was all drinking, sexytime and gambling, I felt like crap for about 3 days afterwards but it was all worth it! Wish I was back there now.

    I THINK, just taking a stab here, the reason they give you so many more points at the table is because they have a higher advantage to beat you than the sportsbook and youre moe likely to lose money faster at a table vs. a 3 hour game. Cant say for sure though.

    Have fun man

    Rule number 5 from the MIT boys, NEVER tip your dealer. Will lower your bankroll exponentially over time.. LOL..

    I work at a very busy bar, and am in the service industry. I tip my dealer, well I let him shoot his tip with my hand that is, so no worries there.

    the best sportsbook hands down is the las vegas hilton.  go there to bet, best lines and best everything.  you can bet nba quarters and halfs, and ncaab you can bet both halfs,.  no other book in town has that.  good drink service to, no drink tickets or that bs, just sit and watch the games and tip them for the drinks.   good luck  !!,  i will be on illinois for the game and the 1st half pretty large.  & maybe the 2nd half if the line is good.  good day

    book has it correct on the Hilton. as for the comps, it's a little tricky this weekend since it's being slammed by the Nascar scene. either way it wouldn't hurt to call and see if you can get hooked up....

    my casino is the orleans, just for the pure fact that i'm 10 min away door to door......

    GL, this place thrives off broken dreams just stay focused.
