goin to vegas for first time. ...need a little advice...

Lagasse's is great if you're a group of guys 20-30's,with $ to burn..Couches and private side areas with cabana monitors IIRC.Party $ minimums for F+B...Betting windows up front underneath the viewing screens..It is a nice set-up but the older you get sometimes you may just want a book w/o a bunch of drunken college kids going nuts over a missed free throw.

I guess it's more a club atmosphere than a real sportsbook imo.Buddy and I checked it out and had a beer at the bar on a slow day and were laughing to ourselves how insane the place must be for MM etc..

Yeah TT live it up man while you're still young and make some memories.

Slot play,like I said take your're leftover $ from your travel budget.Even $100 a day should get you something (be it reduced rate from CET properties,or poss a comped room or 2 during slow times) Remember $100 is not the true total of 'coin -in' you rack up,it is the total you roll-over the play from that original $100..

Casino bean counters calculate total coin-in vs Hours played to estimate your therotical loss and from there the decision is made to comp you a room there to have you play with them again.

 Riveria blows..old and rundown last I was in the place 8 years ago for a FF draft..Smelled like garbage also.

Tip in the books and bars and you're ok.No tip-shitty service.Pack a bunch of singles and the days of a buck a drink are pretty much gone,If you are playing big enough in the book tellers will throw you a couple drink tix..All I'm most familiar with is the Rio so Strip may be tougher,not sure..

If you can't tune in an individual game on your own monitor the sportsbar bartender will change the game to the one you want,that is of course you are friendly(tipping) You simply cannot go to Vegas without expecting to tip and tip often and while it adds up-things get done a lot faster for you..

Now quit with the Q's and just GTFO there and see for yourself.Good Luck!
