If you are playing $100 a hand blackjack, you think the casino cares if you are stark naked? Nope. <BR/><BR/>The secret to Vegas is to stick to your gambling budget. Set aside whatever you can afford to loose and not a penny more. Look at it as entertainment. And if you happen to win, replenish your budget and find a way to deposit the rest of your winnings into the bank ASAP. <BR/><BR/>Or use your winnings to take in a show. Or rent a car and go sight seeing. Whatever. <BR/><BR/>Vegas really is a fun place to be. There is more to the town than just casinos. Take in some shows. Scarf the food - the buffets are cheap (subsidised by the casino loosers) and the food is pretty good. Go see the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. Drive into Arizona and see the Grand Canyon. Relax in the hotel pool. Scam free drinks while playing on the 5 cent slot machines. <BR/><BR/>There is much to do.The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12371420.post-1128103164581247192005-09-30T13:59:00.000-04:002005-09-30T13:59:00.000-04:00Econo-Girl loves to dress up, but not for losing m...Econo-Girl loves to dress up, but not for losing money.<BR/><BR/>Kudos to Iggy for finding the angle in Vegas.

He may or may not know that he is full of manure - but either way he does not care. He is just doing his job. <BR/><BR/>But I like casinos. Their game does not throw me off. Like a good capitalist, I look for the areas to exploit. For example, last time I was in Vegas I found a 25 cent video poker machine at a hotel bar (Tropicana to be exact). I would play at 25 cents a hand, while drinking FREE premium vodka. My plan was to "loose" 10 or 15 bucks, while running up a $40 or $50 bar tab that I would not have to pay. <BR/><BR/>As it turned out, I made a 75 cent bet and hit 4 of a kind. The payout was close to $90. All in quarters. The bar tab was still free. I put $20 in the machine to start with.The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.com
