again, like what I've said, any casino complex in the world now offer free membership cards and like the airlines MR's, you can also add up points on your favorite Card (also known as COMPS of complimentary). Las Vegas is no different!!! Check the internet for the list of membership cards and you can apply online and claim then once you are in their casino. you can choose from a lot of cards like Harrah's Card, Grazie Card by Palazzo and Venetian, Luxor Card, Wynn Red card and more.

Comps will start when you start to gamble whether on slot machines or table games of at sport betting stations or video poker. just insert your Card to the Slot machine slot or video poker slot or give your card to the dealer of the card game you are playing. The Comps will start once you start playing and will pile up depending on the length of you play, the money you put in to gamble and hauling your friends to gamble at that particular casino.

The lowest level of comp available at most casinos is free alcohol and other beverages. Many casinos provide free drinks to anyone who is gambling. The second level of comp that many players earn is free meals. Many casinos have several restaurants and may require more play to earn a comp to the higher end restaurant. Often the player is given a certain amount to spend, but sometimes, particularly with high rollers, the player may be given the right to order as much food as they want.

The next level of comps is usually free hotel rooms. Many casinos have attached hotels, but those that don't may have the ability to comp rooms to a hotel nearby. Many casino hotels have higher quality rooms, such as suites, villas, presidential suites and so on for bigger bettors. Many players who receive hotel rooms receive a package called "RFB" for "room, food, and beverage" or "RF" for smaller bettors, or jurisdictions where casinos are not allowed to give free alcohol

Many casinos also offer other comps, especially to high rollers. These may include airfare reimbursement, limo rides, prostitution services, tickets to shows, golf, free concierge services, cash back, private gaming areas, and private jet service. Casinos also frequently offer players comps by mail. These may be free bet offers, free meals, discounted or free rooms, or entries into tournaments or prize drawings.

Part one of my comps tips.

again a refresher, if you are staying at gambling towns all over the world, especially here in Las Vegas, they will offer you membership cards for free like the Harrah's Card of Harrah's, the Grazie Card of the Palazzo and the Red Card of Wynn to name a few. you can apply free online at their website or apply in person when you are at their casinos and they will give you a magnetized plastic card where you can store your rewards points. Some cards offer free gambling play like for example, the tropicana offers $ 25 free play when you sign up to their card and Harrah's offer $ 20 free play and the Wynn at $ 10 free play which you can use at slot machines or table games and if you become lucky and be on a roll, plus your points will add up once you put more money to gamble.

Visit in any case the famous Fermont Street, what is the covered casino street of the downtown. It is full of various shops and casinos. An enormous steel roof covers the street, onto which fantastic light and laser show is projected in the evening.

In the casinos entrances, ladies in glittering dress invite us, people above age of 21 years may enter only of course. The age limit is kept under strict control, an identity card may be asked from anybody. In the casinos from tourists through the gambling-addicts to the mafiosos, practically all kinds of man can be found.

The casinos and games attract most visitors in the city apparently, there are some things however, onto which is important to listen. A free show of the rules of the various games is held in most casinos, it is worthy to check the given casino, when these are, and if we do not know the rules (there are so many games, that we may not know everything), take part on one of that. Let us stop beside a table before we start playing and let us look into the game of other ones, if onto this there is an opportunity, because we may learn by this a lot. There are jackpot, slot-machines, roulette, poker, blackjack and thousands of card game in all casinos, furthermore sports betting too.

The most important thing, however, do not chase unreal fancies, here you will never be rich: each traveler lose five hundred dollars according to the statistics in Las Vegas

"New roller!" "Craps!" "Hit me!" "All bets down!" "Six is the point!" "River Card!" "Insurance?" "Twenty-one!" "Rolling!" "Sixteen, red!" "B-6!" "Cocktails!" "Gin and tonic, please!" "Ding, ding, ding!" "Jackpot!" "Blackjack!" "Breaking a Hundred!" "No more bets!" "All bets final." "Good Luck!"

Ah, the sounds of a Las Vegas Casino. Like nothing you have ever heard. Listen closely, some one is betting, winning, losing at a gambling table, in a bingo room or the 1000's of slot machines inside the Casino. The sound of glass clicking as a toast for success goes up in the air. The hum of slot machines alone, is deafening. If you have never heard the sounds coming from the slot machines, be prepared. It's addicting. Some games of chance are confusing. You against the house. The house being the casino. Rules vary, words of the game are many. Learn the game, learn the talk and you too can walk the walk. "A little less conversation, a little more action, please!"

I do like to gamble in Las Vegas. I enjoy the fun of it so I play again the dealer, not against other players. I like to play low table limits of $5 on the strip. I haven't seen lower than that in Vegas. I'm sure I could find it but I like the glamor and the people-watching on the Strip. I'm the phony tourist.

My last trip I really enjoyed gambling at Bally's and Paris. They had such friendly dealers and the mood was so light. When playing blackjack at Paris our dealer was actually giving up fist pumps when she busted and the pit boss would come over and dance. I think we stayed there til about 4am. We even had pretty good luck.

And a special shout out to the Craps dealers and pit boss at Bally's too. Didn't like sleeping there but it's some of the lowest table limits on the strip. They were so nice....

I don't play slot machines. I might sit at the bar and play video poker. But the game I prefer to play is craps. However, I'm not fully knowlegeable in the game. What I do play seems to work for me and I can usually do well at it unless the table goes cold. It's hard to imagine but if the people at the table are not into it and supporting each other, it seems I will lose. So, I like to play at a crowded and lively table. On this particular visit to Vegas, I tried my hand at black jack most of the time and I did alright.
Here are some basic tips:
At most casinos, the dealer has to take a card on 16 or less and has to stop taking a card once they are past 17. So, if you have 12 or more and dealer is showing a 6 or less (other than an Ace), do not take another card. The odds are in your favor that the dealer will bust. Always double your bet if you have eleven because there is a good chance you will get a 10. You can only split your bet on cards that are alike. So, if you get two Aces, two eights, two nines (you get the idea). Tap the table when you want another card. Wave your hand over your cards side to side to signal you don't want another card. Good luck!

Las Vegas and gambling: you cannot mention one without the other. Okay, even old Cliffie dropped 25 dollars on the slots one evening, more to say that he had "been there, done that" than in any expectation of walking away with a million dollars. The rest of the time he spent his money on other things. A long time ago, old Cliffie worked in a casino for a year. He knows how it works. Look at all that opulent glitz and glamour in Las Vegas. Who do you think pays for it?

Vegas has casinos EVERYWHERE!!! casino lobbies, restaurants, on the streets, I am surprised they did not put one in the bathroom yet.

If you don't know how to play, not to worry, they will teach you, give you a card for a "strategy", they even have silly tutorial videos on tv.

One good benefit of gambling is free alcohol. But you have to sit for a while for them to give away their $9 drinks. Make sure to sit down somewhere where the cocktail waitress walks by frequently, so even if you waste a buck, you will get something out of it.

Sorry I have no gambling strategy because there is none! It's all about the odds. More money you put more chances you will get to win or loose it all!!! Gambling requires lots of patience. It's addicting and dangerous. I have seen some people loose a lot of money and it's very depressing to watch some people gamble away their minimum wage paychecks.

So pick your poison.
