Tips For New Players
Always dreamed on taking a trip to Las Vegas? There are a few things you need to know before you start on making your way to the Strip. These are the 10 most essential tips for new players who want to live it up at Vegas.
1. Schedule your visit to Vegas sometime mid-week. Accommodation rates and tariffs can jump up more than 3-4 times than the normal prices on weekends. With people crowding in at every restaurant, casino or nightclub during these weekends it makes it all the more annoying as you will be standing in long queues to wait for your turn. From my experience the mid-week guests at Vegas have loads of cash to spend and have a much better time.
2. Avail a Player's card! This helps. Spend a few minutes at the casino’s Player’s Club desk and sing up for a membership, if you plan on playing there or not. With this membership in hand, the casino will regularly send you information through email about the discounted rates on rooms or any events for your next visit.
3. The most important advice for gamblers that any pro gambler would give you, is not to lose yourself in Las Vegas! Go with a specific budget in mind and play only with that. Do not lose more than you can afford to.
4. Though slots machines seem like an easy way to play; don't play them! They swallow up your money and sometimes leave you stranded with no money. Table games offer you a better chance of winning and are more fun to play.
5. Get your comps! The casino usually gives you a casino bonus and rewards on buffets, tickets to any event, and discounts on rooms whenever you play at that casino. Check out with the Player's Club desk on how to claim your various goodies.
6. Make use of the buses. The ones that take you to the airport or to Stratosphere then to Las Vegas downtown, all this for about a $1. Ride the Deuce for less than a $1 that takes you around the Strip.
7. Don't try getting a taxi on the Las Vegas Strip, you can get it from outside your hotel. You can share the ride with anyone else who is taking a trip to the casino. It saves money plus its eco-friendly and could meet someone nice on the way.
8. If you feel like a walk then there’s nothing better! It’s only four miles from the start to the end of the Strip and when there’s a lot of traffic, walking is the fastest way to get around. You can walk in and out of the casinos with no hassle.
9. Get half-price tickets to any shows or events. You can get half-price tickets from any of these places on the Strip. At the Riviera, Fashion Show Mall across the Wynn Casino and in the Hawaiian Marketplace across the Monte Carlo or the Four Queens.
10. Keep your winnings! The minute you win big keep it aside and never plan on gambling it; you don’t wanna lose it. If you there to party then use the winnings on club entry fees, chicks, booze, or whatever else tickles your fancy. J
