Harrahs is really nice since they redid it. the pool is trashy, perfect place to hang out if single and trying to hook up
It's actually a nice area but the crowd there is pretty over the top clubby, not jersey shore fools but close.Borgata is the only "Vegas" casino in AC, still the best in AC right now. I stay at harrah's all the time because of comps and like it 
Hooked on flop poker an awful table game that I love.
Thanks
There is an 11:00 am tournament for $65 at the MGM. Decent action, not too expensive. Good, cheap tournament experience.Thanks

That would be perfect. The only problem with that is I'll be at a convention all week during the day. I've heard about some late evening tourneys. Know anything about anything like that?There is an 11:00 am tournament for $65 at the MGM. Decent action, not too expensive. Good, cheap tournament experience.Thanks
Caesar's. Or if you want to drive, the Hilton's is surprisingly good. However, sneaky play is the Rio - free drinks
I'll be going to SEMA also.I liked playing poker at Paris and Mandalay Bay

Bumping this to get some answers before we leave tomorrow.
I generally tip the shuttle guy 5 bucks and then carry my own bags to my room. If I actually needed a guy to bring our bags up, I give him 20. If I'm getting a cab I tip the cab stand guy 5 bucks.When you're checking in put $30 behind your license when you hand it over and ask if any upgrades are available (if you're interested in a nicer room / better view)You can also tip at the tables if you're doing well. If the point number for craps is 8 I like to play "two way hard eight" and throw two $5 chips down. When you do that, one of the bets is for you and one is for the guys working the table. There's also a way to set the chips when you're playing blackjack that involves dealer play, but not coming to me right now.When I'm at the sportsbook betting on college basketball I always tip the guy 5 for my initial daily bets, but I'm doing a lot of money line / parlay / first half ATS first half O/U so I make the guy work. They'll generally fix you up with some drink tickets when you tip (depending on the book).Hope that helps.
At craps, my dad always does this and my buddy on his own has been doing this, they ask the craps dealers, "Where do you want this?" everytime that have said ,"right next to yours on the pass line." I usually put a dollar down on the pass line and put $1 odds for 4 or 10 or $2 on 5 or 9 for the dealers, they really seem to like that.Blackjack you tip half on half off the betting circle closest to the dealer.
The Pawn Stars show is staged. They don't have cameras rolling when you walk in there. They set up people before hand and then have them come in and film it. We stopped by there last year, and it wasn't very crowded and no cameras. We did see a few of the employees that are on TV. Its actually a very small store, looks bigger on TV. So zero chance of walking in and getting on TV, but might be worth a quick trip to check it out if you watch the show.
I assume anywhere in old vegas

Even if it's all the way out front that's fine. The dealer will know what you're doing (and appreciate it). Some dealers are adimant against playing along so I'll often ask them if they mind riding along. Some will choose to keep the tips. Those dealers are usually boring and I'll usually get up front the table at the first cold snap... whereas with a fun dealer I'll usually stay through a cold deck or two.Old vegas is considered downtown, right? Any idea how far and how much for a taxi ride from MGM to there?
It's about a $25 ride from the strip to downtown. If you haven't been downtown, I highly recommend going, and go at night. It's a much different vibe, but a lot of fun. I leave next Friday and staying at the Golden Nugget. You won't find many $5 tables at the Nugget, but they are usually available in all of the other casino's.
Yeah, I'm definitely spending a day down there. Looks like there's a ton of cheap food specials at the various downtown casinos too. Should be a fun time.
Just not Thanksgiving Day. We'll be seated in the MGM. I should have plenty of food comps there to cover us
1. See Woz2. Eat at least a couple good meals. I can recommend a few. Most are off-stip, but I'm assuming you're not renting a car.
yeswas there last week and they are advertised all over the place
I will check, but I think she works all day Thanksgiving.You should bring the ex just for schtick value.
From what I've seen, you're better off booking separately if you can get the free or discounted rooms at the Harrahs properties.
I saw this article and it made me want to go to M the next day. Sounds awesome.Jojo the circus boy said:

It was fun and Woz is good people.....people.
Good read, thanks.Jojo the circus boy said:
Sportsbook.com live betting used to be on well into the 4th quarter when it was obvious which numbers would come into play. They never adjusted for this and got murdered week in and week out by sharps coming in the 4th Quarter. Eventually they just turned off live betting in the 4th quarter rather than get a solid algorithm.
Did you play anymore the rest of the weekend? That brief session has given me the itch back to play more often.It was fun and Woz is good people.....people.
Unfortunately, no. That was the only poker I played the whole time I was there. I'll probably hit up the dog track this Friday for some 1/2 NL.Did you play anymore the rest of the weekend? That brief session has given me the itch back to play more often.It was fun and Woz is good people.....people.
South Tower is awful... I had a free week and they booked us there, we went up to our room, called and asked ofr North immediately. South was a dump and this was in July
Good luck. Sounds like you and the gf must have had a good time then doing other stuff!Unfortunately, no. That was the only poker I played the whole time I was there.
