I was there two weekends ago with some family for my brother in law's 40th bday - so it was a little lower-key.  Stayed at MGM (which must be the biggest hotel in the world). 

We went down to Fremont on Friday night.  I had an absolute blast down there.  Gambling on the strip is hard -- what with the $25-$50 minimums at most tables.  I could stomach that if my friends were dead set on it, but my family definitely wasn't.  There are much more casual minimums at Fremont.  Plus it's still a pretty crazy atmosphere down there.

Went to some exotic gun range and shot some crazy guns -- way more fun than I expected it to be.  Also saw Absinthe -- which was great.

Appreciate the recap dlew!  Will definitely try and go to Fremont street one of the days.

Going for the first time in 2 years this weekend, will be with my buddy and his dad. Tentative plan is to gamble and booze the entire time but we could end up boozing and gambling.

save some time for that sweet vegas pussy and the sativa

What are the pbx recommended spots for picking up premium sativa and sweet Vegas pussy?

It's the perfect place for a 20 something to go out and get torn up at.  20 somethings have no business gambling on the strip.

[meow meow]

i do my best gambling in the hours of 2-4 am on the strip at about a 6.5

[Kat Kid]

I play pretty much just play poker now and you can do that at almost any Vegas casino and the best action is usually on the strip.

Table games are for suckers.

[Phil Titola]

I always thought Fremont was where the olds went when they couldn't walk the strip?

You can find low table minimums all over the strip...casino Royale is my personal fave for low minimums

new york new york is where I play low limit blackjack while a 7+. I close one eye to focus on the cards. then both to look around the room. then back to one eye to look at my cards again because I've forgotten what I have. repeat to infinity.

That's a good sig move.

I've never played poker in a casino.  I don't think I'm any good at it, and those people would eat me alive.  I stick exclusively to BJ and craps.

Weren't very many olds when I went downtown.  It was really a pretty raucous environment.  Tons of people boozing in the street.  4 or 5 pretty impressive stages with bands playing.  People zooming by in the zipline overhead with the big light up ceiling thing.  Maybe things were different back in the '90s gramps  .  And yeah, when I was talking about how the strip's casinos were really expensive, I wasn't talking about the casino at the best western.  Hooters (which I also played at last week) also has some low minimums.

I've done pretty well playing poker at a casino.  Unless you're playing in some high limit game, I think it is mostly tourists.

I should also mention that I don't like playing poker.  I get bored with it very quickly.  Probably because I'm a millennial.

I paid for Mrs Wacky and I's honeymoon on casino poker $. It's super easy to seek out the rubes at those places. Lots of "I just got my paycheck i'm gonna make it big" dumbasses on Friday and Saturday nights.

I like pai gow 

[steve dave]

I like pai gow 

it's super easy and low risk (like no matter how dumb you are the dealer will not let you do something stupid).

[mocat]

getting stuck with strangers at a poker table is my nightmare. with BJ you can just drop in for a minute and then leave whenever if it sucks or stick around if its good. when it's good they call it "hot", like oh man this table is hot. <--- pro tip

[chum1]

I like it when they say that they have loose slots. I like it even more when they say they have the loosest slots in town.

So many side bets and strategies (that don't matter cause you'll push anyway). I play it with 7mom and it's a good time.

All about blackjack w/ the boys tho

Strangers 

no no i mean specifically getting stuck with strangers at a poker table. there's nothing fun there. like you have to keep your face super serious and stoic. they call this a "poker face" like oh man look at that guy's poker face <---- pro tip

[mocat]

BJ is lots more fun and energetic and interactive and my goodness do i really have to explain this to everyone (except dlew)?

[mocat]

guy with frowny face and sunglasses takes his index and middle finger and taps twice on the table x infinity 

[420seriouscat69]

That's fair about the energy thing. I just like poker because I can sit there with my $ longer. I usually can find a few buds at the table who like to joke around and talk about the game. We kinda lol at the guy in the corner taking the game way too seriously.

[ChiComCat]

There is too much to do in Vegas to waste time doing anything you're not 100% into.  I usually play poker when other people want to do stuff I'm not into.

Part of poker is your winning means other people losing.  Hardly as fun as BJ or craps where everyone wins and parties together.
