The Las Vegas Strip brings millions of tourists to the state of Nevada each year, to gambling upon it’s four mile stretch of land based casinos. There is a multitude of casinos to choose from when walking along the strip. Of course, this strip of properties isn’t the only place to gamble in Vegas, so when it comes to choosing the best casino to gamble at in Vegas, looks can be deceiving.
Choosing the best casino to gamble at in Vegas really will have more to do with what games you plan on playing and what amenities you want at your fingertips. Something to keep in mind, no matter where you play, is that if it seems that you’re playing against locals, get up and change casinos. The locals in casinos will play every day and unless you’re highly skilled, you’re going to lose against them. Playing against drunk tourists is usually the easiest way to win.
If you’re looking for a place to gamble and get a lot of free drinks, try playing at The Wynn. The Wynn is known for offering players name brand spirits, which is not the norm in many casinos who serve the cheap stuff to their players, for free.
If you really want to try your hand at gambling, but don’t know a thing about the process, you may want to try craps. Be sure to bet the PASS LINE. Basically, you put money on the table and someone else rolls. It offers you close to a 50% chance of winning, which is pretty great. The best place to find
low-stakes craps tables is O’Sheas.
If you desire to mix gambling with shopping, there are a lot of very large casinos that have malls or boutiques combined into their gambling areas. Of course, these stores are often very expensive. Some of the better areas to gamble in Vegas if you also want to mix in shopping are the Caesars’ Forum Shops and the shops at Planet Hollywood.
If you really do want to mix with the locals, you’ll probably need to hop off of the Strip. Most locals never play on the Strip. They often go to locals’ casinos or Fremont Street, which is also known as downtown. Downtown has all of the classic casinos like Four Queens, El Cortez, Binion’s, and more. These casinos aren’t as flashy as the Strip casinos, but they are much cheaper in terms of table games.
