Casinos on Every Corner

No matter which way you turn in Las Vegas, there’s always an opportunity to gamble. So how are you expected to resist? The answer is that you’re not — and the casinos are banking on that. That’s why they are open 24 hours a day and offer free drinks to entice you to stay on the floor. Whether you’re a gaming neophyte or an experienced player, there is literally something for everyone in Las Vegas. You can play quarter slots or try your luck at craps or Texas Hold ‘em poker. It’s always a blast when you win (not so much when you loose), but it’s even interesting just to watch. The cross-section of people playing is as eye-catching as the game itself. From the spectacular Wynn to the MGM Grand to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, you’re sure to find a favorite place to lay it on the line. To make it fun, bring just the exact amount of money that you’re willing to lose, and don’t forget your sense of humor.

If you’re a newbie to Las Vegas you might want to take the intimidation out of gaming and sign up for free classes at one of the casinos in town. Pick up tips on blackjack and learn the ins and outs of craps. Even if you just want to watch, it’s still nice to know what’s going on. Most casinos offer classes five days a week.
