Some places (Foxwoods) won't give you more than 2 drinks an hour. That makes things tougher.

Fortunately, this is not a problem in Las Vegas.

#1 on my list for drink service is The Orleans. From some of the tables, you could literally yell your drink order in. And when I was there in the summer, there were about 10-15 tables going and what seemed to be like 3 cocktail waitresses. I got hammered so fast, that I had to slow down and start drinking dry Manahattans...which I enjoy but can't drink too fast.

The last time I was at the Orleans, service was very mediocre. The waitress for our table had a burr up her butt about something and would only come by every half hour or so. Thankfully her shift ended while I was still thirsty.

This methodology became my standard practice in Vegas when I started playing poker, for the nights I wanted to guzzle booze. Find a cheap table, 2/4 at most places, 4/8 at Bell and Wynn, and just try to win the blinds and tip money. You can't just wait for AA though. Not only have I gone multiple weekends without getting AA once, but with these 6 to the flop games, I almost always lose with AA anyway. I consider it a victory if I cash out the same as I bought in with. The worst I've done is basically pay for the drinks.

Pai Gow Poker is the ultimate drinking game. It's ridiculously simple, slow with a reasonable house edge, and pit drink service trumps all others. If Security doesn't have to carry you outside, you've failed.
