Default vegas checklist/can you take chips to your room for a private game?

Hi all,

I'm hitting vegas this weekend for a 72 endurance drinking/gambling binge. I've been a few times, but I thought I'd fire off my list of todos and see if anyone had good advice to give:

1) low limit 3/6 4/8 places to hit: Nugget, Wynn, MGM, maybe alladin & flamingo, and the 2/6 spread game at excalibur (crazy loose game from what i remember)

2) Strip clubs: Crazy horse 2? cheetahs? Looking for less then $20 cover and booze served.

3) Regular night clubs, I've been to Ra and Drai's before, both good, any other suggestions? same less then 20 cover rule, unless its really jumping

3) Machine guns at a shooting range, anyone done it before?

4) Lastly, A kid mentioned last time that he and some buddies each got a rack of white from the poker room of the hotel they were staying at and played up in their room with it. Do the cash guys/floorman care if 8 guys in a row grab chips and leave the room? Seems like a cool way to kill some time.

Thanks all, and if there's anything else i should absolutely not miss, the advice is appreciated.

Don

Not if you pay for them first.

Unrealistic. Well, at least for a decent place. Glitter Gulch downtown is not a decent place. Airdances and ROB's. But no cover. You must buy 2 $8 beers.

Do yourself a favor and go to Spearmint Rhino. $30 cover if you are an out of towner and arrive be taxi. $20 if from Cali & drive yourself. $10 if from Nevada. They have a full bar. Best looking dancers in Vegas. Topless only. Laps are $20. If someone in your group goes to VIP, make sure to take the 30 minutes for $200 as it is much better value than 3 for $100. Nothing crazy goes on there, but no fly zones disappear for some girls including some of the best looking ones.

Do NOT arrive on Friday or Saturday night after 9pm. You will not be able to find any place to sit and will be unlikely to find any decent place to stand. This lasts until after 2am.

When I have my home games, I always get casino chips like you're planning.

i think you can play in your room, but i don't see why you would go with friends to vegas so you can sit in your room and play a home game. i strongly discourage this.

I would assume he sells them to the home game players for face value and doesn't really care if they keep them.

I've noticed I have a hard time killing 72 hours in Vegas, too.

1) Bally's will be better for low limit than Alladin a& Flamingo

2) Olympic Gardens late afternoon. Less girls, but less crowd, and usually a break on the cover. Mileage still good.
