Newbie Hits Vegas. Any tips?

[Simmo!]

Hey Chaps

I'm off for my first ever visit to Vegas in September. So anyone got any tips, apart from leaving all my credit cards at home? I've not decided on a Hotel yet either. All I have on my agenda so far is to meet the Meister and to find Multi Strike VP!

Any tips on hotels/casinos/games/how to come home with money in my pocket? Hey...is the Thunderstruck "land slot" in the B&M's yet? Saw it at a show last year.

Simmo!

UPDATE: I'm now back and written up the experience here:

Heading to The Borgata in Atlantic City myself this week! I always found the best machines at the entranceway for when I hit, I cash out and move on down to the next casino in Las vegas. Easy exit! In Atlantic City,I take the jitney to a cluster of casinos and then do the same....Run with the money while the running is good! Good Luck!

Yes, don't worry - I'll keep you out of trouble

Read this if you plan on chillin' with me on the Multi Strike VP games:
Cocktaildoll - The Real Vegas from a Real Vegas Cocktail Waitress - Home

Lots of good info on how to tip/order etc.

Thunderstruck is at the Wynn BTW.

I'm more interested in seeing the paytable to compare it. It should be a good indication of just how different online payouts are to B&M slots payouts I'll jot them down and run them by Zoozies ER Calculator when I return

Remember you need to write down the reels as well as they could be different.

Btw. The best 'chickenhouse' is located a bit outside central vegas. (So I hear...)

Ah writing down reels may be tricky but I can probably spot if they are different. That'll have to do Is a "chickenhouse" what I think it is?

Knowing you, Simmo, yes, it is.

Coupons are your best chance of leaving Vegas with a profit since they give you the edge.

The best coupons can be found at:

1. Casino Royale -- small little dive inbetween Harrah's and the Venetian. Sign up at the club booth and get a sheet of coupons which you can get every month. That $50 free slot play is a sucker coupon which you can only play on promotional machines that haven't hit since the Ice Age, but the other coupons are awesome.

2. Stratosphere -- to make up for being so out of the way on the Strip, they have to entice people to come with good odds and a coupon book you can get once a week.

In addition, if you can buy the 2006 American Casino Guidebook before your trip, they have some decent gambling coupons and a bunch of other good buffet coupons and other stuff.

If you want to see some of the "headliner" shows..book them now online! You can no longer expect to just walk in and get tickets. Some of the nicer dining is also a book 1 month in advance deal.. I used to use vegas.com for info, they had maps and list of attractions/hotels/shows ect. Have fun!

Top Ten Las Vegas Tips, plus our How-to-Gamble guide is a very useful source of information about all sorts of things in Las Vegas.

The rooms are much more expensive on the week-ends (Friday, Saturday nights) than during the week.

The game rules are usually better in downtown or at the outlying casinos (Boulder Highway, Henderson, etc), than on the Strip, but you get hotter cocktail waitresses on the Strip. The Wizard of Odds has information about blackjack, roulette and craps rules at various casinos.

Avoid the Gold Spike if you care about your lungs.

The Nextel store at the Convention Centre monorail stop has free internet access.
