Ah...Vegas. Big spending. Bright lights. Army of people, flashing nudie cards as you walk down the street at night. Barely legal types, holding gigantic containers of liquor. Sin city.
Just get away from 'The Strip' and a lot of this place looks like Los Angeles. It's weird.
I certainly have my favorites. Like the Pinball Hall of Fame. Or the LV Zoo. To find such gems, you really (and I do mean really) must do your homework. Why, the zoo just looks like residential zoning until you see a tiny sign.
Aside from some of the shows, LV holds very little for me. Though, I'll always remember scoring that one room for under $200 for the whole week. So big, a micro con could have been hosted inside.

Now that older video games have had their ROM's copied to PC's and are run in emulators with all their control tricks, it's rather interesting to see that many of those so-called casino games are quite the cheaters.
First off, it seems like very few of them actually play with a 'real' (virtual) deck of cards. Instead, most rely on 'smoke and mirrors', per say. Like how a handful will produce one set of results. Use the rewind and if they were fair, they would produce the same results. Instead, they'll produce a completely different set of results. Most seem to be rigged to let the machine (or the casino) win the better half of the time. My favorite in that is when you rewind and the 'journey' keeps changing, yet yields the same results. Can't trust most of them to be even the slightest sense of the word 'fair'. Which is kind of strange. It's almost as if the whole lot is rigged to make you feel that gambling is a bad idea. Even those that have this or that Vegas casino name in the title. And, constructing a virtual stack of cards shouldn't be an issue for a real programmer. After all, I've pulled it off for my IRC gaming bot. It builds a Data Base file of randomly shuffled card data and could even build multiple decks. Then, multiple games that worked with playing cards could pull virtual cards from the Data files and those were completely friendly towards card counting. Yet, the 'pros' that built their console casinos knew nothing about creating decks of cards.
And, if those 'not for gambling profit' games are all cheaters, how on Earth can we even remotely trust any automated machine in a real casino? Simply put, you can't. (Never mind that I had walked away from a casino just the other night as a winner. Place has a super sweet deal. Buy 7 gallons of gas at about the cheapest rate around and get $7 virtual cash. I played some digital Black Jack until I started yawning and went for the flashing 'Cash out' button. Seemed the game wasn't letting me cash out the promo money. But, every win went to a 'real money' data bit, instead. So, I got nearly $10 back for about $22 in fuel. That was pretty sweet, actually.)
So, it's very wise that you never step foot into one of those places.

Tip about Vegas. If you go gambling at the machines, take your chances at the airport machines. Those are considered gimme's that tempt arriving passengers with super loose slots. The idea is that those will hook that gambling fever and have it carry over to the real casinos. The low down secret is that all those machines are rigged. Some are in key spots as baiters and pay off more often.
Of course, I fondly remember just playing one to break a $20 to have the change for a soda. The machine would not let me loose and I won the soda's price, instead. Then, the soda machine kicked out two drinks for the price of one. Not the only time, either. Odd how if I aim to lose at gambling, I can't help but win.

Exactly. Vegas is a sink hole of money. It's one of the more successful methods to part fools from their money. (Not as successful a scam as insurance. But, still comes pretty high up on the scale.) It all works on chance. (Supposedly.) To any lucky streak that comes along is going to end. Get wrapped up in winning and you're expected to want more. Take a minute or an hour. Vegas is 24/7 and they got all the time in the world to wring you dry and invite the next fool in. Don't play their game. It's far too unlikely to do anything else then just giving your hard earned cash (or even more) away for literally nothing.
I've only walked away a winner because I never gamble to win. First time, it was my final day and I was packing up to leave. Thought to myself that to come to Vegas and not gamble was missing out. So, win or lose, I put one bet on a real hand of Black Jack. It felt great to walk away a winner and I didn't need anymore. Next time I had returned, it was to break a $20 for a soda. Even another trip back, I was just wasting time for an attraction to open up. The machine just refused to let me lose. And, I've only gone there for several events and to attend a Fur meet. Gambling, sex and liquor just don't interest me. Which pretty much removes most of that place's attractions.
Vegas is...also quite a weird town. Nowhere else have people mistaken me for some celebrity or would some random woman expect me to 'motorboat' her just out of the blue or would I ever get a personal invite to a celebrity's private home for a party.
