Sit at the 1 cent machines, profit!

I can't wait to go but I'm looking forward to San Francisco than Vegas but it might all change when I get there ha ha!

Never had this issue to be honest! We were there back in March and had no issues like this despite going to all sorts of casinos/bars. Personality goes some way too.

Awww, what are you saying

Was surprised to be honest, but in the Mirage, A R I A (no idea why that's starred by the swear filter!!) and Luxor it was a definite (we chatted up the bar staff to find out ) - you're right though, having a laugh with the bar staff/waitresses goes a long way. The English accent helps too, surprising what an Austin Powers impression gets you.......

just play Pai Gow Poker... and make sure you tip the waitress

you'll likely save money vs paying for drinks at a bar

Look up gambling strategies that prolong your bankroll, the casino edge means you will always lose over time but games like Black Jack can have a house edge of as low as 1% and if you can use the right wagering strategy you could theoretically be there all night, had loads of drinks and only lost a dollar.

higher variance - if you're just gambling for a short while to get some free drinks you'd likely want to sacrifice some of that low house edge for lower variance and therefore less risk. tis a more -EV proposition but you're likely to be closer to your -EV with pai gow whereas with black jack you might well double up or lose your small gambling bankroll for the evening

You're a prime target for casinos!

agree, if I am milking the free drinks the pai gow is what I play (baccarat sometimes but limits usually too high) not only is the edge below 1% but each hands take ages and loads result in a push (draw)
