Whatta Loser!

Casinos in Las Vegas, NV are built by the losers that is no secret. They are the size of modern day castles and every game you play has a house advantage built in. 

The casino's goal is to squeeze every dime out of you and leave you feeling like you had a great time. When you walk into the casino you should expect to lose. That being said lets explore how you can stretch you money in Las Vegas.

Here are 5 Quick Tips to help you spread the wealth.

Tip #1 Go Local - 

Playing at casinos that are located off the strip usually nets better comps and cheaper food. They are designed to cater toward the local players and try to keep them coming back by offering such good deals.

Tip #2 Coupons - 

Casinos offer tons of match plays and discount coupons for playing on their property or sister properties. Just ask the players club representatives for any discount books or pamphlets they are offering.

Tip #3 Don't Go Big - 

The slots or promotions with the highest payouts are the toughest to win. Stay away from the lure of high jackpots and you will see your dollars staying with you longer.

Tip #4 Learn Poker - 

If you are going to be seduced by the ring a ding ding of the slots, at least play Video Poker. The Video Poker machines can not have their odds changed and since poker is a game of skill you have a better chance of winning. Same goes with table games, Poker has no house advantage since you are playing against the other customers. The casino only takes a percentage of the pot so you have a huge advantage if you know how to play Poker.

Tip #5 Be Odd - 

If you find yourself yearning to play other table games besides Poker, stick to ones that have better odds like Blackjack, Craps and Roulette. Games like 3 Card Poker, let It Ride and Caribbean Stud are all called Carnival games for a reason. They have horrible odds and huge house advantages.

Going to Las Vegas is fun. It can also be overwhelming. Stick to these tips and get as educated as possible before you go and you will be able to stretch your money as far as possible. Hey it is Vegas you might even get lucky and win a jackpot but do not count on it.
