Good. I like that.

I just want something where I can play where it's more brainless fun (ie. roulette type of thing) where you aren't too worried about strategy etc.

Wish there was something involving chicks in bikinis jumping on trampolines that I can bet on..... or monkeys riding around on dogs and bet on it like a horse race......

$15 Pai Gow at Planet Hollywood. Girls in bikinis dancing around, pretty good drink service. I don't know about the monkeys.

Blackjack has a relatively simple system to break even with and you can sit with a large stack and play 1 dollar bets.

Why mechanical craps. Go to a live craps table, bet pass line, drink and have fun. I enjoy poker but always have craps time on trips because much more fun.

Re: Games good for losing $ slowly while I drink

Go to Encore at 4am, sit at the bank of penny slot machines across from the Terrace bar, put $1 in the machine and bet 1 cent at a time, drink top shelf liquor for free and watch the whore show walk by. Just make sure you take care of the cocktail waitress and she'll even bring you drinks and shots at once. Or you can sit at the bar 8 feet away and pay $14 a drink.

Haha..... at 4AM hopefully I am already back at my room with one of the would be passer bys and spraying *** all over her face... =P

Quick question though. Why 4AM? (ie. can't I go there to have some drinks earlier in the day?)

Cheers,

A limit poker related story:
During a long weekend this year, @ MGM, someone at the 2-4 limit table got thrown out of the poker room because of a dispute over $4 (FOUR DOLLARS!!!!)... WTF. I wanted to walk over, toss the guy a red chip, tell him to STFU and keep the change...

Also, I actually don't know the rules....ha.... but yeah, no poker this time.

Re: Games good for losing $ slowly while I drink

I am not really a craps player.

But very basically with a bet on the pass line you hope the first number rolled out is rolled again before a seven is rolled.

If the first (come out) roll is a 7 or 11, then you win even money. If the come out roll is a 2, 3, or 12, then you lose.
If it is any other number you want it to hit again before a seven to win even money. If a seven hits you lose your bet have a drink and start over.

Pretty simple no brainer bet to satisfy drinking and having fun.

Re: Games good for losing $ slowly while I drink

Pai Gow but you gotta bet the bonus even though its a bad deal for tilt protection. Get a Royal Flush or something without playing the bonus and you're gonna be all pissed off. And it's only a dollar a hand. And it goes slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
