another comp question ( sorry dont want to read through pages to find one answer )

i plan on playing tons of cash games when im in vegas and i heard some rooms offer discounts or even comp your room for poker players. If anyone has some insight on this would be a huge help.

thanks

where whatever you want in the casinos (as long as it includes some kind of shorts/pants and shirt). If you go out clubbing best to wear jeans, collered shirt, and shoes (as opposed to sneakers). Some clubs may not have as strict a dress code as others, but it would stick suck to get turned away at a club because of how you're dressed.

Don't expect comp rooms from just playing poker, the casino makes barely anything off your action in the poker room so they comp accordingly. $1-$2 in food comps an hour is the norm out here. Once in awhile you might get a comped room for IP or Ballys through playing poker but don't expect a 3 night comp at a place like Aria or Bellagio from playing there cause it just won't happen.

You might could get a $20 comp if you bribe the floor with $15.

166 across to the 99 to the ARVIN turn off hwy 223 to the 58 to the 15. you can FLY on this route(except arvin and the few little towns, drive the speed limit in them).

Just be sure you tank up.

Left downtown SLO at 5:45, got in Vegas at 11:45. Good call on the route

Anyone know where I could exchange Australian dollars for US in Vegas where I won't get creamed on the exchange rate?

Banks in Australia are taking 5%+ spreads and I've heard some casinos are pretty good but I don't know which or where.

Help is appreciated.

Not 100% sure but I think they take time at those limits instead of rake in which point they are making less from that game then they make from the rake in 1/3 NL or 4/8LHE.

Any place near tropicana/mgm where i can rent a car just for 1 day to go shopping off strip? Price and car type not that important, easy and fast pick up/ drop off are more important to me.

There is a Budget rent a car on Trop and Valley View right across the street from the Orleans, probably cheaper to rent there then on strip.

21 year old guys want to do things that are non-poker, non-gambling?

There is a roller coaster over at New York, New York. There is some kind of jump thing at Stratosphere. You can drive the track at the speedway in a high performance car. You can do indoor skydiving. You can fire an Uzi at an indoor range. You can take a helicopter tour of the strip. Some things will be more expensive than others.

What are your interests?

No but I'd be careful walking late at night by myself there are a lot of homeless and panhandlers in the area and maybe more so now that the Sahara has closed.
