LVL FAQ, Quick Questions, General Vegas Discussion, Etc - Page 289 - Las Vegas Lifestyle Forum - Las Vegas Entertainment and Living Information

Quick question about a rumor I heard that I don't really believe, Can clubs with gambling in them not charge you a cover if you are going in to play blackjack, etc? My buddy says it is illegal for them to charge you to play or something. I think it has to be bull but figured I would check cuz might be a nice way to save some money my next trip cuz I can't avoid the tables.

It's against Nevada Gaming regulations to exclude members of the public from gaming areas, except for super-high roller salons (minimum $300K cash or credit to enter). This rule applies everywhere including clubs and swimming pools.

If you can't avoid the tables, Las Vegas is not the place for you. Contact the casinos about their respective self-exclusion programs, and if you elect to self-exclude and later try to gamble, the casinos will be more than happy to escort you off the property.

Coyote Ugly advertises "open bar passes" for $30 during the week and $35 on weekends from 9pm to midnight. What's the catch? Is it just super busy so that you only get 2 or 3 drinks?

If not you can always find a shipping store. According to Google
there is a UPS store at Caesars.

The catch is that place is garbage and they need a gimmick to get people in the door.

It's Bud products and well drinks. Next time you go, tell G that I said you should have a safety meeting.

Anyone know if Cosmopolitan Hotel has Terrace Rooms that come with 2 Queen sized beds?
Their website only lists their basic City rooms as having 2 beds, all others have a King.

Basically, I enjoy blackjack more than clubbing with friends. Not a problem gambler.

i don't see how that applies to your original question. you're not going to find BJ at places that make money off of charging cover like the big clubs.

how did this question come up?

It wasn't too my original question. It was too the guy who was telling me about self excluding if I can't avoid the tables.

A lot of the clubs have a gaming section in them these days and I usually end up playing some blackjack and drinking while my friends dance. It came up when I was talking to a gambling buddy when I mentioned that when I club I realize I kind of throw away cover because I just gamble which I could do for free in the casino and he said something about the clubs not being able to charge cover if you gamble. I am sure they just don't let you in but was just asking if anyone ever actually skipped cover by playing blackjack, etc.

Quote:

NRS 463.15995 Regulations governing charging of fee for admission to area in which gaming is conducted.
1. The Commission shall, with the advice and assistance of the Board, adopt regulations authorizing a gaming licensee to charge a fee for admission to an area in which gaming is conducted in accordance with the provisions of this section.
2. The regulations adopted by the Commission pursuant to this section must include, without limitation, provisions that:
(a) A gaming licensee may not charge a fee pursuant to this section unless:
(1) The Chair of the Board grants administrative approval of a request by a gaming licensee to charge such a fee; and
(2) Such administrative approval is not revoked or suspended by the Chair of the Board.
(b) The Chair of the Board may, in the Chair’s sole and absolute discretion, grant, deny, limit, condition, restrict, revoke or suspend any administrative approval of a request by a gaming licensee to charge a fee pursuant to this section. In considering such a request, the Chair of the Board shall consider all relevant factors, including, without limitation:
(1) The size of the area;
(2) The amount of gaming that occurs within the area;
(3) The types and quantity of gaming offered;
(4) The business purpose of the area;
(5) Other amenities that are offered within the area;
(6) The amount of the costs and expenses incurred in creating the area;
(7) The benefit to the State in having gaming conducted within the area;
(8) The amount of the fee charged and whether the fee charged is unreasonable as compared to the prevailing practice within the industry; and
(9) Whether the area should more appropriately be treated as a gaming salon.
-> The decision of the Chair of the Board regarding such a request may be appealed by the gaming licensee to the Commission pursuant to its regulations.
(c) A gaming licensee who charges a fee pursuant to this section:
(1) Shall deposit with the Board and thereafter maintain a refundable revolving fund in an amount determined by the Commission to pay the expenses of admission of agents of the Board or Commission to the area for which a fee for admission is charged.
(2) Shall arrange for access by agents of the Board or Commission to the area for which a fee for admission is charged.
(3) Shall, at all times that a fee is charged for admission to an area pursuant to this section in an establishment for which a nonrestricted license has been issued, provide for the public at least the same number of gaming devices and games in a different area for which no fee is charged for admission.
(4) Shall, at all times that a fee is charged for admission to an area pursuant to this section in an establishment for which a restricted license has been issued, post a sign of a suitable size in a conspicuous place near the entrance of the establishment that provides notice to patrons that they do not need to pay an admission fee or cover charge to engage in gaming.
(5) Shall not use a fee charged for admission to create a private gaming area that is not operated in association or conjunction with a nongaming activity, attraction or facility.
(6) Shall not restrict admission to the area for which a fee for admission is charged to a patron on the ground of race, color, religion, national origin or disability of the patron, and any unresolved dispute with a patron concerning restriction of admission shall be deemed a dispute as to the manner in which a game is conducted pursuant to NRS 463.362 and must be resolved pursuant to NRS 463.362 to 463.366, inclusive.
(d) If a gaming licensee who holds a nonrestricted license charges a fee pursuant to this section, unless the area for which a fee for admission is charged is otherwise subject to the excise tax on admission to any facility in this State where live entertainment is provided pursuant to chapter 368A of NRS, the determination of the amount of the liability of the gaming licensee for that tax:
(1) Includes the fees charged for admission pursuant to this section; and
(2) Does not include charges for food, refreshments and merchandise collected in the area for which admission is charged.
(Added to NRS by 2005, 1355)

XS has BJ and Craps by the bar next to the pool. I highly doubt you could get the cover waived by saying you're going to play those.

depends on what club you go to. some are more strict than others.

sandals and jean shorts will not be acceptable anywhere. jeans, dress shoes, polo shirt will be enough to get you in pretty much anywhere.

I guess Terminal 3 is now open in Vegas or has been for a while. Westjet flights out of Canada started flying into and departing out of there today. Anyone seen it inside?
