Gambling in Texas? Fail. You need to go to 3rd world countries like Oklahoma and Louisiana for that.

I had hot dirty sex with a chick from Dallas this one time.

Decent since I live in Canada.

Winstar casino is a couple hours north on the Oklahoma border, but you have to be 21.

Dallas is pretty boring for an 18 year old.

Here's my advice: DON'T ****ING GO. DALLAS SUCKS.

If you do go, just leave and go to Austin for a week.

Winstar is 18 and up, and has a 46 table poker room. There are buses that will get you there for cheap + give you a card to play slots for most of the amount you pay for the bus. I have seen people mix and match buses to stay longer, but you should ask the bus service about that.

Here is a bus shedule:

Other than that, Mavs, Stars or House of Blues. Hang out in the West End, Greenville Avenue, or gritty Deep Ellum. West End is more 18 friendly.

The best thing about Dallas is the strip clubs and if you're 18, you're not getting in unless you're dancing. The rest of it sucks. Plus, if you can't drive, you better be ready to spend some serious cash on cabs because the public transportation is ridiculous. Like the other guy said, go to Austin.

18 and don't drive? Unless you know someone there, Dallas will suck.

I will give one food suggestion, Bone Daddy's

Great food, hot gals!!

+1 on Bone Daddy's. Ribs, plus almost jailbait in short shorts and tight tank tops is about the best it will get for an 18 year old in Dallas.

Well, if you're into hockey at all, Stars games are a blast. But for you, I suggest Bone Daddy's.
