Las Vegas is an amazing place! Here is some pictures that attempt to do it justice

Las Vegas casinos are really beautiful; many have spectacular fountains, glorious indoor and outdoor gardens, and amazing pools and spas. However, these buildings, grounds, and facilities were really expensive to built, and are even more costly to maintain.

Online casinos, on the other hand, do not have pricey overhead expenses. They are able to pass these savings on to their customers. For this reason, online casinos offer payout rates that are considerably higher than those offered at brick and mortar casinos in Las Vegas- or anywhere else in the world. Online casino gambling payout rates are compiled on a monthly basis by the Online Players Association (OPA), an internet casino players’ advocacy group.

Tribes do not have to report publicly their profit or what is paid out to patrons. In six years, casino-style gambling on Indian land in California has grown to a $7 billion-a-year industry, according to the Indian Gaming Industry Report. So it pays to ensure that customers think they have a fair shot at winning.

Magic Was in The Air -

It's a magical experience when you win at a Las Vegas Hotel and casino

Some Visits You Just Don't ForgetBy Rick and Teri Golpe, Sterling Heights, MI
Back in 1984 we made our second visit to the true "City of Lights." Joining us were two Vegas newbies. The four of us talked on the plane about our plans for the next four days. Most of the conversation centered on floorshows and lounge acts with a very rare mention of gambling thrown in.

Little did we know that gambling would turn out to be a huge part of the trip. Why? Because all four of us had the "touch" that trip. Blackjack, craps and roulette were our games of choice, and we beat the house at all of them.

We didn't make get-rich money; we made pay-for-your-whole-trip money and then some. Easy money. $50 here. $200 there, and so on. We paid cash for the shows, cabs, meals and souvenirs.
Wow! That was 20 years ago and all of us still remember it like it was yesterday.

This is a Great Story - Read it and learn how to beat the line at Las Vegas Hotel and Casino shows!

The phrase is "One only," not "One and only"
By Col. Nemo Turner, Montreal and Las Vegas

A few decades ago, I had a government contract to come to Nevada to do magic shows for different municipalities all over the state. I spent one week in Reno and three weeks in fabulous Las Vegas.

Since I was performing for children and doing family shows in libraries, small theatres and recreation centers during the day, I was always free in the evening. That's when I planned to see the stage shows in the casinos, especially those that had a magic act in the revue.

To see these big Las Vegas Hotel and Casino shows, I had to make a reservation and wait in a long line before being let in. I did this many an evening, until one night something different happened.

When I gave the maitre d' my name for the reservation, he asked me why I had waited in line? "You should never have to wait in any line to see a show," he told me.

I was shocked to hear this! His comment led me to believe that, with all my children's shows and local TV appearances, I must have become a recognizable celebrity. My head started to swell, for I realized that I had finally arrived at stardom! I was now a Las Vegas Hotel and Casino VIP.

I humbly asked why I didn't have to make a reservation to see a show.

"Because you're only one person," he said. "We always have trouble filling in the empty pockets at the tables."

He went on to tell me that most people come in couples or an odd-numbered group, and that can leave an empty chair to fill. Therefore I should always go to the front of the line and tell the maitre d', "One only." Then I can be ushered in immediately.

My ego quickly deflated, but I said, "Of course," as though I already knew all about that, and I hurriedly walked right in.

The next evening I tried this ploy, and it worked beautifully. I walked past a long line-up to a casino show and right up to the maitre d'. Everyone in line gave me that "Who does he think he is?" look.

"One only," I whispered to the maitre d'.

He smiled and said, "Right this way, sir." I could feel the stares of everyone in the line behind me. I laughed to myself thinking how they must be in awe of seeing a real Las Vegas Hotel and Casino VIP.

Happy, Feel-Good Story About Two Nights at the Nugget
By Maren Koscielski, Minnetonka, MN
When my husband and I were planning our wedding, we thought we'd just go to the justice of the peace here in Minnesota to get married. But then we learned that it would take three months to get married here! Well, that just wouldn't work for me.

My future mother-in-law could see that we really wanted to be together, so she and my future sister-in-law made arrangements to have the ceremony in a Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. My sister-in-law is Patricia Hayford, and she and her husband spend a lot of time at the Las Vegas Hotel and Casino Golden Nugget. The two women put their heads together, and we flew out to Vegas on a Friday, got married, and came back on Sunday.

That was five years ago, and it was the BEST experience I've ever had. The staff at the Las Vegas Hotel and Casino Golden Nugget was so nice! They had a huge basket in our room, also flowers and a bottle of champagne. Now we're planning to renew our vows, and of course we'll be coming back to the Las Vegas Hotel and Casino Golden Nugget to do that!

My favorite Las vegas Hotel and Casino
The MGM grand is a pretty amazing casino. Actually, casino isn't really the right word. I call it "Disneyland for Adults". It's got it all: great entertainment, fabulous shopping (I got some really nice Armani jeans there).

We saw the Cirque du Soleil in the MGM grand Las vegas Hotel and Casino. It was 100 bucks a ticket, but worth every penny. My eyes were treated to an amazing heart-pounding display of acrobatic performances and martial arts, KÀ climaxes in a perilous battle scene that will astound you. We loved it and went back to see "O". "O" is a show that is all about water. Any it's amazing. After seeing that I said to my girlfriend "That's it. There's no need for me to see any more theatrical productions. There's now way you can top that."

Las vegas Hotel and Casino MGM Grand has many critically acclaimed restaurants helmed by celebrity chefs. Soak in the ultra-cool vibe at the Las vegas Hotel and Casino Tabú Ultra Lounge. The scorching-hot Studio 54 is really good to.

The Las vegas Hotel and Casino MGM Grand has a the world-renowned Grand Spa. Swim in a 6.6-acre pool complex, complete with lazy river and waterfall. Even for Las Vegas, 6.6 acres is completely over the top. You need to see it to believe it. Got there. That's all I have to say.

(but if you're going to gamble. The slots have payouts of 92%. If Commodore casino blackjack online, the payout is over 100%. Commodore casino slots have a payout of 115% when you get the deposit and/or signup bonuses. Either way, play online, but by all means, visit the casino.

My favorite casino player...

Charles Wells (1841-1926), gambler and confidence trickster, is one of the men that broke the bank at Monte Carlo, made famous by the song. Joseph Jagger was the first famous gambler to get publicity in 1873 but the song was not written until 1892 and so it seems that Wells is a more likely inspiration for the song.

François Blanc, the owner of Monte Carlo's casino, wanted the publicity from stories of big winnings. In French, if a gambler wins more than the chips on the table, he was said to have "faire sauter la banque", which was translated as "breaking the bank". A black shroud was placed over the table until replacement chips were brought in. However no gambler has come close to winning the whole reserves of the casino. I like Las vegas Hotel and Casino places.

In July 1891 Wells went to Monte Carlo with £4000 that he had defrauded from investors in a bogus invention, a "musical jump rope." In an eleven-hour session Wells 'broke the bank' twelve times, winning a million francs. At one stage he won 23 times out of 30 successive spins of the wheel. Wells returned to Monte Carlo in November of that year and won again. During this session he made another million francs in three days, including successful bets on the number five for five consecutive turns. Despite hiring private detectives the Casino never discovered Wells's system. He later admitted it was just a lucky streak. His system was the high-risk martingale, doubling the stake to make up losses.

In April 1892, Fred Gilbert wrote a popular song, The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo. The song was popularised by the music hall star, Charles Coborn. The song helped Wells to become a celebrity. He explained that his success was because he was a brilliant engineer, who had also invented a fuel-saving device for steam-ships. He persuaded many wealthy people to invest in his invention. He made another trip to Monte Carlo in a large yacht in the winter of 1892 with his mistress. Wells explained that the yacht was to test his device. Wells broke the bank six more times but then lost his money and that of his investors, some of whom had sent additional money that he said was needed for repairs to his device. I like Las vegas Hotel and Casino places.

Wells was arrested at Le Havre and extradited to England. He was found guilty of fraud at the Old Bailey and given eight years. Later Wells served another three-year sentence for fraud and emigrated to France, where a financial scam earned him another five year sentence.

In 1926, Wells died poor in Paris. Poor guy.

Las vegas Hotel and Casino

Las Vegas (or "Vegas") is the most populous city in the state of Nevada, and a major vacation, shopping, entertainment, and gambling destination. It was established in 1905 and officially became a city in 1911. It is the largest U.S. city founded in the 20th century.
The center of gambling in the U.S., Las Vegas is marketed as The Entertainment Capital of the World, also commonly known as Sin City, due to the popularity of legalized gambling, availability of alcoholic beverages at any time (like all of Nevada), and various forms and degrees of adult entertainment. The city's glamorous image has made it a popular setting for films and television programs.

So... are you a Serious Gambler?
Certian casino games are "Beatable". By beatable, we mean that without being extraordinarily lucky, you can make money over a long termm basis playing the game. Here is the list of Las vegas Hotel and Casino games that you can win at:

• Poker (Also recognised as a game of skill)
• Blackjack -- with card counting unless a continuous shuffler is used
• Video poker -- with proper pay table and/or progressive jackpot
• Pai Gow Poker and Tiles -- player-dealt
• Sports betting
• Horse racing (parimutuel)
• Slot machines -- Las vegas Hotel and Casino linked slots payout over 100% only when multi-player jackpots reach a certain point
• Online casinos -- they give 25%-100% signup bonuses. This bonus raises the payout to arouns 115%. It's the _best odds you'll ever get!

The last two on the list surprized me. I guess online casinos can lose a few hundred dollars on each new player with the hope that the player will stick around and that they'll eventually recoup their losses. The progressive slots is kind of like the Powerball lottery. In general the payout is 25%. However, when the jackpot goes from 5M to 50M, the payout jumps from 25% to 150%. Same thing with the progressive slots. Once the jackpot gets high enough, the odds are on your side when you play...
