I am on vacation with family in Las Vegas. During my time here, I have learned that gambling is a boring thing to do. You push some buttons on a machine and hope it will give you some cash. Its not even like a hard game where you got a low score but you can still say you had fun. I just don't see the appeal.
Well, I mean, this isn't true. Or if you're only talking about slots/roulette you're experiencing roughly one two-hundredth of what gambling has to offer. But casinos suck anyway.Its not even like a hard game where you got a low score but you can still say you had fun.
The only game I had fun with in Vegas was craps. It's not nearly as complicated as it seems, unless you want it to be. Plus, there is a communal feeling around the table and everybody (usually) is excited when somebody wins, because it means they win too (usually)! Hi fives all around! The only trouble is finding a low minimum bet. I just don't have the bankroll for Vegas and get much too stressed out over losing money to have fun anymore. Check out the table games though, that's where the fun is to be had.
I just went to Vegas for the first time with my parents about a month ago and felt the same way. I didn't even understand the slot machine I was trying to play. Walked away when I lost $2 and still didn't even know what the button did. On the other hand, Vegas is great for people-watching!
Yes all kinds of people from all over the world come to Vegas. Although it's a bit sad to see all the old people just chain smoking spending all their time at the slots. Some even get food delivered to their seats. It's even worse to see the drug addicts spazzing out in the street.
You can kayak under the hoover dam next time. There are hot springs. It is pretty nice to hike up the trail and get in the hot water, then jump into the cold river, before you get back to paddling. It is 26 miles long. I like to go to casinos, get the free play money, gamble until it is luckily all real money. Use whatever perks they gave me, cash out, then leave never to return. Win every time. It is usually just a buffet coupon, 10 bucks, and something to do for a bit.
