My husband and I are leaving for Las Vegas in a few days. This is a planned trip. Our first time visit, too!
We might do a little gambling. Or not. It does seems like cash is flying out the window with DH's return. It would be nice to win some. But my hopes are not high.
Have you been to Las Vegas? Did you gamble and win? Tell me about it.

Vegas is a pretty cheap trip to us. It's close and the hotel deals are a steal. We usually attend the time share presentations - the rewards are pretty lucrative. I've also stayed at several NICE hotels for $30-ish a night over the years.
My husband is the type to play $40 (total) all night long at the tables (pai gow poker and blackjack - better odds than most the rest). I'll do nickel slots. I do NOT like the tables. Our friends got me hooked on Keno.
We don't gamble big so we never win big!

I just saw that you can zip line through Fremont Street. Supposedly $20. Sounds like a steal!

I found it difficult to find trinkets to bring home for friends; they were either cheap and sleazy or expensive and sleazy. I had planned to go to a mall but time slide away.

@monkeymama: My hairdresser mentioned that zipline. Might have to check it out and at least watch others do it!

I am not a big gambler. I enjoy watching the action...and seeing the free sites, which there are many of.
One thing to watch out for are the creepy people handing out things on the sidewalks...X-rated, and disgusting.
Have fun!!!
