Places to avoid in Vegas

I'll save you the trouble and give you the benefit of my reading of the archives here:
  • Stay out of downtown - it sucks
  • Stay off the Strip - it sucks

No idea, but probably not.

Just having fun with the way that, no matter what city, region, or casino you're talking about here, somebody here has said that it sucks.

The problem is I'm a redchipper.


Flash will be along soon to tell you you are wasting your time, but don't be discouraged. Trop has a good signup bonus but it involves playing slots. Its even better if you plan on making a second trip.
Will you have a car?

Downtown sucks.....Yes! Strip sucks....someplaces, but there are many playable games. Especially the lower end where you are staying. Concentrate on MGM properties, which other than Trop is basically all there is down there...:laugh:)

If you decide you must experience downtown and being thrown out of EC (you won't be thrown out btw, just backed off) take the airport express bus which you can catch on Tropicana Road, on the side of the Trop, rather than the Duece or downtown express buses which run up and down the strip. The Airport express is much faster, less crowded and cheaper. :)

1-5 on DD is not worth it, even in the two good downtown red chip games. By the way, I heard they're flat-betting nickel players at EC now! A new approach to diplomacy, I suppose (and faster than a backoff).

If you can't afford 1-5 on DD downtown (which will probably be a moot point anyway, given your lack of transportation), you may as well forget about the south Strip properties. Like KJ says, there are reasonably-playable games there, but expect to see $5 minimums only around, say, 6am on a Wednesday. There are exceptions, which you'll find, but I would focus on getting more money in that bankroll first.

Heading to Vegas finally. All the stars and constellations have aligned for me!

We are staying at Southe Pointe got a room for $42. I have never been there before. If the casino isn't good we will have our car so we can drive to the strip.

Been practicing tons on Basic strategy and card counting. I'll have fun and hopefully win a little money. I am a low roller for sure.
