Planning and simming my first Vegas trip. Excited. Strictly a counter. No HC experience yet, let us see!!

1) Will be playing on a weekday, one full day - 20 hours straight, Green chip player. Planning to hit and run. I employ 1-16 spread on my home 6D games. I would love to play a good DD game since I do not get to see in my home store. What spread is good enough for a DD game? 1-8?

2) I need at least 5 casinos where I could concentrate play on. Looking for good 2D games even if they are counter traps. PM me if you wish.

3) Any casino offer Baby care services? Do they offer it only for checked in guests? - Let me know if anyone has experienced. I would like to at least play for 2 hours with my wife in Vegas. And circus circus seem to be a good place for the kids to spend in the indoor theme park. Any other suggestion?

Thanks all in advance

Leave the kids at home and play the double games at Aria, Bellagio, Mirage, and Wynn with DD and S17. 1-8 is a good spread. Hit and run after high counts. Running/walking between these casinos is also good for your health using plenty of water.

Personally, I love Circus Circus. Then again, I also really enjoy Ellis Island, Casino Royale, Bighorn, and even Slots-a-Fun! So you can probably disregard my opinion on this subject. There are at least 3 very good DD games not listed in the last post if you don't mind heat. They're not on the south Strip.

He's talking about our new member CasinoExaminer, who seems suspiciously similar to a member who was banned 3 times about a year ago.

Good luck getting in those kind of hours in one day in 5 stores spreading green 1-8. They better be all close together if you want ANY chance. You'll be lucky to get an hour in at each and then have to move along......coming back on the next shift. Just remember: dealer, pit, and surveillance shifts stagger.

You'd take your wife and kids to Circus Circus? Leave the kids there at the arcade?

As others have posted, it is dumpy, but with the indoor theme park seems good for the family. Could stay at a nearby cleaner casino and make visits there.

Some well known places I enjoyed with the family: MGM Lion's habitat, Flamingo wildlife habitat, Mirage volcano theme, Bellagio fountain theme, Freemont Street experience.

These are not as known but after some internet digging explored these places: Shark Tank at Golden Nugget pool, Sam's Town western canyon theme Mystic Falls Park, aquarium at Silverton Casino located on the outskirts and next door to cool, huge Bass Pro Shop w/ stuffed animals. If you're an outdoors type, you have to take a day, or at least half a day to nearby canyons, such as Red Rock. Lots to mention, just thought I'd name a few.

Slots-a-Fun rules! That's where I started counting. $1 tables, first introduction to whole bottles of beer(not AC dixie cups) served at a table, hanging at the bar for $.75 margaritas(not bad tasting either) w/ coupon book from Circus Circus. Free spin on the mega wheel. If you do spend some time at Circus Circus, Slots-a-Fun is right there. My friends and I always settled down there days end after a tiresome day of exploring all of Vegas.

If your wife never tried blackjack it's a fun place to start. My wife gave it a shot there and had a blast. :grin:
