When you are first going to Las Vegas it would be easy to get lost, and I know that you have already looked up a bunch of guides to try and find your way. I can guarantee you that this guide will be the best one that you are have ever read and that it will help you both plan and execute the perfect trip to Las Vegas. I will be going over about what time you should go the casinos, the best games to get the most bang for your buck, how to set yourself a budget, and when you should walk away from certain games.
In this list, I will do my best to be as thorough as possible so that you get the full experience without too much of the loss that could be associated with a casino.
Best time to go to the casinos, and what time is the worst
You should be maximizing your efficiency, and what that means in this sense is that you need to be going to the casino when you will be earning the most money. At 10 AM and 6 PM, the casinos have the fewest number of customers, and this means that you should avoid going at these times. On the opposite end of that spectrum, they have the largest number of customers at 6 PM – 10 PM, while these are the best times, the best day is Friday, and this means that 6 PM – 10 PM on Friday is prime time.
Going at these times means that there will be a lot more people there to play against, and what that is going to do for you is set you up for success. So if you really want to plan it out then these are the perfect and the least optimal times for going.
What are the best casinos to go to?
The best casinos for you to go to will be a much more opinionated topic, but I will give you what I think are the best casinos. Using some sites to help corroborate ratings and reviews, we then will be taking the top 3 highest rated casinos in all of Las Vegas.
The first casino and the highest rated of them all with over 6,000 reviews is the Wynn Las Vegas Casino, which is located at 3131 Las Vegas Blvd. The Wynn had the highest 5-star ratings of all the casinos, has almost 100 restaurants nearby to the casino and has 40 different attractions within less than half a mile.
The second casino and the second highest-rated of them all with over 1,400 reviews are the Palazzo Resort Casino, which is located at 3325 Las Vegas Blvd. The Palazzo Resort Casino is within a half-mile of over 150 restaurants and 62 other popular attractions.
The third casino and the third highest-rated with over 2,000 reviews is the Casino At The Venetian, which is located at 3355 Las Vegas Blvd S. This casino is located within half a mile of over 150 different restaurants, and 65 unique and popular attractions as well.
The best games to play?
The first game that I will recommend you play to really start gaining some profit is live poker, and the reason I suggest this one first is that you can get really good at playing poker. There are a lot of different types of poker, but I recommend that you stick with Texas Hold ’em, so that you don’t get confused with all the different rules. If you practice and get really good, then that means that you will have the odds in your favour, and having the odds in your favour means that winning will be much easier. You can practice playing poker with your friends so that you know the rules and how to win. Once you get pretty good at then you can take it to the high-stakes tables in Vegas, and if you are good then you will be earning a lot of money by winning all the time.
The second game to play would be blackjack, and this game is even easier than poker. Blackjack, which is also called 21, is a great game for beginners as well, and the reason that it is so easy is that the only goal is to get as close to 21 without going over. With rules this simple it all comes down to mastering the art of the bluff, and when you do that then you will be set.
The third game to play is slots, and this one is different from the other two on the list, but it is still effective. The reason that this one is different in that it relies on luck far more than the other two, and this hinges on the fact that you can’t really get good at playing slots. This game does have a lot of positives, so it is still very worth playing. With how carefree it is you don’t have to be worried or high-strung.
How to set yourself a budget
When going to Las Vegas you want to make sure that you won’t be overspending at the casinos, and the best way to do this is to set yourself an extremely strict budget. When you’re in the casino you are going to talk yourself into spending more, but if you don’t have the money on hand or accessible then you can’t spend it all. The way that you do this is to pull all the money you want to send out at the ATM, and then you leave your debit card, band card, credit card, and any other way to access your funds in your hotel room somewhere hidden. What this does is it will make you walk all the way back to the room to try and get more money, and during this time you will be thinking it over, so by the time you reach the room, you will realize you don’t need to spend anymore.
When to walk away from a game
We don’t want anyone betting it all on black or anything crazy like that, and in the same vein, we don’t want anyone blowing all their money at the slot machines. What you can do is set a fixed amount like $20, and when you lose $20 you will then quit playing that game. With this simple method, you will be able to play a lot of games and not rack up crazy losses.
In conclusion
Las Vegas casinos can be amazing places where you will have a lot of fun, but if you aren’t careful then you will come away losing far more than you expected. Make sure you use this guide to keep you out of trouble, and you can refer to it anytime you need some guidance.
