I used to hit the tables a lot (family lives in Vega$). Love blackjack, pai gow (the lovely Mrs. Schro's fav) and craps (my fav). But, we rarely go to the tables anymore. When we do, it's low stakes stuff. Dollars are directed towards kid activities now.

Love Blackjack...too much! When my ship around from Maine to Washington, I stopped in Columbia and Panama...and won a lot.  I started to track my success since I was so afraid to lose.  Started gambling at the casinos in Washington and it became like a part time job for me...winning with my incremental betting system 76% of the time.

Then I got greedy...enough said.  I only go to casinos for the shows now...lol.

I've spent a fair amount of time in Vegas but I don't care to gamble much.

I won a few hundred dollars playing a Star Wars slot machine when I blew up the Death Star (yeah, I know...lol) but usually I just enjoy watching others play or I admire the scenery (Ladies...) and architecture.  Some of the buildings & designs are amazing.  As are the Ladies...  ;-)

I do enjoy Vegas for the shows though.  Last time I went, I saw Penn & Teller and they met everyone outside the show, signing autographs & taking pictures.  Very cool of them.

I'm with Schromeister...

Never was a gambler or been a lot to casinos.....have enjoyed free drinks at the slots......hit a nickle jackpot once in Mesquite, back when actual nickles start dumpin' out....had to grab a bucket and filled that baby up.....60 bucks if I remember correctly.

Not a big gambler, don't like just throwing money away.   But as I live 1/2 from two different casinos in the summer, often take company there for entertainment and blow/win a few bucks. Unfortunately I'm not a big enough percentage of Native American to claim my share.   Love Vegas, the lights, the shows, the whole works.

I'm a big fan of blackjack and craps.  At my bachelor party, me and two other guys took a table for just under $50,000.  We each started with $200.  It was a crazy 7 hours at the table.

Some years ago I got to go Vegas for five days all expenses paid by my ex's boss.  She insisted on going to see Cirque de Solie....it literally left me spellboudn.  It was one of the greatest shows I ever saw.   Would really like to see some of the others.    Maybe we need a sly road trip to Vegas ;)

The only game I play is Roulette... I know, pretty boring and odds of winning suck, but when you hit a number, you hit BIG!!  I'm up about $500 lifetime on the tables...
