Go to Chili's on the strip across from the Aria - everything is the same price as a normal Chili's anywhere else in the U.S.

I've done this while at 2 different conferences in the last few years. It's foolproof.

You're welcome.

If you are a high roller, like me and Vito, you can sit at a gaming table and scantily clad women with daddy issues will bring you drinks.

Chili's sounds like a plan, if you're not part of the glitteratti.

I love a good "Vegas Tip".

This however, is not one.


It was entertaining though!

Find the little mechanical horse racing game where 6 or 7 people bet on at a time. It ends up being a blast if you start roping people in, you tend to break even, and of course drinks are free. We ended up drawing a crowd. That or War.. Again you break even, nobody plays it so the card dealer is just happy to have someone to banter with. We found those at the end of our trip when we were wearing down. Ended up shitfaced for free.

Another Vegas tip for those that have never been there. Those cards the mexicans are clacking on the sidewalk have some GREAT deals on shows. Go ahead... take one... I dare you...

Played this in Tahoe. Great time.

Where is it located in Vegas?

I once played the mechanical horse race game for a couple of hours with Joe Rogan on a Thursday night before a UFC event that Saturday. He had done a stand-up show in the casino and was high AF and/or tripping. It was hilarious.

That is awesome. I have always wanted to hang with Joe Rogan for a bit. I think the guy is really funny.

Cheapskate. I like to go to Spearmint Rhino and buy dancers $100 cocktails. But they sit with me because I'm nice. The drinks have nothing to do with it.

I get out plenty. The rest of the menu is ****, but their chips and salsa are awesome.

I'll agree that the chips are awesome. The salsa is good but my wife is a salsa nut so I've tried dozens upon dozens of different salsas and I've had many that are better.

I pretty much won't eat anything else there however... Got talked into trying the menu again recently after avoiding for almost 10 years and it was actually worse.

Here is a better tip. You can sit at the bar and play .25 video blackjack and get free drinks. My wife and I got asked to leave after about 3 hours. I was making legitimate wagers but she was betting .25 about every 5 minutes.

I went to the Cosmo last time and they have a variation of blackjack where the house fronts the double down bet. I did very, very well. But it was probably $25 minimum.

Pair up with a buddy at the craps table. One bets minimum on the pass line and one bets minimum on the don't pass line. Don't add odds or bet any other numbers. No matter what happens one of you will win even money and can cover the other's loss. One exception being box cars on the come out roll where the don't pass pushes. You both have a legitimate bet on the table at all time. You are welcome.
