I am definately not a high roller, just plan to spend a couple hundred at blackjack or other table games. Might even play some video poker. Which casino is the best in Vegas? Which one gives you the best comps, free drinks, etc…
we are staying on the strip, but planning to go to Fremont St.

I like the Orleans and downtown casinos to gamble like 4 queens, Fitzgerald, and main street station..
Notice these are all off the strip casinos and they usually have better odds then the strip casinos. Orleans is a good one and thats where i stay when in vegas.

Putting a couple of hundred into action (that’s what they call it, “action” rather than “spending”) won’t get you any comps.
They all give free drinks but the most frequent free drink service will be at the smallest casinos.
On the strip, I wouldn’t gamble anywhere except Slots A Fun (next to Circus Circus) and maybe O’Sheas. I was just there last month and walking through the strip casinos was depressing. They all have the same silly stupid machines that look like children’s video games, and high limit table games.
Your best odds are downtown at the lowroller casinos like El Cortez and Gold Spike. 9/7 and 9/6 video poker is a thing of the past on the strip. Nearly all machines are fancy multiplayer games with terrible odds. Table games on the strip are silly… Pai Gow poker, Caribbean Stud, Casino War, blackjack with six decks and 6:5 payoffs on blackjacks.
The one oddity I did notice last month was a new kind of Texas Hold Em game where you play against a dealer like blackjack. What was odd about it is that the dealer can’t fold, even if his hand stinks. I thought that might be an advantage for players. You can’t go “all in” or bet like in a regular poker game though, so I’m not sure if these new Hold Em games are worth trying or not.
