Gambling in Las Vegas

Each casino on the list has its own selling point, starting at Number Ten, lets get this countdown started. Drumroll please........

Venice in the desert, offers every game on which to win money, the Venetian specialises for particularly those who have more money than most. This casino prides itself on extravagance. If you have the money, and want to be treated like royalty, then this is the place to spoil yourself!

Take a cruise down the canals on a gondola if you're not feeling lucky. If you are one of those lucky folks who have no need to count their money, then why not enjoy your own private exclusive gaming room with your very own dealer and butler! Wouldn't it be nice!

The Venetian is well known for the quality of its complimentaries and freebies. Gamble enough and you will be sleeping in luxury in the Casino's very own 5 star hotel, or at the very least you will get 2 for 1 buffet.

The Rio offers some great gambling in a carnival atmosphere, but more famously it offers the best free show in town - "The Masquerade Show in the Sky"

There are rail tracks on the ceiling which transport the carnival parade right through the casino, six times a day, as you gamble away. Its a very fun place to be and a fun place to gamble.

The Bellagio is known for being one of the classiest casinos in town. The Bellagio has all the usual games in a very comfortable and distinguished environment.

The Bellagio is most famous for being the "hang out" for the big-time poker players. Among serious gamblers, poker is considered to be the queen of games. So if you enjoy your Texas Holdem, or any other form of poker, the Bellagio is the place to try your luck and utilise your skill. The Bellagio caters for all budgets with the largest poker room in Nevada, so you too can feel like a high roller whilst not blowing the budget. Table limits in the poker room start as low as $25

If you are looking for a taste of the old vegas, the way that is used to be....then look no further than Binion's Horseshoe Casino!

The Horseshoe is all about Gambling, plain and simple. This is the place to go if you love your blackjack. You will find more single-deck blackjack games here than anywhere in town. For those who are new to blackjack, single-deck will give you the best chance of winning because you can predict more accurately which card may come out of the deck next. The Horseshoe also caters for those people with very little in their pockets. Most casinos will have a minimum of $25 per hand, but not here at Horseshoe, $5 is all you need. Amazingly during the week you can even play $2 blackjack. A great place for novices to learn the game without risking a fortune.

Every casino in Las Vegas has a sportsbook but no-one takes it as serious as the Wynn Casino. This casino offers odds on every sport under the sun. For anyone who understands the language of spreads and unders/overs, this is the place to be. All the serious sportsbettors love this place simply because they offer early odds and some of the best odds in all of Las Vegas. The Wynn is without doubt the most comfortable sportsbook in Vegas.

The Wynn caters for not just the experienced bettors but also for the novices. So if you love your sport, try betting on your favourite teams at the Wynn, its twice the fun when you Wynn!

For anyone who loves their slot machines, this place is Nirvana in Nevada! The Green Valley Ranch is one of the more recent casinos, upon they have the best slot floors in Las Vegas. The Green Valley Ranch is some way from the strip and draws mainly locals. The locals are smart gamblers, so they know where to find the best odds in Vegas, so be smart and get yourself to the Green Valley Ranch and enjoy the best slots in town!

This casino offers a whopping 2,400 slot machines, so there will be no problems with getting on your favourite machine. The best thing about the Green Valley Ranch is that they have the most high tech slots in town, but they have also kept some of the old school favourites with the handle at the side.

The Green Valley is home to the famous "Raining Diamonds" slot machines. These slots pay out in actual diamonds at the machine. These diamonds are not fake, they are not cheap, they are 100% real bought out of New York. Each diamond has its own certificate! Very cool

Everybody loves a freebie!
Thats why everybody should visit the Lady Luck Casino!

This place loves to compliment its guests with freebies, and the best thing is, you dont have to be a big fish, they look after the minnows too! Lady Luck prides itself on having the best comps in town. Whether it be 2 for 1 buffet, free coffee shops vouchers, a free limo to ride around town, show tickets, even free nights in the hotel. So even if you have a bad run at the tables, those who gamble at Lady Luck always walk away with something.

The home of "free money"

The Stratosphere Casino is located between The Strip and Fremont Street, so basically it is in no-mans land. You may be wondering why this place is in the top ten with such an introduction. Because of its location, this casino offers very good deals to get customers to the casino. Many slot machines take 16% of all the money wagered, but not here at the Stratosphere which take as little as 2%, giving gamblers a great chance to win big.

The biggest incentive they have is an offer which they call "free money". There is a catch - its only for first time players at the Stratosphere. All you need to do is sign up, get your players card and play the slots like crazy for 30 minutes. After that, the casino gives back 15% of everything wagered, which is refered to as "coin in". "Coin in" is not measured on your initial investment. So say you start with $100 and run that through the machine, of course your going to get payouts, and then you keep re-investing that, so your hundred dollars may end up to be many hundreds or even thousands in "coin in". Now the casino will give you 15% of that figure, and of course it doesnt matter if you win or lose. On top of the cash back, depending on your amount wagered, you will be offered a room at a reduced rate, even a complimentary room in some cases. Free money is free money!!

Another bonus to this casino is the great Roulette on offer. Most casinos in Las Vegas have two "zeros" on the wheel, however the Stratosphere only has one "zero" which halves the casinos advantage, meaning the gambler has a much better chance of winning! The odds are never going to be in the punter's favour in Vegas, but they certainly come very close at the Stratosphere, and that is why it is Number 3 on the countdown.

The Palms casino makes Number 2 on the countdown, because it is the home of Video Poker in Las Vegas.

Mathematically, value for money depends on how much money casinos return to their punters. Here at the Palms Casino, they are famous for returning the most on Video Poker. They even have machines that pay out over 100% on what they take in! Believe me, this is amazing! The reason they do payout over 100% is because there is so much competition on the Strip. If you are a smart gambler, you will learn how to play Video Poker correctly, which will take you about 10 mins to learn(google it!). You can also get yourself a cheat sheet from the Palms gift shop which will show you how to play perfectly. Many punters will not learn, so they will make bad decisions and the casino will make money off them, which more than makes up for those players that are smart and winning money(like me!).

The Palms is a must for all gamblers and that is why it is Number 2 on the countdown.

The MGM Grand, you can't miss it, it's the largest casino in Nevada with 180,000 sq ft of space, it could hold more than 4 football fields. If one area doesnt appeal, find another. The MGM is like a dozen casinos all under the same roof. Its all about size and majesty at the MGM. They have more forms of entertainment than any other place in the world!

With over 150 gaming tables, 3000 slot machines and every game imaginable, there will be no searching or fighting for a spare seat.

The biggest, the most, the best, size doesnt count!!
