And why are you going by yourself and leaving your gf behind?


Because he's smart.

And yeah, $2k is a decent budget. I go about twice a year for long weekends or a week and usually spend about that. I play poker and don't really gamble outside of that and have a dedicated bankroll for it though so you might consider bringing a little more than that if you wanted to gamble depending on the type of partier/gambler you are.

If you're not paying, might a well. If you are, it's not worth it IMO. I used to live in Vegas for about 8 months and I hated it


Why did you hate it?

7% untaxed growth in a Roth would become roughly $8860 by the time I'm 50 (after inflation). At that point my net worth would be increasing roughly $100,000 every year, so 8/100 * 12 months

$2K for an entire Vegas trip is amazing. I usually bring $2k cash as gambling money by itself. Don't be scared to gamble. Be prepared to deal with a lot of donkeys if you plan to sit at a 1/2 NL table though. That's chump change for a lot of guys and they will call any bet. Sit and wait for the nuts is probably your best strategy and let some idiot pay you off and get the hell out of dodge. That's the one perk of playing at a 2/5 table. People tend to play more cautiously since the pots can get kind of ridiculous.

Where are you staying?

Don't remember where I'm staying.

But yes I would play 1/2 and be an absolute turtle like I always am. I do not have the balls to ever play 2/5.

Yeah go for it as long as you can spend up to 2k why not? Chances are you'll spend a lot less unless you plan to go all out.

I spent four days at Vegas $1500. Granted we had a really nice deal on the penthouse. Also cheap airline choice.

What up TC something to keep in mind since you are planning to go to the Mojave desert in summertime is that it would look be at least 110. Yeah you'll be in AC as much as possible but it will be very hot there.

I lived in that city for three years and got so tired of tourists complaining about the summer weather.

Yeah I always go in winter to avoid the heat. Vegas is a lot of fun during winter time IMO, love bundling up and walking the strip.

honestly i would too then

no point if it's not with people you don't really know

too much time spent kinda testing the water, finding out what's funny, what's okay, what's cool to joke about, etc. etc.

Flights sure, but if you want to stay on the strip during the weekend rooms are expensive. And staying on the strip is the only way to do Vegas right.

When you do go, Vegas is a place where a tip for the person checking you in goes a long way. Give the person a $20 when they ask for your ID and card at check in and say that its your first time in Vegas and someone told you that a tip can get you a room upgrade. They will move you to a strip view at the least and sometimes an entire different class of room. I have gotten upgrades at almost every time i'm out there doing this, its well worth it.
