A trip to Vegas a couple years ago we went with about 10 people and wanted to go outside the strip, found the Silverton Casino, and proceeded to play Pai Gow until 8 the next morning...whoops!
Pai Gow is not evening gambling...it's a drinking game! Also, did I say it's one of my favorites!!!
Pai Gow is MUCH more fun at 'Card Clubs' or 'Indian Casinos' where you play against other players at the table. Nothing beats raking in dough while 3 total strangers yell at you in Mandarin.
DUAL BP? Oh man, you guys are going to be a wrecking crew.
I love sitting for 5+ hours at a gaming table (some form of poker until I win enough to go play craps) but yeah, my wife doesnt really think that is fun.
Make sure to find a way to let people know it is your bachelor party. You want to run into drunken groups of women so your non-married buddies will be able to increase their chances of being able to party like total morons with the 2 bachelors as well as meet up with an equally wild woman.
My liver hurts for you now.
Yeah, the dual bachelor party is going to be pretty nuts. We're prob going to have like 20-25 guys total. As long as no one ends up in jail or the hospital, I will consider the trip a success. Oh man, I can't fucking wait.

I've only played Pai Gow in Vegas or The Turning Stone which is an Indian Casino here in Central NY. Didn't know they even offered this variant. I would love to be yelled at in some Asian language while drinking!

I feel like a total fucking degenerate when I go and play at the local card clubs. But it is a great amount of fun and my buddy and I might be the only guys speaking English at a table. We are certain they are talking shit on us & that makes it even more fun. Barely a bit of strategy with the game so it is indeed a good one to go and get housed while playing. Being the bank is so much fun....

Vegas is a place I squirm in my seat all of the way to......and lay like a fucking zombie in my seat all of the way back from. (I am positive this is not unusual!)
I think you've stated it perfectly!

I've never been to Vegas. Joey and I have decided to plan a getaway at the end of the month and we actually thought about going...then realized that neither of us like to gamble and figured it would be more exciting to getaway somewhere we may actually enjoy more. We picked California. One day when we make it to Vegas, I'll contribute to this thread
My first notable story of Vegas was being a way easy target for this dude to rip me off when lookign to score some pot at age 17. In retrospect it's pretty funny, but at the time I was mad as hell.
The first time I went, I was walking into the MGM and a couple of people walked up to me and said they had cheap tickets for the clubs...I was totally bamboozled (not to mention drunk from the flight in). $60 and a sobering hour later I realize 2 things - a)I hate clubs b)it was a total scam.
:oops:
Well at least we learned from our mistakes!

Have you ever played Pai Gow at the Imperial Palace...that's Asian central on the strip! I LOVE that casino so much to play at!

That's the single worst part of Vegas. There's always someone with an angle there. :x

You want to talk degenerate? Try playing pai gow at the El Cortez on Fremont (oldest casino there...and it smells like it)...they've got $5 mins! While we were there, one of the workers just got off his shift and played a hand at $500. He pushed. Played again. Won. Dude walked away $500 richer within 2 minutes...said he does it EVERY DAY!

That is pretty f'd up. Guy works all day and turns around and puts $500 down. As much as I love to gamble I am very thankful it doesn't hold me by the balls as it does so many others. I learned long ago to understand on my way in what my budget was and to stick to it. Sometimes I win, most times I lose but I always have fun.

I have been in there. Don't remember if I gambled or not. I do know they used to give away six packs of soda as an enticemnet to gamble. :?
i was at a red hot chili peppers concert years ago, wearing kind of a quasi s&m punk skirt w/metal loops on it, standing at the bar at a bar in the Hard Rock and these 2 guys come up to me, one tall the other short w/dark hair and the one w/dark hair kept staring and acting kind of creepy and then the tall one talked to me and we DID not hit it off, he made up some story being from Alaska, and the moment I said I was from nyc he kind of immediately assumed i was full of myself or some other weird interpretation,,,,anyway. it turned out to be Hall and Oates, and NO I was not interested in going to a party with them. period.
fuck vegas.....lived there from 1978-2010.....yeah, there were a ton a good times, but......fuck that place. No desire, at all, to go back.

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

Yep, that is me. I let everyone else have their turn but every time it passes me I grab it.

Oh hells yeah!!! I prefer the strawberry. Mmmmmmmmmmm
Never tried the strawberry, but I'll be in New Orleans this weekend and there's like 3 Fat Tuesday's within walking distance of my hotel
Gotta keep it classy!
It's hard for me to tell Vegas stories and keep them classy.
While you're in New Orleans you should try the strawberry...also grab a steak while your at it. Ask for ketchup.
Good point!
I shall! I'll have to have a 190 octane, hurricane, and a strawberry...not sure there'll be any room for steak!!
I tend to stick with the red (and yes that's how I order it
