Gamble For Free

In Las Vegas, the casino resorts are once again pushing the bargains, bonuses and buffets. The recession has hit hard and to such an extent that you can get rooms at hotels for less than 50 bucks and the quarter slots are back to being very popular again. Value for your money is what Vegas is all about during these tough times.

True gambling benefits can be had now in Vegas with all the low cost rooms and special deals offered in the casino resorts. Occupancy in January dropped to 70% which way below the usual 90% average of Vegas. Weekends are different though. The Imperial Palace has currently a deal where you get 1 night and all meals and all drinks for just $95. And just to show how much times have changed in Vegas, the Luxor hotel casino has used modern technology in the form of Twitter, to advertise their buffet deal. Even Michelin-starred restaurants in Vegas are offering discounts.

Here’s a great gambling benefit for casino fans in Vegas… gamble on a budget with Pai Gow poker. It’s a variant of a Chinese gambling game that is played with dominoes and stakes to play it are equal or less than any blackjack table. The benefit is that you stay longer in the game compared to blackjack.
How does Pai Gow poker work? You have to assemble 7 cards dealt to you into two separate hands: one with 5 cards and another with 2 cards. You have to try and beat the dealer on both hands. To fill a straight or a flush, a single can be used as an ace or as a wild card. If you win one hand but lose the other means it is a push and no money gets won or lost. This happens most times during the game.
Getting around Vegas has its benefits too with free trams that run 24 hours a day between the Strip. Harrah’s casino also runs a free shuttle service for their guests every 30 minutes from Caesars Palace, to the Rio, to Harrah’s and then to Paris.
