These secrets are not just any ordinary tips on what you should do to hit the jackpot at Las Vegas casinos. We won’t tell you how you can get a good hand or how to beat the dealer, but we will certainly surprise you with some legit pieces of advice on how to get the most out of your Las Vegas experience. Here are some tips from employees and local Las Vegas residents who know the site inside out. You won’t read these tips in any Las Vegas guides, so prepare to be surprised!

Secret #1 Like a Local

If you enter the casino, sit down to play poker and hear the dealer greets every single person sitting at the table, get up and leave! Here is why: these players are regulars, and probably locals, so they actually make their living outplaying chumps like you…

So what you actually need to do in this situation is to ask a casino manager to change the table. Or just search for another poker room. You should definitely look for a table with other tourists like you. Ideally, that would be all those drunk tourists who came to lose all their money and have the time of their lives. Sure, you can’t exactly predict such a situation, and you can’t anticipate when it’s going to happen. However, this is still a good tip you should keep in mind the next time you’re sitting at the poker table in a casino!

Tip #2 Fashion Is Our Passion

If you want to feel the luxury of the Las Vegas Strip, you should definitely know where to go. The Cosmopolitan is the brand-new and fancy hotel in Las Vegas. That’s what makes this hotel the perfect place to gamble all your money away; plus, you’ll find yourself doing it among the rich and powerful too!

Another tip that will come in handy: if you are playing at Cosmopolitan on a Monday, Friday, or Saturday night, try to find yourself a place at the table below the elevator that leads up to the hottest club in the Strip area – Marquee. That’s the most fascinating place for people-watching in Vegas!

Tip #3 It All Goes Round in Circles

If you are a fan of casinos and gambling, you might know that pretty much every casino has a special circle bar that is designed specifically for networking purposes. So what we recommend for you here is to get acquainted with people and make new friends at the circle bar. The turnover rate is high here, so even if some drunk weirdos start bothering you, they won’t be doing it for long.

The only people you won’t be able to befriend here are the locals, because they don’t actually have drinks at the circle bar. They visit Las Vegas purely for business reasons, and they never start friendships with newcomers.

Tip #4 Craps, I Won Again!

One of the most exciting games of chance you’re ever going to encounter at a casino is craps. “Why?” you might ask. Because of the great atmosphere of togetherness and support the player feels when the crowd is cheering them on to their win. So here, the basic rules include betting on the Pass Line and sticking to the crowd. This is the closest thing you can get to a 50/50 chance of winning. The same goes for betting on Don’t Pass Line; but this one would have a pretty negative effect on the overall atmosphere at the Craps table.

Tip #5 Pretend To Be a High Roller

Here’s another tip to put on your “bucket list.” Keep in mind that casinos have special comp points for regular players and high-rollers. Not only are you going to be provided with the best free drinks available but you might also benefit from the impeccable service that is on offer, along with free dinners, sports event tickets, and even free rooms in some nice hotels. For instance, Mandalay Bay offers some pretty sweet room comps, just in case you were wondering.

And yes, you got it! The most important thing is to learn how to be a high roller, even if you’re not actually one yet. It’s really not that difficult! Just act as if you came there to spend a whole fortune, even if you have only $100 available; because the casino employees don’t have much time to check if the player is legitimately a high-roller. So all you have to do is ask for a larger marker, like $1,000 for each $100 you are planning on spending.

Tip #6 Gambling + Shopping = Perfect Formula

All huge Las Vegas casino complexes offer you a possibility to spend your cash at their boutiques, so you don’t have to go anywhere to buy some souvenirs or an outfit for a cocktail party organized by your hotel. Usually, these shops are several times more expensive to shop at than usual boutiques. They will charge you a double of what you are initially supposed to spend, assuming you’ve probably just hit it big at their casino.

However, some casinos display a really good choice of boutiques, where you can find whatever you are looking for. First of all, you can shop trouble-free at Caesars’ Palace Forum Shops. And another good choice for a frequent Sin City visitor like yourself would be the Miracle Mile at Planet Hollywood.

Tip #7 Giftshop Wisely

You’re surely going to be able to find the perfect gift at the hotel shop or at the airport; however, you’re going to have to pay double. So what we advise you here is to go to the Gambler’s General Store, where you’ll be able to purchase some really valuable gaming souvenirs for a good price. What they’ve got out of the ordinary are blackjack shoes, multi-colored dice, old-fashioned casino tokens, and pretty much anything related to the gaming industry. Just take a quick trip to this place; you definitely won’t be disappointed!

Tip #8 Another Tip: Don’t Gamble at Strip!

Native people who live in Las Vegas don’t usually go to the Las Vegas Strip to gamble. Fremont Street is a place they usually visit for some gambling action. This place is also known as Downtown and features some pretty classic casinos like Four Queens, El Cortez, etc. Despite not being as fancy as Sin City Casinos, these babies have something to surprise you with. They usually feature the cheapest table games in town, and the rules always favor the player. On visiting one of the casinos there, don’t hesitate to stop by one of the local peculiarities: Don’t Tell Mama (piano bar), Insert Coins (video arcade bar), as well as Beauty Bar (band bar).

Tip #9 Don’t Forget About the Sports Betting

Even though you might not be a fan of some particular sports team (we highly doubt it, though!) you can enjoy the atmosphere of sports betting at a local bar in Las Vegas. In the US, this activity is exceptionally family-friendly, as everybody does it; even grandmothers!

Sports betting is illegal in most states; however, Nevada offers you the pleasure of betting without any limits! This means that this kind of gambling is legal in this state, and well, let’s just put it this way – people LOVE betting on sports! Here we are talking about all sorts of sporting events: from horseback riding to the Olympic Games!

The casino that will offer you the most energetic spots book is MGM Grand, even though it’s not the fanciest place out there.

Conclusion

Now that you know some tips and tricks that only true Las Vegans actually know, you’re free to take your Sin City adventures to the next level! Even the dullest place there has its hidden gems, which are easy to find once you know more about local peculiarities. Don’t be afraid to change your gaming routine and go off the beaten path, because the most interesting stuff happens outside our comfort zone!
