Default Las Vegas ?
I am planning a trip for early next year, i have never been there, and really dont know anything about the place, i have done my research on the internet but i want to hear from ppl who have been. I dont have any clue how much cash i should bring for a week, that is the main thing i am worried about, what to bring ? when i go on vacation or go to gamble i bring a set ammount, if i lose that, its over... no credit cards and stuff like that. What should i do there, where should i consider staying ? anything will help
thanks joe

I went there on a business trip a year and a half ago.. Stayed at the venetian (very beautiful and not outrageously priced).

Got there with $100 in my pocket and left with $800.

(finished 3rd in a hold em' tourney at the venetian... $115 buy in - toughest tourney i've ever been in (not that ive been in a ton))

I am NOT a LIAR

I've got people to back me up ask John Perrotta if you don't believe me! He was there in Vegas.

Also in the first two tourney's i've ever played in (at a casino) in Tucson, AZ at the Indian casino... the 1st one I played in I chopped w/ 5 others out of a total of 100 players.

The second time I played I outright won the whole damn thing out of 90 players. Was piss drunk by the end and won like 5 straight head to heads with the last guy to win it all. It was the day I gradumacated from college.

I've played in 6 casino tourney's and was at the final table 5 times, with a win, chop, 3rd, 5th and 7th.

I am not that good with cash games.

If ya dont believe me about that PM Tiznowthegreat, he was there with me.
