About Las Vegas
If
you are going to Las Vegas for the very first time there is a way that
you can save time if you are going to be playing the slots. Part of the
reason that you are going to Las Vegas is because of the slots, right?
If not, don't worry you will want to play the slots even if just for a
short spin. I usually put a certain amount of money in my pocket and
when that amount is gone, I know exactly how much I have spent and
whether I want to take more from the wallet to continue playing. If the
money is going too fast you will want to hold back so you will have
some game time for the next day.
The first thing that you will want to do is get a Players Club card, in other hotels it will be called something different, but basically it measures how much money you spend in the slots. You will want this card because if you spend a lot you can get freebies like, free meals, t-shirts, free game play, and if you spend a heck of a lot you may get your room free! Get the card before you start playing and then have fun! But, I highly recommend getting the MGM Players Club card because it is good in all of these hotels:
ARIA, Bellagio, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, The Mirage, Monte Carlo, New York-New York, Luxor, Excalibur
I could have sworn that we used the same card at Treasure Island but it is not listed on their affiliate page so I could be mistaken. Still, you have eight or nine hotels that use the same card and for every game you play you are gaining points. You may not feel as though you are spending a lot of cash, but you still may be eligible for freebies!!
Good Luck!

When
thinking about transportation in Las Vegas you really should consider
taking the Limousine to your hotel room and then using Taxi cabs to get
to your next destination. A lot of people get to Las Vegas and rent a
car. If you are traveling to the damn and other attractions then the
rental car would be the way to go, but if you are simply going to your
hotel and then to other hotels in and around Las Vegas you will make
out cheaper to simply use the cab system. I have done both on my many
trips to Vegas and the Taxi system always seemed to be cheaper and
quicker with no parking lots to manuever and no floor numbers to
remember. Plus, if you are traveling and gambling in other casinos you
really should consider taking a Taxi, it is not only cheaper but it is
also safer, and
we want you to have a blast!

Basic poker rules of
Texas Hold'em style poker
Texas Hold'em is played in the main event of the World Series of Poker, and is considered by many the most complex and strategic form of poker. In the game everyone tries to make the best 5 card hand they can out of five community cards
and two personal cards.
In modern games the blinds are then posted. The blinds are forced bets. The player to the left of the dealer puts in the small blind, and the player to the left of the small blind pays the big blind, which is typically twice the small blind.
This represents the minimum bet once the action begins.
Each player is dealt two cards face down called the hole cards, which they aim to keep secret. Then the first round of betting ensues, with the player to the left of the big blind acting first.
After this, a card is discarded and three cards are dealt face up in the middle of the table. These cards are called the flop, and are the first three community cards. There is another round of betting, beginning this time with the small blind.
One more card is discarded and one more community card is dealt, called the turn.
There is another round of betting, again starting with the small blind, then a discard, and then the final card, called the river, is dealt. There is one final round of betting and then the players who have not folded turn over their cards.
