Stupid question about gambling in clubs?

[chrisbru]

Hey all,

I've never gambled in the tier 1 clubs before, but we're thinking about showing up early this weekend and just sitting at the tables until it gets busy. What are gambling minimums usually like? Are the tables busy? I'm guessing you don't get free drinks like at casino tables, right?

Free drinks= yes

Gambling minimum might be closer to $25 a hand for blackjack at places like Wynn, Encore, Venetian, Bellagio but you might be able to find a $10 table, but I wouldnt count on it.......if you do, it will probably be a full table because there arent many of them at those hotels at that time of night.

Youre definitly looking at least $25/hand for blackjack at the wynncore clubs like luckthirteen said. If its later on during the night, sometimes the tables get packed and theyll raise the minumum to at least $50 but since you said you'll be playing early, you wouldnt have to worry about about the $50 limit.

It's $25 minimum until the club gets relatively packed, then you're looking at $50/hand or more.

Very similar to Playboy Club - limited tables = high demand.

i played blackjack at XS and Playboy at $25 a hand.

I can dig $25/hand blackjack if the drinks are free... Until I'm too buzzed to play well :-)

i gamble at those places to challenge myself to try and make money fast.. double down on whatever, splits, bet bigger just to do a hit and and then get a bunch of shots.

My best and worst gambling times have been at those outside tables at XS.

One time I was done to my last $250 and pushed it all in. Got 2 2's against a dealer's 6. Convinced my friend to let me borrow $250 and split them. Got two face cards and stayed. Dealer flipped over a 10 and then got a 6 and busted. Colored up and got a pink chip and proceeded to drop it and almost lose it into the pool

Early on the mins are $25 and later on $50.

Not only are the drinks comped but they bring them really fast because the outside bar is right by the tables. Be wary of sitting next to people who like to order drinks for the entire table, people love ordering rounds of shots and it's very easy to get caught up in drunken energy

Yup anything they have at the bar, just like gambling inside the regular casino. Patron shots have caused a lot of trouble
