have u ever been? i never did and never had the desire. but i am being forced to go now for a friends Birthday. i do NOT gamble, i do not!! i cant morally gamble with my money having so many habits, so i am going to be well prepared. my aim is to get obliterated. i am sitting on 4 hits of good Lucy and a BaLL of PoW*wOw*WoW! not sure what im going to do..
just curious about a few things... do i have to dress formal? cus i dont.. will they throw me out for looking "outrageously" Hello Kitty RAVE? will they throw me out if i get to wasted? does anyone else carry around stuffed animals? do they search you? or have metal detectors? i fear there are cameras EVERYwhere like on TV even in the bathrooms. will they notice if i visit the bathroom every 20 minutes to Powder my Nose? i wont be gambling but i will be with a big group that will.. i hear there is free alcohol drinks? is it beer? or liquor? mixed drinks? whats the catch...?

You can dress however you want unless they are dipshits
Everyone there is wasted most likely, either that or on drugs
If you want free drinks, just stand by a table where people are playing and they will hand you free drinks...
Just don't get to the point where you are stumbling around and you'll be OK

They may throw you out if you are tooo wasted but not stuffed animals and the way you dress (they threw me out one time because i was just drinking and not gambling). I guess they aren't going to search you and they don't have metal detectors, but they do have many cameras. At least it's like that where i live. I gamble a lot btw, its fun

I went to Foxwoods casino a few years ago (largest casino in the world apparently). I dressed however the fuck I wanted. Was there for a 3 day convention for work.
It doesn't help when you are up a couple grand on roulette and black jack in the first few hours of arriving and still have 2 1/2 more days left. Don't gamble on speed. Or alcohol. And for gods sake, DON'T use their ATM's unless you want some $6-8 surcharges every time you pull money out.
You can dress however the fuck you want. Most of the slot monkeys are old age pensioners with Hawaiian shirts that would put Hunter S Thompson to shame.
The casino floors are under HEAVY surveillance. They have to protect from cheats and scammers. Bathrooms, no. There are probably laws against that.
From my limited experience, they only serve you free drinks when you are gambling. If you are playing shots you get crap watered down cocktails. If you are playing decent card games you get the good stuff. Anything to keep you bleeding money. What's $1 worth of gin when it causes you to lose $500?
Evil evil places.

im a bit of a casino buff, been to vegas, reno, tahoe, atlantic city, and every casino in illinois.
So... here's the skinny. Gambling, one hell of an addictive thing. I have lost more than ill ever win, and I won 5 grand a few times in a single bet.
drinks are free in vegas, and reno, and most nevada casinos, slot parlors, and truck stop casinos.
Anything pretty much goes in all of nevada... there is not a security procedure to get into the casinos, you just walk in the door, and if you gamble, they selectively card you depending on appearance, age, how drunk you are etc...
as for dress codes... usually you cant be scantily clad. Walking in like a dirty raver of sorts will raise eyebrows, being loaded up on drugs and looking 'normal' will not. I've ground scored more pharmaceuticals on casino floors than i ever have at my last 7 years of festival hopping.
As far as searching, and cameras, and such... they may ID you once when you go into the casino, some people photograph all people under 30 upon entry... usually once you're in, youre in. They really dont care if your not gambling, as long as you arent taking up space at the tables, or slots preventing other people from gambling on busy nights.
there is usually about any sort of drink you would want, beer, mixed drinks, etc... usually the selection is not that great. very few have a good high end selection of whiskey's or anything that resembles craft beer (with the exception being horseshoe casino in Hammond, Indiana. They have some excellent locally made Craft Beers)
what casino were you thinking about going to?

except for the saucer eyes. :p
on the topic of casino's like you I was totally apprehensive about going.. I've only been once and I don't remember which either one one of those big ones getting out toward the coast of WA.
Anyways, I walked around forever just trying to pick a machine I was playing slots. My pops told me to pick one with max bet and bonus rounds... I put about 20 bucks in and max betted. Ended up cashing out about 180. not bad for not even wanting to go there in the first place..

lol. You won't really get a drink unless you're gambling.
And it definitely won't be anything top shelf in Vegas unless you pay out of your :butt:.

When I went to Vegas and Reno I always got free drinks. Sure if you go to the bar you will pay but the cocktail waitresses will go and get you a drink, just tip them. I always got beer cause the free mixed drinks where pretty week. The catch is you have to be playing. So if you are at the slot machines just kick back and throw a quarter in anytime you see the waitress.
If you get trashed and can't maintain there is a chance you will get the boot. Just don't stagger to much, bump into people or basically cause attention. Of course if you are trashed and playing the games, ex. losing money then they wont care.
One night in Vegas I was up late watching relatives gamble so I went across the street bought a 12 back and left it in the hotel room. I would then grab about 4 bottles of beer and put em in my jacket and drink those. I was pretty dunk but didn't have a problem, just kept it on the down low. Not sure if I needed to though.
No reason to dress up but if you go to places like the Ballagio you might feel a little bit out of place, then again maybe not, it's been years. The water fountain there is kick ass though.
I really doubt they will pay attention to someone powdering there nose.
I find places like Reno to be depressing and places like vegas on the main strip to not be as bad, still I wouldn't dose there, besides, I hate cities.
No idea about A.C., never been over there

I used to be a full time poker player for a year or so to pay for college.
I was at the casino from 10 to 2 everyday playing poker. Never spent a quarter anywhere else though.
If you gonna go, put a twenty in the slots, lose it in 30 seconds and hate it forever!

You can wear sunglasses into a casino, but not when gambling. Most AC casinos have an open door/vegas style entrance. so you should be able to just walk in. if they give you shit, just go somewhere else.
Also, the best thing to remember, is when you are parking your car PARK ON THE TOP FLOOR OF THE PARKING GARAGE
I swear, you get the best views in almost any gamblin' city (reno vegas AC) on top of the parking garage. also a good place to smoke bowls.

That's all I'll play at the casino.
At least at the card table, it's me vs. these other guys. (Although the casino does get a small rake.) With the slots, it's me vs. computer with horrible odds.

oops. WELL. i'd imagine in ac too?? how can you have a casino where you can't smoke indoors??
most card rooms are no smoking, and there's sometimes a no smoking section of the slots. i'd imagine you can still smoke 99% of places.

I basically live at the Tampa Hard Rock casino. I am frequently there playing poker about 20 hours a week if not more.
I will first state that every casino is different and has different rules. Our casino does not enforce any kind of dress code except weekends when the club is going. Even then its more of a casual than "trashy" dresscode.
2nd...people get trashed there all the time. There is a big difference in being trashed and belligerent. Just dont act a fool and you wont get kicked out.
And yea you can go to the bathroom as much as youd like its not going ot matter. And stuffed animals? I see people with 4 kids at their side there on a daily basis. Might as well be stuffed animals haha.
Oh and the drinks...our casino only offers free colas and coffees to gamblers, but it seems like 99% of all others offer free liquors and beers to gamblers on the floor.
Just have fun and dont get sketched by the 100000 cameras there will be...they arent watching you personally.

Tampa Hard Rock definitely doesnt let you wear sunglasses outside of the poker room.
And I wouldn't recommend smoking on the top floor of the parking garage I got arrested for it. True story, I promise.

They wont throw you out. I personally think tripping in casinos is a blast.
There are many people in casinos who look very grungey and dressed down.
you only get the free drinks if you are gambling though.
I recommended playing penny slots. You can play a penny slot for an hour on the same five bucks and you get like 3 drinks in that time.
The only time Ive ever been kicked out was when I was homeless and my shirt was crusty. I also had a dirty ripped backpack. They dont like homeless people. Another time I was kicked out as a case of mistaken identity. It turned out this dude who looked like me had been taking change out of the fountains.
Ellis Island in Vegas also has decent craft beers. Ive been to a good portion of them in Vegas as well as Mohegan Sun in CT, Potowatami in Milwaukee, the riverboat in Peoria and the two we have here near Indianapolis.

Im gonna play the devil's advocate here and say Id do it. Ive tripped around straightedgers many times without them knowing.
Also loved tripping in a casino...all the lights and sounds were mesmerizing. It was a native casino so they had all these glass bulbs full of sage and the building was pumped with oxygen which made me trip even harder.
