Spring Break in Vegas: Las Vegas Gambling

By Jane Beathard.

If this is what you came to Vegas for, you probably don't need pointers. Remember, slot machines are programmed in favor of the house. You are always better off with skill games like poker or blackjack.

If you don't know a thing about gambling, don't worry. Casino floors are quiet in the morning and most offer free lessons to "newbie students" during that time. Look for the signs or simply approach an inactive dealer and ask if she or he will show you the ropes.
