I have questions for all you VEGAS vetrans....please help.

haddon · May 02,2006, 12:15 PM

I am thinking of going to Vegas because the itch is unbearable. (She was such a slut and I should have seen it coming.)

Anyway, do casinos swipe IDs or would a fake ID work in most places?
Any hints on cheap cheap hotel rooms, because I want to stay for like a month at least?

Please help, I NEED TO GO.

I never saw anyone check an ID. But then again I don't look 15.

Hotel rooms vary. The cheaper you get the more hookers you get.

A month? Find a place to rent.

Right this way Mr. Papagorgio ....

When we were there in 2004 we had been ID'd multiple times (probably about 5 times in 4 days). Always at blackjack tables and usually when it was slow (i.e. the pit boss just needed something to do). Also if a really young person did come to the table, sometimes they took that opportunity to check everyone's ID.

You won't be able to sign up for any players cards or anything either since they usually check IDs too. Also (now most people won't have this problem) if you do hit a jackpot or something you will need to have ID.

Good luck if you go ... how long do you have to wait to be "legal"?

I'm not 21 until Feb.

So they just check IDs then? No swiping to verify the strip info?

If you get a place for a month, I'm crashing. You can use my ID. If you can act even half my age, you'll be ok.

haddon · May 02,2006, 01:07 PM

I am actually considering living there...but not until I make sure I can get into casinos. So the month is a trial thing.

Acting half your age Greg? So like shit myself, watch sesame street and eat mushed peas?

WaterLooser · May 02,2006, 01:17 PM

No, I don't think they ever swiped them. However that was almost exactly 2 years ago, so don't know if that technology is more available or not.

What's the big hurry? There are casinos around here that allow you to scratch the itch. I know that it isn't close to like Vegas, but a casino is a casino.

I guess you have to calculate the EV. Is it worth getting in big trouble if you are caught? Maybe the first time they just take your money on the table and escort you out. Maybe the second time too. Or maybe Joe Pesci will drag you out into the desert and stab you repeatedly with a pen. You sure don't want to end up being banned or anything. The casinos share a lot of security information.

Do you plan on working down there? Professional Gambler?

haddon · May 02,2006, 01:25 PM

I have a cash job lined up doing dishes if I need it, but I would like to just take a break, play some cards, see some sights...

Joe Pesci isn't shit, I will take him into a cornfield and bury him alive...

I just really want to go, and if I have an awesome fake id, why not? I am young, free and have nothing better to do.

I am pretty sure that Vegas cannot swipe an Ontario ID. The Canadian Privacy Laws would forbid them from storing any information. I could go more in detail but well I just don't want to.

If you are really planning on spending a month, find a place to live. Getting a hotel would be just silly.

When I was there 6 weeks ago I got ID'd at every casino I played at. No swipey though.

A month is ridiculous. If you're worried about finding cheap hotel rooms etc, you've got bigger cost worries. Little secret, it isn't the hotel/flight costs that kill you in Vegas...and it isn't the gambling either, unless you love playing high stakes -EV HA games. It's the other stuff that kills you (booze, food, strippers, etc.). Don't get me wrong, Vegas is a blast...but a month would kill me I'm sure (hell a week would kill me). Top that off with that fact you might get shut down at each and every casino you walk into...well the trip seems -EV IMO. 9 months isn't that long, and there's plenty of B&M donks to take money off of in the area...

haddon · May 03,2006, 12:18 AM

haha, ok...

I'm pretty sure I'll be fine.

I worked with a guy who went to Vegas with his family. He was 18 at the time.

He and his older brother (20) got bored one night and headed down to one of the casinos, with there fake IDs. Of course, they got caught and were detained for 4 Hours by Security. They had their pictures taken, (and added to a data base), their fingerprints put on file and their fake IDs confiscated.

Maybe you should stick to BCC and Niagara, Josh.
