Pick casino games wisely

Once you have your accommodation set then you can plan how to spend your time (and money).

Spending time in the casinos is easy to do and many visitors do nothing else.

From the big name casinos to the smaller hotel casinos the policy tends to be free drinks at the tables and slot machines if you're playing.

Key to getting great service is tipping the waitress; it doesn't have to be a lot but a decent first tip will ensure your glass is never empty long.

Another handy tip is to know where your money will go furthest.

While games like craps and roulette offer the chance to win big the odds are stacked against you, your money will go further on the blackjack tables and the video poker machines which have only a small edge for the casino.

Seek out the machines with the best hand bonuses and remember the management likes to keep the winning machines near the door so that everybody knows when there's a payout.
