SSHGUNS Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 4 minutes ago, RussTCB said: That's what I do. I usually start by going to one of the bars and putting some money in a video poker / video blackjack machine since the bartender is right there and you'll get quick service. If I end up winning some, I'll just stay there and rake in the free drinks. When I move on, I usually look for an area of the gaming floor where a waitress is making rounds very often and set up shop there. If you're nice to the waitress and tip ok, you'll see her a lot. I can usually get them to start bringing me 2 drinks at a time after a few tips which works out great. Of course the downside to this is that you start betting like an idiot with the more you drink lol. That's one of the ideas behind feeding you drinks I suppose, but it's easy to get around if you just take some breaks or if you're playing next to someone else. You can check out what's going on with their machine or whatever and it kind of stops you from just max betting everything because you're drunk lol I've never played in a poker room but I'd be surprised if they don't have servers for those rooms. As far as I know, drinks are free everywhere in Vegas as long as you're gaming. I will definitely try that while over there. Yeah as is it not the barmaids job to keep you at the tables and in the hotel. I was just walking around the strip with a can of lager in my hand.

Pretty much everywhere but bars on the strip has dirt cheap alcohol. So if I'm not gambling, I just grab a 6pk or some liquor from somewhere cheap and roll around wherever I want with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then whenever I head out I always have a raodie and either 2-3 in my pockets or my backpack depending on what I'm doing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have a cup the venue will provide you one to pour drink into and then toss your bottle or can. *I'm not guaranteeing that T-Mobile Arena will do so (maybe go to the doors before show and do some recon) but that's always been the case at MGM Garden Arena. I've seen many concerts there and they have always allowed for bring your own booze. FYI Edited February 9, 2016 by Estranged1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I had that feeling was like 10-12 years ago in Vegas. I was walking on the sidewalk drinking a beer, saw a cop and was like "OH SHIT". Then he approached me and I was panicked until he said "Taddy Porter is good. You ever try anything else from Samuel Smith?" Then I thought.... "Fuck yeah, this is Vegas!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told that you're not allowed to have open containers in vehicles, but we've never had a problem as long as they driver doesn't have alochol. We get in and out of cabs constantly with liquor/beer and never once had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
