The hardest casino game – excluding poker because it’s not considered a casino game – would have to be craps. There are no real difficult games to play; even craps is simple once you understand what going on, and which bets to make. Many find that the explanation for craps is too long, and most recreational gamblers don’t want to have too much to think about when they’re on the casino floor.

The craps table can be intimidating because of the loud players hitting their rolls. The game concept is simple enough; each player takes turns rolling dice and possible outcomes are bet on. The roller must roll a point to continue to throw the dice, and will continue until he doesn’t. Everyone has different types of bets they can make on what the thrower will roll.

It can be the most exciting game in the casino, and it’s well worth the effort to learn.

The best bars in Vegas can change from time to time. Casinos pride themselves on having a top-rated bar under the same roof, and the city has most of the hottest nightclubs in the entire country. The Palms has Rain in the Desert. It has private cabanas that get hired out by high rollers and Hollywood celebrities alike.

Rum Jungle is still one of hottest stops in town. Located in the Mandalay Bay, it’s mainly a Latino/Caribbean vibe, with funky décor that includes fire walls and waterfall walls to volcanic mountains of rum and go-go dancers who perform above the huge bar area.

The MGM Grand has the hot remake of New York’s Studio 54. It’s a huge club on four levels, each with a separate dance floor and bar. The wait is usually manageable, but there is a cover charge every night. Drink prices are a bit better too.

With the success of the Aussie Millions poker tournament, New Zealand is looking to amp up their annual poker tournament. Last year’s event only had 50 entrants playing for a $30,000 prize pool. This year the tournament had 150 entrants playing for $340,000, with 90% of the entrants coming from New Zealand.

SkyCity Entertainment Group is the country’s largest casino operator and they’ve decided to cash in on the new poker craze Down Under. They intend to host a million-dollar guaranteed tournament at the Auckland casino. Poker has become the most popular game in the casino since Joe Hachem won the WSOP main event three years ago.

Ejaaz Dean, SkyCity’s new table game boss who has more than 20 years experience in the casino business says, “I think SkyCity has the fundamentals in place to host such a tournament. But we will have to offer at least a million.”

It can get so hot in Vegas that you have to be careful where you walk. If you attempt to walk a distance that’s too far, you could get into physical trouble in the sweltering heat. Even walkways have air conditioning or mist sprays to cool down patrons of the casinos. I’ve been there in July, and the temperatures average around 110 degrees. It doesn’t get much hotter than that in North America.

The only thing hotter than the weather in Vegas is the women. Most beauties in search of fame and fortune either head to Hollywood or Vegas to make their mark. With all the money in the city, it also attracts women that are just interested in cash, if you know what I mean. Not to mention that the town is a playground teeming with actresses, debutantes, show girls and gold-diggers out for a weekend of debauchery and sin.
