You're planning a holiday to the gambling destination of the world, so you need to play your cards well. Excuse the shoddy pun if you may, but if you're here with the sole and serious intention of gambling, do ensure that you aren't taken for a ride.

If you are flying into Las Vegas, turn a blind eye towards the slots at the airport, as they carry a reputation for having the worst odds. Also, you may want to give the slot machines a complete miss altogether. It is recommended that you try blackjack or roulette, that carry better odds.

Get Wasted Wisely
