Your favorite place to play in Laughlin

I'm looking to take my first trip to Laughlin after having been to Vegas a couple of times and was wondering where a fun place to play is.

Fun, as in getting drunk or fun, as in winning a lot of money?

For the former, at night they open $2 tables in the bar at the Edgewater (at least they did last year). These tables tend to be crowded.

For the latter, the single deck games at the Edgewater and Gold Nugget are the best. They also have semi decent single deck at the Colorado Belle, Pioneer, and Riverside.

Well I'd love to win money but I also like to people watch. It doesn't go well with counting though unfortunately. I missed one drunk lady being wheel chaired from the Pioneer club down to the Riverside. OK I was sleeping in the car but I still missed it. People sure do act funny around passed out people.

I guess I'm looking for a combonation of deacent rules, good mix of people and nice dealers. All that changes with the phase of the moon but maybe someone here knows something that I don't. I'll definately check out the places you mentioned since they are pretty much next to each other. I think the Flamingo is in there someplace but I can never remember since that ones fairly new.

Are there any good and cheap midnight steak deals?

have at it.run- dont walk to laughlin.

I spent three days in Laughlin last year and it was a shocker. I stayed at Golden Nugget but visited most of the other places at least once. I don't think I saw anybody under 60 that wasn't working there the whole time. I'm middle-aged and it was kind of refreshing having all the other patrons calling me kid, etc.!
Blackjack games in general can better be found in Las Vegas and Reno. Las Vegas has the best shoes if your selective and Reno/Sparks has best single deck.

I have ever had deal to me was in Laughlin in march 02 I was told she was eighty something and also dealt roulette perfectly which is, I believe the hardest game for calculating pay-offs.Rumours abound that she spotted Pat some 4 tables away! Regards Karl.

its been since i was there.

Well old people are pretty interesting, nice to talk to and ask them about things about carrying around a tank of Oxygen to live and colostemy bags. Maybe they will think about things a little more and I'll get a better chance to keep track of the count (I just started counting 5 months ago), not quite a pro yet.

My parents used to take me there and I remember there being alot of old people at Sam's Club (Gold River) but aside from there I don't remember there being more old people than another place. Particularly at the Harris del Rio durring spring break, there was this one guy peeing out of his hotel room out into the parking lot from the 12th floor.

Anyway the last time we all went to Vegas my mom lost her wallet with some $1200 in it, needless to say she isn't going to be going to Vegas for a while yet.

I've played with several dealers/floor persons in Reno with 40-50+ years experience.
