I have not been to Vegas yet but we are planning on going next year. I have friends that go every year and they usually stay at the Excaliber. They really like it there. As for where to gamble from what I am told there are so many to choose from and I would imagine they are all pretty good. As for not losing money what I did when I went to Atlantic City is I had so much to spend a day and that was it. And if I won I would take half of the winnings and put it back into the gambling and then take home the other half.
