    Well you don't take the whole wad at once. If you're planning on spending several days, I'd assume you'd take more than $100. You take $200 with you, go gamble. Lose it? Go eat dinner, do something else. Then go get more money out of your room, and gamble more. Budget yourself, don't blow it all at once.



    And Sonner, I'm in. I missed the last sj outing in Vegas.

    Only problem is ... that might last 15 minutes. Or it might last 5 hours. Or you might quadruple it. Youneverknow.

    But those nights when it lasts 15 minutes sure do suck. That was my first gambling experience. The next three were, uhh, a bit more lucrative. :D

    I'm with you, though I don't have a problem with people going gambling. A lot of my friends love to go gamble, but I'd rather go experience cool outdoor things or cities with my money.

    Hell, I've lived in the west my entire life and have never been to Vegas, though I suppose I'll go once just to check it out.

    Don't worry Kevin, I've only been west of the Mississippi once.

    I'm planning on doing a little gambling. Mostly drinking after making some terrible picks at the sportsbook. Actually, I'm more likely to nail some big games early in the week, then think I'm invincible and lose it in craps.

    Well, yeah. But what I'm saying is if you have $700 to get you through a week, take $100 down the first night. If you lose it all in 15 minutes, go walk around. Go see the city. Go eat some buffet food. Don't run upstairs and get another $200. And for god's sake, don't bet with all $700 to start with, or that 15 minutes will ruin your whole trip instead of just a portion of it.
