    If you sit in the front end, the horse portion where the individual little TVs are of Paris' sportsbook, everything you want to drink is free....that is normally where I plant myself down with my friends for a little while.

    It was also the scene of where I was almost divorced about 22 hours after I was married, when there must have been some miscommunication in June between myself and my new bride. I was drinking shots of Imperial whiskey and chasing with Heineken Light watching the US Open when I was informed we had tickets to some Cirque water show and "I hope you are not drunk."

    Well.....

    Anyhow, long story short, the front end of Paris' book -- all you want to drink.

    Go sit at a slot machine, wait for the waitress, they give you the drink, then go to the sports book.

    I've never paid for a drink at the Rio.
    But I never go to the sports book. I know too much about sports to bet on them.

    At the Hilton, place one $5 bet and all drinks are free. Did that in June watching Game 3 of the Stanley Cup.

    Thanks for all your help!

    As I expected, different strokes for different folks at different casinos. Most of what I hear is that they take care of those betting the horses, while sports is more of a toss-up. I'm thinking a real nice tip to the waitress at the beginning as well as a few dollars per round should help the cause. The idea is to NOT have to leave the book to sit at a slot or video poker machine, but we will if we absolutely have to.

    That all said, anyone ever been to Vegas for the Super Bowl? What can we expect?

    Bellagio still has them at the book, TI too.

    Nothing can prepare you for the unbridled
    carnage you are about to witness.

    The Super Bowl, the World Series.

    Pressure? Here it's kill or be killed.
    Make no friends and take no prisoners.

    One minute you're up half a million,
    the next, boom.

    Your kids don't go to college
    and you've lost your Bentley.

    We've got to kill the motherfucker...

    I used that advice and it didn't work.

    But I only stuck to a few casinos. Flamingo and Ceasar's were hurting.
    Planet Hollywood was friendlier. Got so many free drinks through their coupon books it was amazing.

    At the Rio, they did not give me a voucher until I bet over $100 on a game.

    Vegas? Super Bowl? If you want to sit in the book and watch the game, you
    better get down to the book of your choice EARLY. And I mean EARLY.

    Remember at my last trip to the Hilton, if you held a sports ticket, they'd
    give you a drink . . but their going-around-the-room frequency isn't nearly
    as speedy as it was, years ago.

    I was in Caesar's in October and had all the drinks I wanted betting $10 or $20 per horse race. Can't vouch for any other policy except what I experienced that one day.
