Default playing the tourist in vegas?

i'll be in vegas this weekened. i plan on playing poker a few times... mostly for fun, since i won't really have the time to get into it to much. discussing with friends and acquantences, i thought it'd be fun to pretend like i'm a complete tourist. ask dumb questions. ask if i'm allowed to raise. string bet. be the obnoxious punk kid, the rocks in my game generally get annoyed with.

i just think it'd be fun to try, but i've been thinking whether there is any benefit in doing this. i play a pretty tight aggressive game, but i'd probably have to change it up a bit.

either they'll see me as a complete fish and give me all the action i can ask for cause they don't think i'll know anything.

or, i'll be able to bluff a lot or buy free cards for nothing. example, if i'm in late position. and someone bets into me, i can call and the try to string raise. they won't let me, but a player will look at that as a show of strenght and check on the next hand.

i'm not trying to hustle, i've always been into personal socialogical expirements and observations on human nature. and would like to see how this effects people.

is this unethical to pull moves like this? is it worth doing? anyone see any benefits to this?

just curious. thanks.
