Take your sorry ass game home Ulysses. You couldn't pick a girl up w/ a forklift. But.....I think you're right on this one. The major clubs are sausage fests unless you time things right. Everyone always says Vegas is the easiest place in the world to hook-up, but they are way wrong.

I think working the game scene is not a bad idea. I don't know about this Drai's though, never heard of it. Ideally, you get a bunch of girls to go with you to the club. Then, even a guy-like Vehn could pull something down.

Rumor has it that if you go to a club like Rain or Rum Jungle and get a table (where you must buy a bottle 200+), the bouncers do all the work for you and bring girls to your table. I'm gonna give that a shot next time I'm in town which will be WSOP.

if you're gonna do the everyone pitches in on one bet thing i suggest a hand of blackjack, better odds.

Actually, I think single zero roulette is a better bet than blackjack when doing this sort of thing. Since we aren't doubling or splitting, the HA goes up. The win/loss/tie percentages for a single hand of blackjack are 43.31/47.89/8.80, so the HA is about 3.55% (43.31*20/21 + 43.31*1.5*1/21 - 47.89). For single zero roulette, the HA is 1/37, or 2.70%.

I can't believe I'm back weighing in on this topic, but here I am...

Never get a table. Why pay $200 for a bottle of Grey Goose? If you're a decent looking guy in Vegas, it is a CINCH to hook up. Go up to a girl. Ask her to dance. Don't say, "Your daddy musta been a thief cuz he stole the stars and put them in your eyez!" Just ask to dance. Start dancing. Talk. If you click, you end up hooking up. If not, find someone else.

Drai's is the best after-hours spot in Vegas. If you still haven't had any luck, girls and guys will both go there looking for another chance.

Rain by far has the best looking women. Ra's crowd is late twenties, early thirties with some pervy people there. Buying a table in order to hook up is the same as going to the Baccarat bar at the Bellagio and just paying for it from there. Leave the tables to the wannabes.

Ghostbar is cool. But make sure you are either with a few hot chicks or have a host get you on the list. Otherwise, the wait is not even close to worth it. I was on the wannabe list (Palms casino host list, which comes after "members", high-rollers, and celebs) and had to wait about 30 minutes on a Saturday night around midnight. The people who just got in line had to wait about 2 hours. The hot chicks who showed up without guys got put in the same line as us. That's definitely the best skill to have, being a hot chick.

Ha, I know getting a table is sort've selling out and shoould be left to the choads and melvins with absolutely no legitimate chance whatsoever. I still think that Vegas isn't that much better for hooking up than Chicago, LA, or NYC, if you know where to go in those cities either.

I want to get a list of people going to Vegas for the WSOP. I think I'm gonna rent a condo for the 2 weeks to a month. If anyone needs a place to stay drop me a PM.

Btw, nothing would be more entertaining than seeing a fellow 2+2er get rejected.

Ouch. Out of nowhere. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

For the record, some chicks really dig the goiter.

Ha, I just wanted to bring you in the the thread. Nothing works better than an unsolicited ribbing. I was gonna use eugeenel but my dad always said, "it's not funny, if its too close to the truth."

But who needs game, when you've got an 18k ride.

hey JV actually getting a tablecan be well worth the entertainment. I was at LIGHT in feb. was sitting at a table next to Ben Affleck and there was like 50 girls trying to get over to him of course The left overs sat at our table while waiting there turn but very very nice prospects (i was with a chick but my friend grab one of them.) That site www.lasvegas.com has a great VIP package where no waiting at all to get in.
