Default What\'s to do in Vegas for the under 21 crowd?

Is it even worth going? It seems like all the attraction is for people that can gamble/drink.

I am 24, look 16, and the only time I am ever carded is cashing out at the Bellagio.

Pray that you haven't purchased any chips yet, because if you have, they're gone.

Perhaps some locals know the least likely place to get carded. And I also remember that I was carded once at the Mirage by an overzealous floorperson.

You think they'd just take your money? That seems pretty ridiculous.

You can't rent a room at a casino unless you're 21. I guess you could stay at Motel 6 near McCarren.


What's there to do in Vegas if you're under 21? Same as any other city if you're under 21.

Default Also...

How much would a trip cost excluding airfare? I havn't looked into prices on rooms yet but I hear the weekends are a lot more expensive than weekdays, is that right? How is the Luxor? I havn't heard it mentioned much on these boards but I've talked to some people who said it was nice and not too expensive.

depends on where your coming from?
if your under 21 and you want to play poker i think Arizona is still 18 but im not sure. AZ people is this correct?
AZ is fun also even if your under 21. Mills ave. is a fun place.

AZ is no longer 21. Two happy years of playing poker, then they take it all away from me! Oh well, able to play there in 9 days. : [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

If you are wanting to play a lot of poker in Vegas and you are underage, I wouldn't risk the trip.

That said, if you don't neccesarily look like you are under 21 and walk around like you own the place, the odds of you getting carded at some point decrease. Although, I guess it depends on what casino you are in and what you are trying to do. I play semi-frequently at a casino in Louisiana and while it's a little different from Vegas casino's in the sense that they have 'door' people that are checking everyone's ID's as they come in - they are hawks nonetheless. I'm 34 and get hawked everytime I come through the joint. I have to admit though, I've never been carded in Vegas - not once...

I can't imagine Vegas being a fun place for someone who's on the verge of being of age. There's too much temptation there and all I see is someone trying to sneak around and ultimately getting themselves into some trouble. Now, your not going to get whisked away to jail or anything but the simple fact that you are sneaking around everywhere and risking your money at the cages when you cant produce an ID doesn't really sound like that much fun to me.

I think this is the most important thing. Like I said in my other post in this thread, I'm 24 but look 16, but never got carded once in Vegas for anything. However, I must admit, I do tend to walk around unknowingly with a dont f*ck with me face. I think that may have had a lot to do with it also and trying to fake that may be more difficult than it seems I dont know.
