Las Vegas–the name evokes images of divorce and dice, prostitutes and payoffs, gangsters and glitz. But beneath it all is a sordid history that is much more insidious and far-reaching than ever imagined. Now, at the dawn of the new century, this neon maelstrom of ruthlessness and greed stands to not as an aberrant “sin city,” but as a natural outgrowth of the corruption and worship of money that have come to permeate American life.

Question by Veneta L: Spend to much money at the poker machines in Vegas?
I live in Las Vegas, gambling is everywhere!! I only play once a week but never seem to be able to walk away if I still have money in my pocket. Have tried everything, but I get so bored, and just when I say no more then I will hit a jackpot and win, and then I am off and running again, always wanting more. I don’t want to hurt myself or my family, but when you are playing and having fun it is so very hard to quit. I do not go into casinos anymore, but my local bar, they know me by name, talk with me and give me “free” food, haha. How do I make myself just not go in. And saying just don’t do it, doesn’t help, it is not that easy.

Vegas like you’ve never seen, tales you’ve never heard — until now. Sizzing, behind-the-scenes stories about the men, the Mob, movie stars, and missing money that made ’50s and ’60s Vegas such a hot spot in the Nevada desert. “On opening night at the Cal-Neva Lodge, Sinatra’s guests included Marilyn Monroe, Joe Kennedy and his son, John F. Kennedy. Also there that weekend were Johnny Roselli and Sam “Momo” Giancana. Uninvited and hiding up in the hills around the casino lodge was an FBI sur

If you have to ask this question then I don’t think that playing poker professionally is for you just yet.

But 20 buy-ins should be fine.

Answer by Vegas Matt
Well, it depends what limits you want to play. The lowest limit NL Texas Holdem game you’re going to find is $ 1/2 with a $ 200 max buy in. I wouldn’t sit at that table without at least $ 400 ($ 600 or even $ 800 would be better). If you are going to play limit, you need at least 50 BBs per session, which would be $ 300 at a $ 3/6 table.

But that’s just a daily budget. How well you do will certainly play into the total amount you need to bring. I’d say to bring at least $ 1000, and $ 2000 would be better if you hit a bad run. But really, bring what you can afford to lose, and if you get down too much just find something else to do.

Another strategy could be to play just tournaments, then budget yourself out according to how much you want to spend. For example, you could say you were going to try to play one $ 100 (or two $ 50) tournament per day, and that’s it. If you did that, about $ 600 is fine.
