Poll Preview: Reader Poll: What Happens in Vegas

Poll Preview: What Happens in Vegas Stays ... on Your Conscience

We haven't done a poll for a long time, too long, and this one is a suggestion from long-time LVAer Toni A.

Toni writes, "It would be fun to do the Vegas Vices poll again. What legal vices are you likely to indulge in while visiting Vegas — activities you most likely wouldn’t do at home?"

As you recall, we first run a poll preview, in which we gather your suggestions for choices and whatever other feedback you care to provide. The poll itself will run a week from today.

The first batch consists of Toni's suggestions; the second adds in our ideas. Feel free to grow the list in the comment boxes.

LONG HISTORY

I have too many stories to tell. Let's just say there have been many times at a blackjack table in which the waitress, without asking, would just drop off drinks every time she came by, for me and my friends. 7 hours, 8 hours. How I survived some of these nights, not sure but always had a blast.

Room Upgrade

Las Vegas is one of the only place where I"ll pay extra for a better hotel room.  I pay extra for a Strip view or a view of something like the fountains of Bellagio (if I get a hotel close to the Bellagio).  I usually don't care about my hotel room view except in Las Vegas or if I'm at a hotel on a beach.
Also, Vegas is the only city I have ever been drinking for 12 hours straight.  Started drinking at around 9pm and kept drinking until 9am when I went to sleep.  Every other city has a last call but not Las Vegas.

Early gambling

BFF and I each buy $50 worth of scratch-offs to 'do' on the plane from home from to Vegas.  Occupies maybe 30 minutes of the 3.5 hour flight.  We split the winnings, if any.  Like casino gambling, seldom do we top the combined $100 spent on the scratch-offs, but just something to make it fun from the start.

One At A Time

I'd add "Gamble Without Drinking" and "Drink Without Gambling".  It's how I limit my losses and eliminate hangovers.

Another one I've done once--"Rent a car and go to the 'outlying' casinos for a few days".

Food Wars

My husband and his buddy had food wars at the buffet.  Whatever one ate the other had to also.  They ate a lot!  It was hilarious afterward watching his buddy laying on his back arms outstretched on the bed screaming he thought he needed an ambulance.
*****
Also, once we had a buddy who drank so much he passed out a slot machine.  That was the night that Casino Royale cut his off.  LOL

too drunk to walk to the room

Probably too late for the Poll (been out of town), but I forgot this one:  

Playing blackjack, the "White Russian, no ice" were so delicious, and large, probably had at least five. I didn't notice how much they affected me.  Time to leave, I got up from my chair and 'uh oh'.  The dealer (or pit person ?) immediately called for Security to bring a wheelchair and wheel me to my hotel room.  Nicest Security lady, no judgement, wheeled me inside the room.  She asked "do you want to just lie down?"  I had to tell her 'the toilet."  She helped me do all that (use your imagination, but as they say "both ends".  After all that she then got me to my bed.  I gave her a black chip tip.  Should have been five.  So, I would add (to be more brief) "So drunk was taken by Security, in a wheelchair, to my hotel room."
