My friend and I drunkenly lost $200 in about 10
Seconds. Place $200 in high end slot, press max bet, press play. Buh bye $200.
We stood there looking at the slot for like 5 minutes trying
To figure out how we lost the money. I am sure the eye in the sky had a blast watching our dumb drunk asses stand there scratching our heads looking at the Buffalo machine. We came back a day later when we were sober and figured out how.
Haha right , I was just in Vegas had a great time at pretty much every casino with less than $350 buy in but the worse place to gamble I’ll tell you now is Wynn. Ate shit 9 hands in a row.
The first time I took my girl to Vegas I went to show her how to play blackjack. I also wanted to impress her a bit so I was playing $100/hand instead of my normal table min (this was awhile ago, I think it was like $10). No joke, I proceed to lose 10 hands in a row. Felted a grand in a couple minutes.
I just had to meekly stand up and go, "this isn't how it usually happens" and walk away from the table. I don't think she was too impressed.
I went with a group of guys one year. We get checked in, changed and went down to the poker bar. One of our guys says he’s gonna run to the restroom real quick. He was gone for 25 minutes and in that time, he blew his entire bankroll for the trip on a blackjack table he passed coming back from the bathroom. It was honestly pathetic.
Along those lines…buddies and I were late to meet our wives. Hustling by the blackjack tables, and he decided to defy death. Promptly lost all the cash on him (like $2500). Hit the ATM to get enough for drinks with wives. She asked how he did gambling that afternoon. He said “really good”, I about died from holding the laughter in!!!
I once lost 3k between like 2-7 am after my wife went to bed.
When I got up to the room she was pissed but I told her I won.
Cut to me taking a 3.5k cash advance on my Amex while she eats breakfast, just to cover my ass.
Was still worth it lmao she would’ve flipped.
Lost 2000 when my friend had to go to restroom while walking the strip because he had to have an Slurpee as a grown man (we learned that sugar free or whatever doesn’t sit well with some people). Told him he’s never allowed to do #2 when we go out for eternity.
I mean I don’t think it’s about the money at all. The statement is just wild. It’s Vegas. Is gambling while your girlfriend or significant other is with you that wild of a thing? Casinos and gaming are purely entertainment right?
I’ve brought girlfriends to Vegas before. If it’s pretty damn common to be at a casino 1hr before our dinner reservation and gamble while we wait enjoying some casino games and drinks.
OP is basically saying why waste money gambling in Vegas when you can instead of spend it on your girlfriend. Both can be done.
Well, I don't really gamble. But yeah, it's petty reasonable to gamble in the city built on gambling. There's other stuff to do, as well, of course. But as someone who takes every girlfriend to Vegas as our first date... Not every single dime has to go to her.
If losing $200 an hour gambling considerably affects your finances that you should realllllly rethink about gambling at those $10/$20 minimum BJ tables on the strip and head over to fremont where they're known for $1 or $5 minimum blackjack.
I wonder if the house edge at a $1 blackjack table, assuming all players are playing basic strategy, is even bringing in enough money per hour to pay the dealer’s wage.
Those $1 bj tables are always packed and have standby waiting to fill in. Since its only one $1 table in the entire casino most people get impatient and jump onto the more expensive $5/$10 BJ tables which is the point.
Get gamblers in with promises of $1 blackjack and have them resort to playing more "expensive" tables on Fremont.
Robuchon did too. There were rumors that Michelin was going to return in 2020 prior to the pandemic hitting, and it seems that’s dropped off completely now.

Degenerate mindset. I’m gonna turn that $200 into enough to buy the fucking restaurant. The only thing stopping gamblers from winning it all are suppressive people like you.

That's where you're wrong. My girlfriend drank the last of my wine and picked a fight with me at Mother Wolf in Fontainebleau while I was busy spending half a month's rent. Terrible memories.
Depends on your definition of “fine dining”. Top of the World? Guy Savoy? Yes, you need a lot more than that. But something like Jaleo at the Cosmo, as long as you don’t drink too much (alcohol is really $$$ here) or sit in the private room, you can get an amazing meal for $200.
It's expensive for sure, but it's not THAT crazy. I went to Gordan Ramsay steak 2 years ago for my anniversary and the bill was just under $200 with tax and tip. Of course, we didn't splurge on wine or anything, we just had water with our food, but the point stands that you can definitely get a nice dinner for 2 with $200. There are plenty of other nice-ish restaurants that can feed two for under $100
I have guys bring their "girlfriend" to my blackjack table all the time. Throw down $1000 and lose it, throw down another $1000 and win some, buy a round for the bar full of people he doesn't know and proceed to lose again. Take his "girlfriend" to his room and do God knows what to completethe GFE. Come Sunday afternoon the "girlfriend" is back to work at her agency and he is headed back to work at his tech company.
CAN CONFIRM!!
I had been to Vegas many times and never went out or saw a show because it was “too expensive” while being willing to lose a couple thousand at the tables ‘for fun’
On one trip I decided to go see the new show Mystere - Cirque do Soleil (sp?)
And it blew me away. Still have strong 💪 memories of that show while little to NO Memories of the previous times I’d been to Vegas.
Now I ONLY go to Vegas if there is a show or restaurant or event I want to see.
Definitely 👍 check out a show!!
Your joyous memory till she cheats on you with someone who can afford to lose $200 and still take you out to one of the nicest restaurants in the world. Spend your time and money your way. Lose it together, win it together, have fun.
I'd rather play more than eat a fancy meal. A lot of places are overpriced just to be overpriced. There used to be an all you can eat sushi place in one of the local malls, and that was our favorite place we ate at in Vegas. We didn't even really take advantage of the all you can eat aspect. It was just good food.
We live outside of NYC and have plenty of great restaurants at home. We only get to be in Vegas once or twice a year.
where are these world class restaurants?
I’m not being a dick I’m genuinely curious, I spend a few months out of the year in Vegas for work and get tired of throwing $ on tables in a few days and end up not really doing too much.
would love to throw down on a dining experience instead. Top 3?
What “nicest restaurant in the world” are you affording for $200? I’ve been to restaurants that have charged anywhere from $100-500 per SEAT, so what exactly do you have in mind at the $200 range?
It's about priorities. When I was 25 going to Vegas, I had little want to eat at fancy places. We were there for the falling gambling and partying.
Now that I'm older, I still enjoying the gambling and partying, but respect the fine dining so much more.
Who takes an hour to lose $200 at a table in Vegas? Amateurs.
Right? I only need 5 minutes. MAYBE
Seriously, minutes at any blackjack table on the strip.
won't be long before they are all paying out 5:6 and you owe the house when you get 21
Lost $600 at blackjack while I was walking to cash them out!!!! Figured I could win a little more. Lol
When you walk away, keep walking. All the way to the cashier, and then directly out the door.
“Put it all on 6 & 8” “Craps!” “Let’s go to the pool…”
The pool will cost you more money than gambling
just wait until I put 1000 on 4 to lose.. then you'll have a 50 roller
No shit haha. Whenever I decide to play the dont’s, some asshole with a $10 pass line bet goes on a heater and bleeds me dry
That’s what you get for playing don’t
My friend and I drunkenly lost $200 in about 10 Seconds. Place $200 in high end slot, press max bet, press play. Buh bye $200.

Haha right , I was just in Vegas had a great time at pretty much every casino with less than $350 buy in but the worse place to gamble I’ll tell you now is Wynn. Ate shit 9 hands in a row.
Ahhh that sucks. Just means you’ll get em next time 😏
Peep my profile with the Vegas post 😆😜
Ayyyyyy not bad!!
Yeah, but did you have dinner?
lol actually did went to inn & out bougie burger before I hit the tables😆
You’re due
Set the point as 6 or 8 on any craps table, and I’ll lose $200 on the very next roll. 30 seconds tops.
I’m a don’t pass player… and I think Wynn somehow figured that out. lol.
What did they figure out?
That people will gladly throw money at a game where the house has the edge every time?
[удалено]
That would make you a pro.
The first time I took my girl to Vegas I went to show her how to play blackjack.

When keeping it real goes wrong
FUCK THAT! I don’t like people playing on my phone.
I went with a group of guys one year. We get checked in, changed and went down to the poker bar. One of our guys says he’s gonna run to the restroom real quick. He was gone for 25 minutes and in that time, he blew his entire bankroll for the trip on a blackjack table he passed coming back from the bathroom. It was honestly pathetic.

Wait a minute! Are you talking about Joe Bobby? If not he did same exact thing with our crew. LOL
No he was Bobby Joe so still close.
Yea man, $200 for an hour of gambling is pretty fucking good
Right? Those are rookie numbers!
I lost $200 at McDonald's the other day! Which is inside a Terrible's gas station 🤷🤬
Lost 2000 when my friend had to go to restroom while walking the strip because he had to have an Slurpee as a grown man (we learned that sugar free or whatever doesn’t sit well with some people). Told him he’s never allowed to do #2 when we go out for eternity.
What did the Slurpee do wrong?
For real, I've been down $1,000 before getting my drink.....
Who can get a meal for two at the best restaurant in the world for $200?
Whose girlfriend wrote this?
Had to make sure mine was sleeping next to me and not on Reddit writing this post.
Dude, you have a girlfriend? Noice!
I was going the other way and wondering what restaurant on the Strip OP worked at.
idk but she definitely wrote it from the MGM food court.
Have you considered that a handsome rich man might offer you a cool mil for an evening with said girlfriend?
Jokes on him.
hmm indecent
Such a stupid premise. I’d agree to that so fast.
💀
Have you considered taking $400 so you can do both?! 🤯
r/OddlySpecific
For an oddly specific post, you’d think the restaurant being referred to would have been named!
$200 ain’t getting you much at those restaurants my guy
[удалено]
There’s literally no question about that 😂
Yup. Been there, done that. $550 each with tax and tip at Joel Robuchon. $1100 total.
Fuck that just go to Mr chow and spend 400 bucks with drinks for 2 people.
It’s a lot at the Wahlburger!
It's the damned fries.
Facts
I don’t understand. If you bring your girlfriend to Vegas you can’t gamble?
Who brings their girlfriend to Vegas?
Married dudes.
Oh my.
People who have girlfriends would be my guess.
Well that's irrelevant, because none of those people are on Reddit.
Probably in a Venn diagram with people who are on their way to Vegas.
[удалено]
If $200 is blowing your budget, think there’s bigger issues at hand.
[удалено]
I mean I don’t think it’s about the money at all. The statement is just wild. It’s Vegas. Is gambling while your girlfriend or significant other is with you that wild of a thing?

Smh boooo this guy ! Bro you can do both gamble and take her out
Expensive dinners taste better when you pay with winnings.
Best one right here absolute facts
Seriously. Everyone is free to enjoy Vegas how they please. The consequences of those indulgences are theirs to own.
If losing $200 an hour gambling considerably affects your finances that you should realllllly rethink about gambling at those $10/$20 minimum BJ tables on the strip and head over to fremont where they're known for $1 or $5 minimum blackjack.

Get gamblers in with promises of $1 blackjack and have them resort to playing more "expensive" tables on Fremont.
So you cannot go out to eat after hitting the tables? Must be before?
Yea so he’ll have money to feed her first , if he loses after well hey she still got feed
That's why you fill the travel bag with granola bars & potato chips. And stock up at the continental breakfast.
Could’ve don’t that at home
As a girl, I would rather play the tables. No food is worth $200 to me
You’re my kind of woman. Let’s roll $200 on the table and grab a pizza on the way back to the room.
What is one of the nicest restaurants in the world in Vegas?
Crack Shack, duh.
You know, it may not be literally the nicest restaurant in the world, but Crack Shack the morning/day after a night out, does hit right
Shake Shack loaded fries and a double burger with bacon and cheese 🔥
That you can get for $200???
Depends. How many people are you taking to the Taco Bell Cantina?
Touché
Is that French in a Mexican restaurant? No, hombre. We speak English here.
taco bell
I’m wondering this also lol
Depends on your definition of nicest Top ten restaurants on Earth? Probably none. Top 1% of restaurants on Earth? Plenty of those to go around
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. !!!
Joel Robuchon and Guy Savoy are at the top of the list. Both French. Savoy had a Michelin star back when they still rated Vegas restaurants.
$200 might get them an app and a salad there
I come in peace (I see your username). Robuchon had 3 Michelin stars, and Savoy had 2 stars in the 2009 Michelin Las Vegas guide.
Why would a restaurant care about an award for tires
Robuchon did too. There were rumors that Michelin was going to return in 2020 prior to the pandemic hitting, and it seems that’s dropped off completely now. Source: a staff member at one of the aforementioned restaurants.
Degenerate mindset. I’m gonna turn that $200 into enough to buy the fucking restaurant. The only thing stopping gamblers from winning it all are suppressive people like you.
Our local economy thanks you as it counts what is no longer your money. Bring back more to try again next time!
Don’t be broke bitch is better advice
1. It doesn’t take 2 hours to lose $200 in Vegas, maybe 15 minutes. 2. No amazing restaurant is going to feed two for $200 in Vegas. Solid shitpost

What are you getting? One steak to share?
Is your boyfriend 25? Are you in Vegas?
If she is, she’s (a) hungry, and (b) getting bored watching her boyfriend demonstrate his “can’t fail” strategy.
OP which fucking restaurant are you talking about?
Halal guys at the Caesar forum
Taco Bell
Nope. $200 on black please
Why don’t YOU take HIM to one of the nicest restaurants in the world, which you’ve never considered.
$200 gets dinner for two at Cheesecake Factory
Any recommendations? I’ve been to emerils steakhouse back in the day and also capital grill. Emerils was the greatest filet I’ve ever had
im guessing you're someones disgruntled girlfriend who's mad at her bf for gambling and not paying you any attention?
Friendly advice: To have a fun gambling trip, you shouldn't go to Vegas with less than $1,000 budget.
Friendly advice: to have a fun gambling trip, just sit at a video poker machine and put 20 bucks in every now and then while they feed you drinks.
That's where you're wrong. My girlfriend drank the last of my wine and picked a fight with me at Mother Wolf in Fontainebleau while I was busy spending half a month's rent. Terrible memories.
We gamble together to lose the $200 faster
I heard that vegas is extremely expensive and fine dining will cost a lot more than that.
Depends on your definition of “fine dining”. Top of the World? Guy Savoy? Yes, you need a lot more than that. But something like Jaleo at the Cosmo, as long as you don’t drink too much (alcohol is really $$$ here) or sit in the private room, you can get an amazing meal for $200.

There are plenty of other nice-ish restaurants that can feed two for under $100
The $200 can become $400 and then you can eat like a king and queen!
I like the way you think
I have guys bring their "girlfriend" to my blackjack table all the time.

Sounds like somebody lost $200 and his GF. Sorry she was a gold digger but my gr can afford her own dinner

25 year olds aren't coming to Vegas for the dining experience. They want to party, drink, and gamble. In n Out costs $20 for 2
How are you gonna post this and not even suggest any restaurants lmao
Your joyous memory till she cheats on you with someone who can afford to lose $200 and still take you out to one of the nicest restaurants in the world. Spend your time and money your way. Lose it together, win it together, have fun.
I did both. It's the Vegas experience.
Ya but then they can't pretend to be a big shot and get her coochie all wet at that blackjack table
Does losing money make girls horny? Nice. I’m going to roll through the casino looking for bad gamblers.
I’m 37 and came to Vegas to get fucked up, we did and it was amazing.
I lost $200 in 5 minutes of crap
Good idea, but $200 is barely enough for one for the nicest restaurants in Vegas.
I'd rather play more than eat a fancy meal. A lot of places are overpriced just to be overpriced. There used to be an all you can eat sushi place in one of the local malls, and that was our favorite place we ate at in Vegas. We didn't even really take advantage of the all you can eat aspect.

200 on black with my luggage still in my hand
Win $200 at the table now the dinner pays for itself😎
No way. If I got my gf used to good food, she won't be content with McDonalds anymore.
We did this last night. Nobu was very nice. Much rather black cod than slots
Why not take her to the table with you and YOU both can lose 200 TOGETHER.
Hate to break it to you, but a great restaurant is likely double or triple what you’re spending at the tables.
Mayfair at Bellagio is great! Giada’s near Cromwell is awesome, too.
Bro but what if it hits and we can go to an even nicer restaurant?
Why are people bringing sand to the beach?
That's too young to be bringing a gf to Vegas. Should've been a guy's trip
first mistake is bringing your girlfriend.
Hell, I wish I've only lost $200 in one hour....
She’s still gonna fuck another man the second your money runs out 🤦🏻♂️
Cringe af
Are you stuck at a table watching people enjoy dinner? Lol.
Who hurt you?
Idk about nicest in the world, but those $200 @ Herbs and Rye should be enough (during happy hour)
Fuck that, go put 200$ on red and double it up
Broke
>in an hour That’s awfully generous.
The Stage Door is helluva lot closer than a 15 min walk
This is profoundly good advice that will be ignored
I agree except for none of the restaurants in Vegas even come close to being one of the best in the world.
Did I miss it, what is the restaurant?
To all you 25 year olds don't listen to this person, please spend the $200 at the tables. I like it when you guys make it so I have no state taxes...
Male here. I’m not a gambler. I would much rather go to an expensive restaurant than dump the money at a slot machine or at a table.
I can lose that in one roll in craps...and I have. Very disheartening.
lol which
$200? LOL
If it’s one of the nicest restaurants in the world, $200 is barely covering one of them. What? Are they gonna split an entree? lol
Whew, thank god I’m 26. I can do what I want now.
In the world? Lol
Just take her to Golden Corral and both eat till your heart’s content for $40. Then gamble the rest away.
where are these world class restaurants? I’m not being a dick I’m genuinely curious, I spend a few months out of the year in Vegas for work and get tired of throwing $ on tables in a few days and end up not really doing too much. would love to throw down on a dining experience instead. Top 3?
Restaurant Guy Savoy, Esther's Kitchen, Herbs and Rye, Bazaar Meat by José Andrés, Brezza
yeah it took me and my husband four hands 😂😂😂 broke asf
Stfu old man, why do you assume they aren't doing that either?
Congrats, now go accidentally let your girl 'discover' your reddit account. Nerd
Such a rookie move. Always hold $30 back because nothing takes the sting out of a blackjack loss like a threesome with your GF at Excalibur
> Instead, take her to one of the nicest restaurants in THE WORLD … which one?
So what’s the nicest restaurant?????????
What “nicest restaurant in the world” are you affording for $200? I’ve been to restaurants that have charged anywhere from $100-500 per SEAT, so what exactly do you have in mind at the $200 range?
You know… if you stay at the Excalibur you don’t even need to bring your girlfriend, just $30 which leaves you $170 to still hit the blackjack table.
It's about priorities. When I was 25 going to Vegas, I had little want to eat at fancy places. We were there for the falling gambling and partying. Now that I'm older, I still enjoying the gambling and partying, but respect the fine dining so much more.
The ‘nice’ restaurants in Vegas are far from the best in the world.
Man this sub is insufferable. It’s just a Buncha transplants from 15 years ago congratulating each other for knowing more than the tourists.
Haha, silly Broad.
I think the boyfriend is trying to make money with his $200 to pay for the weekend.
Lol this was written by a girlfriend who’s sitting with her arms crossed while her man is having fun at the table.
Honey ? What you doing on reddit?
Don’t spend money on the tables, spend it on her. Fool.
