The main benefit of this is that is allows the operator to track your value to the casino. Just present the card and it basically tallies up all of your spend as you go. That includes gambling, bars, shows, restaurants or shopping. Once you have that card, you can use it to gain points on almost everything you spend money on in a resort. There is usually a rewards card desk and you just need to fill out a form and present some photographic ID. For the bigger chains, such as MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment, the same card can be used at multiple properties. Almost every casino has a rewards card programme and they are easy to sign up to. This is something I would advise everyone to do before they spend any money in a Las Vegas casino. So, this is my guide to the very basics of Las Vegas gambling for those who are complete novices or need a little bit more confidence. I was one of them, it took me three visits to Vegas to even sit down at a slot machine.

There are seasoned gamblers in Las Vegas, and plenty of them.
