Question about Vegas....

[zmac]

I'll be heading to Vegas this August with a few of my friends, and I wanted to know if you had to be 21 to legally enter and gamble in the casinos there. We're all 19 years old and driving from oregon, so forgive us for not knowing the laws there.
Thx a lot guys

 

[WildBill]

21 for everything, sorry. You aren't even supposed to be in the casino area under 21, but they are fairly lenient as long as its obvious you aren't gambling.

 

[zmac]

Thats shitty man. There isn't one place for 18 and overs???

 

[Dante]

do not bother going its 21 all over and they card

 

[Fishhead]

Dont even try either, becaues they take this VERY SERIOUSLY in Vegas.

Your time will come, be patient.

Enjoy your youth.

[WildBill]

This town is definitely not where you want to come for vacation if you aren't 21.

 

[ChuckSims]

No, you guys will not have any fun as anybody under 21 will be treated as a child.

Take a trip to tijuana .I think the books are 18+ there. No guarantee you will make it back to the border if you win big but a fun place none the less.

 

[zmac]

Thx for the replies. I guess I will just have to wait

 

[zmac]

How far from the border is TJ?

 

[SkinsRaj28]

Get on a flight to Atlantic City...they NEVER card. Then again, I've looked like a 45-year-old terrorist since the age of 15...but still, I've never seen anyone get carded. Kinda far from Oregon, though...

thank you Oldmantime

 

[vegasisstilldead]

I think its about 4.5-5 hours..worth the trip

TJ starts right on the border with some bars and shops less than 5 minutes from when you go through the gate. Its about half-mile walk to the main tourist drag Revolucion or you can pay $5 for a cab that will take you just about anywhere you want to go. The houses of ill repute, Chicago and Adelitas, aren't too far from the main tourist area but you won't find them without knowing where you are going. There is a Caliente sports book about 500 feet from the border crossing, but not exactly a Vegas-style place, its outdoors with picnic chairs and tables and mostly a Mexican crowd betting on horses. There are a few nicer books further from the border, Pueblo Amigo, Jai Alai, and the one at the racetrack are all nice options.

Wow, Wild Bill you know alot about the real fun places in TJ like Chicago and Adelitas. had many of " fun times" myself at those two places. when i lived in vegas got down to TJ three or four times a year. Have not been there in three and a half years. miss it

 

[WildBill]

I havent been to those places in like 10 years but I know they aren't ever going to change or close talk about goldmines.

I go down there a lot to visit some friends. The town gets an unfair rap, its got great weather, tons of partying options, and easy to get into out of for a day or two of fun.
