Why Las Vegas is a Great Trip for Single Male Travelers

January 14, 2019

So, the guys want to get together and get wild?  Is there a better place on Earth than Las Vegas?  There are so many things to do in Las Vegas, that no matter what your vice of choice is, or isn’t, there is something for everyone.

Let’s start with the obvious – gambling.  When is the last time you and your buddies could huddle up on a blackjack or craps table, make some bets, and have some lovely ladies come by every so often and serve you drinks?  Sure, there are many places in the USA and abroad that offer casino gambling, but nothing like Las Vegas.  If you play enough, you can even earn comps towards your bill or hotel rooms! 

Getting filthier, Las Vegas is one of the best strip club towns on planet Earth.  Starting with Sapphires, Spearmint Rhino, and Crazy Horse 3, and down to all of the smaller, lesser known ones like the Cheetah, Chicas Bonitas, and Little Darlings, there are more women here to entertain you than you will know what to do with! 

If you come during the Summer months, you’ll have all the luxuries of the wonderful pool scenes Las Vegas offers.  There are many pools that allow you to relax, throw back some drinks, and take in the scenery, in addition to some other pools, like Encore Beach Club, that allow you to turn up the volume as loud as you want and spend money like it’s not a thing. No matter which category you fall into, you’ll see scantily clad women looking for some action while on vacation.  This is where being single is a man’s dream.  The pool season is officially from late March to late October, but you’ll also see outliers enjoying the pools in other months. 

A great place to meet women in Las Vegas is any lobby bar of a hotel.  These areas serve as meet-up areas for groups of people who have their own rooms and need to meet up before heading out for the night.  You’ll always find sexy women hanging around these lounges on evenings as they prepare for dinner, shows, and the club scene. 

A little known fact about Las Vegas is that many of the cocktail waitresses will party with you after their shifts if you play your cards right.  There are many of them that just want to let loose with guests for some no strings attached fun.  Normally they can’t be on the property they work at within a certain number of hours from the last or next time they work, but with so many places to hang out in Vegas, you can easily find somewhere to get a drink and let loose.

Downtown Las Vegas, known as Fremont Street, is also a great place for single men to visit and party.  You’ll find no shortage of street performers, entertainers, and drinking.  It’s almost like a mardi gras – only every day. 

If you ever had apprehension about doing a “guys trip” to Las Vegas, hopefully this article clarified just what you’ve been missing out on.  There are very few places like it.

On This Date: December 31, 1967 Evel Knievel Attempts to Jump Caesars Palace’s Fountains

December 31, 2018

Evel Knievel failed attempt to jump the fountains at Caesars Place on December 31, 1967

Evel Knievel failed attempt to jump the fountains at Caesars Place on December 31, 1967

On December 31, 1967, Daredevil Evel Knievel attempted to jump over the water fountains at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Knievel’s jump was a 141 foot attempt and his longest to-date.  When he hit the takeoff ramp, he felt the motorcycle unexpectedly decelerate. The sudden loss of power on the takeoff caused Knievel to come up short and land on the safety ramp which was supported by a van. This caused the handlebars to be ripped out of his hands as he tumbled over them onto the pavement where he skidded into the Dunes parking lot. As a result of the crash, Knievel suffered a crushed pelvis and femur, fractures to his hip, wrist, and both ankles and a concussion that kept him in the hospital for a month in a reported coma for 29 days.

The Caesars Palace crash was Knievel’s longest attempted motorcycle jump at 141 feet. After his crash and recovery, Knievel was more famous than ever. ABC-TV bought the rights to the film of the jump; paying far more than they originally would have had they televised the original jump live. Ironically, when Knievel finally achieved the fame he had always wanted, and fortune now a distinct possibility, his doctors were telling him that he might never walk without the aid of crutches, let alone ride and jump motorcycles again.

On September 15, 1980, Gary Wells gained much media coverage, and much physical suffering, when he unsuccessfully tried to jump a motorcycle over the water fountains at the Caesars Palace. He sustained injuries to many different parts of his body.

April 14, 1989, Robbie Knievel, Evel’s son, successfully completed what his father could not do years before by completing the fountain jump.

On May 4, 2006, Mike ‘The Godfather’ Metzger jumped the Caesars Palace’s fountains that included a back flip.

Basic Poker Tips for Beginners

Basic Poker Tips for Beginners

Poker is one of the oldest card games and has quite refined rules. These rules are easy to learn but difficult to master. If you don’t know what to do and what to look out for, you can lose pretty often. Playing poker is not like playing slot machines. For example, new wms slots can be played by every level of experience: Professionals and beginners have the same chance to win. In poker, however, a professional player can increase his chances of winning and is much more advantageous than beginners.

So what are the best poker tips for beginners? Below, you can find them and learn how to become a more skilled player.

Keep Watching Other Players

The secret of professional poker players is that they focus not only their own hands but on their competitors too. Even gamblers who have been playing poker for decades cannot fully control their body language. Your opponents will give you some hints based on the rank of the cards they have. They may be leaning back when a good hand comes. Or, when they get a bad hand, they may start coughing. This is the most important advice that we can give you: Learn the habits of your competitors by following their body language. If you’re playing poker with a new group, just watch them along with a few hands and try to find out the “tips” of their bodies. Getting to know your opponents will help you understand when you need to bluff too.

Don‘t Bluff Just for Fun

However, do not bluff continuously. Unnecessary bluffing is one of the most common mistakes made by beginners. Keep in mind that your competitors pay attention to your body language too. If you bluff continuously, it will be soon understood that you are not “serious”. After that, your bluffs will become useless and completely ineffective. Bluffing is something that needs to be done only after you fully recognize your competitors and in very rare cases. Professional poker players hardly ever do bluffing because if it is not done at the right time, it does not give any benefits. In fact, it may cause harm.

Play Aggressively

It is almost always best to follow an aggressive game style. An aggressive game is a poker game in which you continuously increase the stakes and do not fold. Increase stakes instead of checking or calling: If you’re playing with beginners, you’ll get most players to fold from the game. When you follow an aggressive game style initially, it will allow you to recognize your opponents too. Don’t be afraid to lose: You will learn the style of your opponents when you lose. For example, players who play as aggressively as you are the ideal candidates for bluffing. The poker table is similar to a wild jungle and the player who shows that he is “stronger” usually wins in the long run.

Learn Card Counting

One of the most useful recommendations is to learn how to count cards. We don’t expect you to be as good as a savant, but you should be able to count cards at the basic level. Calculate when it is your turn and make sure you have an idea of ​​what cards remain in the deck. In this way, you can also make a guess about your opponents’ hands too. You will not be able to reach certain conclusions and you will often be wrong, but even the worst card counting is better than playing only by “luck”. If you’re really bad at this, just try to count picture cards. They are fewer in number and can be more easily tracked for the same reason. Remember that by counting cards you can really increase your chances of winning. If done correctly, it will allow you to know what card your opponents hold. As can be guessed, this is a huge advantage. In fact, this is the “secret” of professional poker players: They are perfect at card counting. This is also why most of the poker tournaments use more than one deck – to prevent card counting.

Prefer Simple Variants

Poker is probably the card game with the most number of variants. All of these variants use the same card hierarchy, but the rules are different and complex. In the beginning, choose the simplest and most pure poker variant: 5 card stud poker. This is the closest variant to the original poker game, and the rules are very simple. For the same reason, even simple strategies work. In complex variants, you must use complex strategies. And to do that, you need to be able to play at a semi-professional level. In short, if you’re just starting out, don’t search for adventure: Choose simple and easy poker variants. This way, you can fully learn the basic tactics and move on to complex ones when ready.
