Getting a beer or a mixed drink in a
Las Vegas Casino is a lot different than it used to be. Where the drinks used
to flow freely and were as readily available as the oxygen in the air just
about anywhere in the Casino. Currently at some Casino bars drinks can be sold
from anywhere between $1 to $15 a drink. Bottle Service at one of the trendy
night clubs can set you back anywhere from $100 to $1,500.
Even at most Casino Sports Books to
get a drink you are required to have a drink ticket to get your favorite
beverage. You can obtain a drink ticket by making a bet for anywhere from $2 to
$100. Be sure to ask your ticket writer what the policy is as it varies from
casino to casino. I was recently at the Venetian Sports Book and you could only
receive one drink ticket for each $50 you wagered.
If you are betting horses most
casinos will allow you free drinks if you are betting whether or not you play a
minimum amount, because most horse bettors are usually there for several hours
and spread their bets out over many races at different horse tracks. Usually
there is a different seating area for the people betting horses where they have
individual televisions, where the cocktail servers might ask you if you are
betting horses.
If you only want to bet sports and
want to drink for free, I recommend you sit in the horse racing section and
make an occasional minimum bet of $2 to $5 on horse races. Be sure and tip the
cocktail waitress a $1 or more per drink and she will keep returning and you
will receive your free drinks.
One Sports Book in Las Vegas that
currently does not require drink tickets to receive your free drinks is the
Bellagio (for now). Simply sit down in the Sports Books area where all the
televisions are located and the leather chairs are extremely comfortable. When
the cocktail waitress comes around you can order whatever you like. I have
often ordered premium brand liquors, or even doubles here without a problem. Be
sure and tip your cocktail waitress, and she will return frequently to take
your order.
