First Trip to Vegas

I was 22 at the time when I went, and only was carded when I went to the club. Also when I was at the bar they would generally ask. But as far as getting into casinos...I didn't seem to have a problem. And once you're in, just play and drink. Although I remember getting carded at the tables here and there...and when I ordered my first drink at TI playing, I was asked for my ID. There's plenty of casinos to try and get into...just find one that doesn't have very strict security.

Just get a Nick Pappagorgio ID and you'll be fine

I cant speak much for the clubs, but my first trip, we brought my brother along who was 19...(he looks a bit older)...he just followed us...didnt say much the whole time..sat in tehbooks with us...just gave us money to place bets for him...no big deal..never ordered alchohol...just got water....and was nevr hassled...

sucked he couldnt drink..but he was able to hang with us in teh books, and was left alone...

Clubs/Bars/Tables = No way your friend is able make it happen there. Especially the nightclubs. Those bouncers dont even want males that are over 21 in there. Super strict.

The only time he'll be having any fun is cruzin around the strip with cocktails or whatever. Might be able to drink and hang in the sportsbooks, but prob wont be able to order anything and might get the boot after a while.

I'm 25 and have gone to Vegas 3 or 4 times per year since I turned 21. I consistently get carded everywhere. I'd tell your buddy to either stay home or have one more person come that's also under 21 so they can hang together during the majority "21 and over" parts of the trip.

When you guys hit the clubs at night, just tell yuor buddy to wonder the strip and recruit chicks to party back at the hotel late night - in case things dont work out at the club! That's my suggestion cuz he WILL be stranded.

Have fun!

You got carded for the first time in 9 years? What had you been doing previous to that? Rollercoasters and buffets?

Yea, being in a big group will def bring attention and not help the situation. But dont think that it's even possible for one sec that your buddy will have a chance at not getting carded at clubs or tables - not gunna happen. Especially on-strip, especially in a group, especially all males, especially in 2009!
