I'm going specifically for work, but I have a friend who lives there and another friend I haven't seen in 3 years (since he moved to Phoenix), who coincidentally has a convention there at the same time, so I will be doing some playing as well.
I am not bringing the clubs for a couple of reasons, the main one being that I am flying and don't feel like dealing with the hassle. My friend has spare clubs if we decide to go play, but it's not in the current plans.
I prefer 21, but if I drink enough I can be persuaded to play craps. I tend to be good enough at 21 to not lose much, though I seldom win much either. As for craps, I might as well just write a check to the casino and be done with it. That being said, I do not gamble on the Strip. There's some bad juju there or something, as every time I've gambled there I've had my ass handed to me. I'll sometimes play if I make it to Freemont Street or one of the locals' places off the Strip.
The way the Jazz have been playing (5-10 in their last 15
) I'd probably be better off betting against them. I'm not really savvy enough to gamble in sports books though, not to mention I won't play high enough stakes to make it worthwhile, so I'll not likely be placing any bets either way.
