$2,800 for Vegas isn't too shabby. I once went with $0 n came home with $400. It was my first time in Vegas many moons ago n as a college student, I had min prices but maximum fun.
Free car ride down
Slept in my friend's room for free
Went to every casino n made a player's card n by doing this, they gave me welcome gifts like free tee-shirt or pack of cards or promo playing money to spin the slot machine. I did literally every casino possible on n off the strip n even primm Nevada, 20 minutes before the strip too.
Cashed out everytime I win n if lose, it's house money.
Worst trip was barely got there n already lost $5k. Had to wait the next day to pull more money from the ATM machine.
But not the worst story I heard. Lady lost all her money at the airport slots machine. Didn't even made it to the strip.
