Is there any place in Las Vegas where I can Gamble? -

I am 18 and my friends and I are taking a trip up to Las Vegas in April next year, I have been looking at questions asked on here about Las Vegas and most say you have to be 21 to gamble!We are staying at the Bellagio and they have a casino but yet again I dont know if you have to be 21 or 18 to gamble in the casino and if you have to be 21 why? didnt it used to be you only have to be 18 an legal adult lol!

I know you pretty much have your answer already but...All Casino employees are trained to look for under aged gamblers. Technically any casino employee can ask you for ID including Security, table games, slots, even the guy waxing the floor. It is a crime to gamble if you are not 21. OK there is the hard line, don t do it sideOn the other hand. If you just sit down and play a slot machine you might not get carded, table games are a no go though. Just don t have too much money in the machine so if you get approached you won t have to abandon much money. Playing is the easy part cashing out is harder. They have cash out machines, use those not the cashier s cage where a real person cashs your slot ticket out.If you do get ID-ed while playing the slot machines. You can do a few things. 1) Say Oh I left my ID in my room, my car what ever , try to be confident and casual and the person may let you cash out the machine and keep the ticket or they may take the ticket and say you can pick it up at the cashiers cage when you bring your ID. If they let you take it, you could have someone 21+ cash it out for you. or 2) you could say I m from Australia or where ever and I didn t know or any number of things. The vast majority of the time they will not tackle you, put you in handcuffs and call the Police. If you get a really gun-ho Security guy who is making you really sweat just walk away quickly and leave the property. Most casinos with a few exceptions are cautious about putting hands on people for liability reasons. No matter what B.S. the Security guy gives you just keep walking. If you are planning on just walking away don t give the person your ID, or tell them your name or anything just beat feet.Best thing... wait til your 21.

State law: You MUST be 21 to gamble in Nevada! Same with alcohol.No one will probably bother you unless you look younger than 21. However, if you win anything, kiss it goodbye as you will not be getting it. Some years ago, a 19-year-old hit the Megabucks on a machine in Caesar s Palace. Cameras showed that he pushed his mother up to the machine, like she had won it. The Supreme Court ruled with the State of Nevada that it had a right to exclude minors from gambling, so they lost their case. Needless to say, they were very unhappy with this decision.

llowing hotels do allow guests who are 18 or older to register rooms under their names. Please be aware that guests between 18 and 20 can not gamble in the casinos.

You have to be 21 to gamble and drink in Las Vegas. Also you have to be 21 to check into most hotels in Vegas. That includes the Bellagio. The only hotels that allow 18+ to check in are:MGM GrandLV HiltonGolden NuggetLuxorPlazaRivieraVegas Club

The NRS/law says a person has to be 21 to drink or gamble in Nevada. Sorry.The argument of a legal adult at 18 does not ride. They want people who make informed decisions and at 18 most have not had enough experience in life. There are other states that allow drinking and gambling at 18, just not NV

The only casinos where 18 year olds can gamble anywhere in the US are a handful of Indian casinos. Nevada state law says you have to be 21 to gamble, same as to drink.

The video game arcades at Circus Circus and I think Excalibur give you tickets for high scores which can be redeemed for prizes like stuffed animals. That s the closest you ll get to legal gambling in Nevada while under age 21.

Yes you can gamble at 18 by driving to LV. That is the only bet you can make.

You have to be 21 or over to gamble in Nevada...and drink.

no place i know of. all casinos are 21+
