Jun 03, 2018 Let's do business together! What a great way to reach a solid responsive audience of people who love Las Vegas. You can sponsor a video, get a shout out, or sponsor the whole channel. Sep 25, 2014 Free drinks in Las Vegas are kind of a tradition. Most people know that the casinos offer complimentary drinks when you are gambling. The drinks entice you to stay at the tables and machines or they inhibit your good decision making or both. As you probably heard in the past, drinks are free in Las Vegas as long as you're dropping money into a machine or playing at one of the table games. People have even scored free drinks if they were watching someone else play or if they were just standing around in the Casino.
The number one question I get from people that are first timers to the casino (I live in Vegas) is how do they score free drinks. As a “Vegas/casino veteran” you would think that I would start rolling my eyes every time I hear this question since I’ve heard it so many time but surprisingly I don’t. I remember my first few trips to the casino when I was 21. There were three missions…win money, get free drinks and meet girls.
Because of this, I fully understand this question and am always happy to help. It’s kind of like paying it forward I guess in some sort of twisted way.
All of that being said, what I’d like to do today is talk to you about the best ways to get free drinks, how things have changed over the years, and a few other things that I think are important for you to know before you make your first or next trip to the casino. Remember, every casino is different and will probably have different rules and procedures. I will be talking mainly about Vegas casinos as they are typically the standard which other casinos work from.
Free Drinks Aren’t Really Free
Leave it to me to be a buzz kill right off the bat. Everyone knows that in most casinos if you’re playing table games there are waitresses that are rotating around to give patrons free drinks. Do you have to pay for these drinks directly? No. The drinks are given to you at zero charge outside of a standard tip of $1 per drink that is not mandatory, but you won’t be getting any more drinks quickly if you don’t tip.
Where the cost comes in is that you may end up losing money while you’re waiting for your drink. The waitress usually takes a few minutes to come around and then takes a few more minutes after you’ve given your order to get back with your drinks. This whole time you are expected to be playing at the table which is why they are giving you the free drink in the first place.
If you were planning on gambling anyways, this is no big deal at all. If your only goal is to avoid paying $9 for a drink, this may cause you an unnecessary headache. You may end up losing a lot more than $9 and might not even be around when your free drink comes back. So yes, the drink itself is free, but it may end up costing you more money than you were trying to save.
Tips to Beat the System
With all of that said, you’re probably wondering how you can still game the system. While casinos have started to crack down a little on the free drinks, there are still plenty of ways to game the system and get more booze for your buck.
The waitress or waiter will also seem to make it around to your table a lot quicker if you are tipping well. Remember, most people are tipping $1 per drink, but even $2 per drink will go a long way.
They actually have lights on the sides of some slot machines that won’t go on until you hit that threshold. Hitting that threshold turns the light on and signals the waitress to come over. Thankfully for you booze hounds, this is only in a few select spots so you can just pick a casino that doesn’t have them if this is the strategy that you want to employ.
Fun story…I used to go to a certain casino on the strip that I won’t name and post up at a slot machine right by the entrance to the bar area the waitresses used. I would tip the same lady, like 5 or 10 bucks, and then $2 every time she came around with a drink and a shot. Let’s just say that I was able to get pretty toasty for like $10-$20 which was usually the price of 1-2 drinks. I’d be “betting” on the slot machine, but only a penny a pull and I was pretty lazy with my pulls.
Don’t Get Too Concerned With This
Remember, the reason you are going to the casino is to have fun, and you usually spend money when you’re having fun. There is nothing wrong with being a little strategic to get the best bang for your buck but don’t drive yourself crazy trying to save a couple dollars. If money is that tight, you probably shouldn’t be going to the casino.
I would link you to the blog posts about not drinking too much when you gamble, but if you’re reading this far into this blog…well, have fun and be safe ?
