I know, I know...so I've been to Vegas twice this year and I'm still too scared to sit at a table to gamble. I don't know what to do! Is it rude to stand behind the people gambling at the table and watch?? Last time I played video poker and had a blast, I would love to try out the tables this time. The slots just make me mad, haha, I play them like a video game...until it says Game Over. Will the dealers explain the game to me if the table is pretty empty or do they absolutely hate people like me who have no idea what I'm doing and ask too many questions?? Any input would be great. Thanks for your help guys!
Just sit at the table and give the dealer your money. They will give you chips to pay with. They will gladly answer any questions as will most people at the table, since they want the game to move along. You will be suprised how soon you will be an old pro....or broke, whichever comes first.
- Actually downtown Las Vegas is a little more tolerant of taking the time to explain the game. Most casinos show how to play the game on TV, or they have time for lessons at the tables.

Craps is a very popular dice game. Unlike blackjack it is a luck game. If you learn how to do a "pass line" bet in craps you can join in. The nice thing about craps is it's designed to build excitement because most people bet the same way. If one person wins, almost everyone wins at the same time. Then everybody gets excited at once. Blackjack is a solitary game, you don't get to celebrate together.
-----------------------------
A "pass line" bet in craps has probably the lowest house edge in the casino for a pure luck game. In addition you can "take the odds" after your original bet. "Taking the odds" is the only pure luck game in the casino without any house edge.

There is an online version of craps in the source. Read the rules, and then practice before you go to the casino.
Every casino in Vegas I've ever stayed in has lessons for gamblers. They are free (although it is nice to tip the instructor/dealer).
You can get a lesson in any table game you like. Although Blackjack is probably the easiest to figure out for a beginner.
The lessons involve some real practice for play money. It is in the casino's interest to make you feel comfortable and understand the game. Otherwise you won't play.
Next time you book, ask them about the lessons, when and where they are. And make that something you do on the first day.
You can get a lesson in any table game you like. It's not rude for you to stand behind the people gambling at the table and watch because if you watch the game you can get some useful tips.But don't bother what others think. There is no wrong to take professionals help.If you hesitate loss is for you.
For every beginners rules,tips,etc are very important.So, better understand the game first and play.
I love Vegas ,when went there one time ,i always went out with my bestfriend and check out watch the wax museum .so i enjoyed ,and casino likes my money ,specially in slot i didint win nothing ,..wow vegas is awesome if you stay more days and get broke hahaha ,...gamble more and take all penny you've got in your pocket....hahahahah a
Dealers explain any games , and it is not a shame to not know how to gamble. The worse is when you loose by not knowing a thing...
So dont be ashamed and ask prof and expert gamblers.
You can find pretty good tips at gambling forums also.
A few casinos offer formal lessons. You can ask any supervisor in the pit about this. If they do not, the dealers teach on live games.
Most casino dealers are happy to teach. Choose a table that is empty and it is best at a slow time of day. I suggest you go to Main Street Station in downtown Las Vegas. The dealers are quite friendly and the atmosphere is comfortable.
Sit at a blackjack or other table and tell the dealer that you want to learn to play. Remember to tip the dealer as you play and learn. The dealer will be happy to teach you the game. Some customers do not want to play beside beginners so choose a table that is idle.
Step up to a craps table and stand next to the dealer. Tell him right off that you are want to learn to play and you have a bankroll to play with. Too often they teach people who haven't money to play with. This is best done on a game with a few other players, but not many; one or two on each side is fine. Don't let the other customers interfere in your lesson; let the dealer teach you.
Dealers work for tips. That is one reason they like to teach. Ask the dealer, "how do I tip you?" and you are tipping for service, including lessons.
