CBJer coming in peace. Long question I guess and way OT. We stay at Aria about 8 times a year and are pretty familiar with the Aria - Bellagio - Cosmo - Park - NYNY bundle of casinos. We are coming there on Thursday with a few friends who are making their first trip and don't know how to gamble. Although I usually play blackjack and craps, over the years I have found a few mindless / fun / very low dollar to time spent ratio games and I am hoping someone can add to the list. Again, I am looking for more games where there is no thinking, it takes a lot of time and are cheap. (yes I know fremont street is the place to go for cheap, but we prefer the city center area. Currently my list of cheap mindless time burners (I don't care about making money - just hanging out with friends and free drinks) are:ONE: the wheel - bet on 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 40. Sit here and bet $2 on #1 and $3 on #2 and you walk away down about $20 in tips 6 hours later. TWO: roulette - and you can bet $1 on the giand slot machine looking ones and sit 2 or 3 on a giant chair. THREE: a new one but the horse racing game at Bellagio right by the guest elevators. $1 or $2 bets usually break even at some point, and you have bathrooms just 40 feet away. FOUR: video / big bubble dice craps. NYNY has a small minimum bet and just sit there betting the pass line and pray. Then as rookies want to learn a little more, you can slowly add/train them on another...another...another...another kind of craps bet.
Any other ideas?
