you know, the girls that walk around asking for drinks when you are at the tables gambling..
also, can you ask for ANY drink (even expensive ones) and it's free? I'm going to Atlantic City soon.



Answer
Unless you're in the "High Rollers Club", or a Casino VIP, you won't be offered Premium Alcohol. If you're a ROOKIE, you're not a High-Roller. That means you may get a split of champagne or red/white wine, but you would not be offered Crystal. You may order the basic Well (in most cases), possible Call drinks. Such as:
Gin&Tonic, CapeCod, Greyhound,Rum&Coke,
Scotch&Ginger,
Tequila&Juice,Brandy&7, Draft beer, Red wine,etc. (These would be examples of WELL DRINKS) = They're using the mediocre bottles of alcohol that are not name-brand. Like, let's say Grey's Gin, vs Tanqueray or Bombay. Or house white Rum, vs Bacardi.
-
Most Casinos will include some CALL DRINKS, however. Such as:
-Bombay Gin&Tonic, Bacardi Rum&Coke, FuzzyNavel (with peach Shnapps),Kaluah&Cream, JackDaniels&Soda,
Stoli Vodka&Cranberry (CapeCod). You'll have to ask the cocktail server if they serve WELL or CALL liquer.
-
Cocktails that are free at Casinos do not generally include anything PREMIUM, unless (as said above, you've been deemed a HIGH ROLLER..then, the sky's the limit). Generally NOT OFFERED:
Long Island Ice Tea (6 liquers), Golden Margarita(Caddilac), Long Beach Ice Tea, Screaming Orgasm, Sex onthe Beach, Goldshlaggar, Hennessey, Courvasier, Patron, Johnny Walker Black, Kettle One, etc. If you have to have the premium liquers, or a drink which's made with several liquers, then asking to purchase a cocktail like that is what people do.
-
When she brings you your Greyhound, (free) it's important to tip. If you're winning at the Slot Machine/Tables, then tip as generously as you can. (fyi: Karma plays an important role when one is GAMBLING). Never forget it. All professional gamblers will tell you the same. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. Be generous. Gambling is easy-come/easy-go and to be cheap and greedy = The Gambling Gods will kick your butt and send your life into a tizzy for disrespecting the process and the concept.
-
Tip at least $1 ($2 IS BETTER) for a well cocktail. Raise the tip according to what you order.
-
There are usually servers with carts (= an airline cart) w/bottled water, Coffee or Decaf, Tea, Sodas and some Juices. Always tip at least $1 if you grab a bottle of water and a Coffee.
-
It isn't necesssary to tip the Change Girls who walk around, and it IS perfectly fine to ask them what Slot machine they've seen that's a WINNER. Note: WHEN YOU WIN on a Slot Machine that has paid off as a result of thier recommendation, then tip them. Hugging is OK, as long as you have won BIG. (Not if you're up 47 pennies, then she'll call Security and you'll be in trouble. Goes DOUBLE for tipping any of them 15 degrees so they almost topple). Always be respectful and kind. Always say please & Thankyou ever so..
-
Never stand behind a gambler..you may jinx them and they'll scowl at you. (again, Security may get involved). Gamblers get cranky re: jinxing.
-
Word to the wise: Bring beer or what you like to drink and have it in your room. Keep it in the mini-fridge. Alcohol at Liquer stores or from RoomService at Atlantic City or Vegas will/can breakyou.
-
Stay with ONE DRINK the whole trip. Do not re-enact Fear&Loathing inLasVegas! I mean it! Don't mix. Better yet, stick with BEER. Hotels will CHARGE if you vomit Sex on the Beach all over their Room.
oh, almost forgot:
GOOD LUCK!

<<if this repeats I'm sorry it won't quit doing this.>>

>-<> EDIT <>-<
Rent:
'Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas',
'Very Bad Things',
and
'Lost In America'
before you go.

What are some unwritten social laws and their consequenses?

Like if you stand and face the people instead of the door in an elevator, people look at you weird. If you cut in line, it may end up in a fight. People go out one at a time in a sports parking lot, etc. Can you give me a simple list?
I was just curious. I didn't like need to know it for my own life. Thanks anyway.



Answer
Depending on where you liveâ¦
Watch a blank TV, cheer when your team scores.
Ask a stranger for money.
Get into elevator and stand facing backward, talk to people in elevator like you know them, push close door button.
Stand too close to someone when talking to them, after eating onions or drinking coffee.
go to restaurant, pay with pennies
eat with your hands in a restaurant.
wear clothes backwards, guys could wear girls garments, wear shoes on wrong feet, don't shower, girls shave legs in public bathroom, or brush your teeth in public bathroom, use bathroom with stall door open.
farting, picking your nose, scratching body parts, same sex holding hands
cutting in line at bank
take groceries from other peoples shopping carts
saying hello, genuine manners
go to coffee shop and sit down with random people and talk to them about your health or sex life or do this in an office, act like you belong there and you know the people
stand while eating in a restaurant, or eat on floor, or under the table.
Pretend to be crazy, order food at a restaurant for you and your imaginary friend, talk to your friend, ask waitress for doggy bag for food your imaginary didnât finish eating.
walk around the mall with an open umbrella
wear a sombrero
have a picnic in the middle of the classroom
Hug a stranger.
Go to the beach in your winter clothes, play beach volley ball with an imaginary volley ball.
Wear a wedding dress to someone elseâs wedding.
I would think the consequences also depend on where you live and what would seem odd there.
