After swearing I wasn't going to gamble in Vegas, I ended up playing slots at the Barbary Coast while the boy played craps. I put $20 in the machine and played for almost an hour off of that amount, in the process getting two free drinks. While I didn't win anything, with the drinks factored in I probably broke even. Also, my craps playing boyfriend liked the $5 minimum tables and even ended up walking away ahead. The dealers at his table were very friendly too. It reminded me of the scene in Swingers were the dealer is teaching the old folks how to play.
Barbary Coast isn't fancy, but it's got a charm that some of the newer casinos don't have. The decor grows on you and I thought it was great that instead of the fancy food choices some of the other casinos offer, they had a hot dog stand.
