Challenge Ideas and Games to play with friends -
*note the purpose of these games is NOT to make money or get rich, the point is to use your budget differently than you're used to, so one way or another, you'll have a crazy story to tell!
Walk-Off Homerun
Each person in your party goes around together and 1 at a time, picks a game of their choice, at the place they choose - everybody watches as they make 1 single bet (be sure to include a tip for the dealers, Vegas is a tipping town, you are allowed to tip, even if lots of folks don't act like it!), if they lose everyone goes to the next place for the next player's turn. If they win that person buys drinks or something similar to celebrate for the entire group at the current casino
Battlefield
Step in for one bet only, and match a random player's bet - if they win, we all win! Never let a soldier go into the Battlefield alone!
Vegas Bingo
Create a Bingo board before your trip, or Google one ahead of time, etc.)
All-In (*only do this one if you can afford it, it's very risky!)
Set out for your day and hold your gaming money all day until the moment you feel the vibe is right - when ready (don't force it), when you're ready - bet 1/2 of pre-determined amount on a single event (do this 1 time while the sun is up, and again at night) - the catch is it MUST be a game you aren't super familiar with, not a game you already know or have expectations about - the less you know about the game, the better - that way it's truly gambling, not trying to farm an outcome. That way you can make it a game of pure chance. Make sure to ask the dealer the rules of the game, make sure you account for any prop bets, side bets, double down type of things, etc. If it's a slot, it should be the highest denomination and least number of spins. You're either going to Feast, or Famine - either way, you'll have a story to tell!
All Nighter
Pull an all-nighter - stay out until the sun comes up the next day. Pics or it didn't happen!
Big Tipper
You're looking to give out the biggest tip you've ever given in Vegas - find someone providing a service to tip (shoe shine, bathroom attendants, valet, bartender, waiter/waitress, uber, bellhop, room service, housekeeping, etc.) - tip them so much you have a story to tell, and so will they! Be anonymous or not, up to you!
Robin Hood
Share some random winnings to a total stranger you vibe with, someone you're playing next to, someone at the table you're on, etc. (remember if you give it to them, it becomes their money and they can say no if they want to!) and ask if you can watch them make a bet in their chosen fashion - they keep all winnings on the bet they make
Suggested way to say it:
Hey can I give you $5 to make a bet, but you keep anything you win?
Miscellaneous
Over/Under (what's the over/under you'll see......)
Wife or Daughter? Is that girl with him his wife? Or is it his daughter?
Eat as many X as you can in 24 hrs - try things like 24 hrs of buffets, 24 hrs of appetizers, desserts, etc.
Scavenger Hunts (I have to do some thinking on this one, more details to come later)
Who can eat the most exotic dish?
What's your most expensive dinner, etc.
What's the most casinos you can visit in 24 hrs? Be sure to get a $1 chip from each!
