Casinos often offer much more than gambling. In Las Vegas, casinos are famous for their live entertainment, free buffets and much more. At Caesar’s Palace, there are regular shows by all types of famous celebrities including singers, comedians and magicians. Caesar’s Palace also offers a wide range of eating venues from fine dining restaurants, to casual dining cafes and plenty of bars and lounges. In addition to all of this, there is a large shopping area, and at the famous Venetian you can go gambling to your heart’s content, then take a gondola ride to wind down the evening. If you are not interested in gambling, entertainment, dining or shopping, maybe you can wind down with a full body massage in Caesar's Palace spa and fitness center.

Of course, all the free food, live shows and other features are really there to help diversify your gambling experience. The real reason the casinos exist is to provide you with quality entertainment with games of chance. Those games have come a long way since the old James Bond movies where hero and villain sit across the casino’s roulette wheel or the poker table matching wits.

Today there is video poker, progressive slot machine gambling, video blackjack and much more. The high-tech games are just as enticing as their older counterparts, and when you hear the jackpot sirens ringing on these machines, there’s no question who won, or where. Casinos today are bigger, more sophisticated and more dazzling than ever before.

To get more people into the casino, many establishments are offering incentive packages including books of coupons for discounted drinks, and some even offer a ‘bet matching’ incentive coupon that doubles your winnings on certain games. The casino scene offers many enticements and incentives, but the main attraction is always fun. Take a casino trip with a spending limit, good moderation habits and you’ll have just as much fun as any other night spot in town.
