Gambling online and at physical casinos will really give the gambler different feelings and experience. The ambiance and the vibe of playing online is far different than playing in actual. For those introvert gamblers, they prefer to be inside the comfort of their homes instead of actually interacting with people so playing online in gambling website could help them focus and enjoy more. Meanwhile, for those extroverts and those people who prefer the feeling and ambiance of a casino vibe, Las Vegas casino spots might be their thing to try on because of the looks of the place and the machines and the interaction between gamblers as well.

As a tourist, you must really be responsible for the money you'll spend because you are in a place unfamiliar with. If ever you run out of cash, you can't just go home and get some. Remember, the process of exchanging money is a hassle too, so if you will spend all of your pocket money in gambling, it will probably cause you trouble. Hence, you should establish boundary beforehand if you plan to try and play inside an actual casino establishment.

Gambling is naturally growing and this Online gambling has contributed a lot where we can see young ages are joining and gambling. Offline casinos cater mostly to young adults, adults, and oldies where they found themselves happy together with their friends. That is to see that the gambling business is growing as well knowing that there are a lot of people somewhat looking for a place to stay especially those who wanted to relax and enjoy themselves. In fact, even though kids are illegally doing this now, it really creates an influence on young minds.

I used to gamble before I turned 18. Yes, I made many mistakes at that time, but not because I was too young, but because most of us learn only through personal experience. It really doesn't matter if you're 16 or 30 and decide to test the Martingale strategy on your own experience. After one or more major losses you'll realize that it doesn't work as you'd like it to. And nowadays, when everyone has a phone with the Internet, bypassing age restrictions is easy.

I think anything below 18yrs for a child is regarded to be underaged and this is commonly applicable to most countries and nowadays, I've begin to see children below 18yrs going to gambling location to place bet, yet the casino operators will not denied them access to gamble because they want to make money, some children will actually be sent by their parents, especially some addicted fathers, these are oart of the challenges encountered and many factors have contributed to it, the parents, the casinos, the environment and the age at which these children got exposed to gambling.

Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling_age.

Nearly all countries imposed the minimum 18-21 year-old age limit rules for gambling. Communist China and many Muslim countries banned gambling. Okay, I find this interesting. Countries that have no minimum age limit on gambling are poor and developing counties, except the UK. I never thought the UK would allow everyone to just gamble. Another interesting find is Afghanistan where gambling is illegal but online gambling is legal at any age (I have a feeling wiki is wrong on this one).

And suppose Las Vegas is your vacation destination. In that case, you can just visit the casino and play there to feel a different atmosphere from playing online gambling. Of course, you will meet various people who like gambling. But you have to remember that you are on vacation and if you don't bring a lot of money while on vacation, it's better not to try playing at an offline casino because you can forget to manage your expenses. But if you just want to know the difference between gambling in Las Vegas and your place, maybe it can be done responsibly.

It is interesting that in some countries ... tourist of a younger age of the allowed age ...are allowed to gamble. It shows us that they are more worried about the income... than the protection of children against gambling addiction. 

How is a younger person of another country any different than the young people in your own country?    In my country, the gambling age is 18, no matter what country you originate from. It just cause confusion, because some people have dual citizenship ..and they can circumvent this gambling restriction with that.

Really? I thought countries' rules are already being applied automatically to all states and provinces but thanks for the heads up. I am actually planning to travel on this one country and to play gambling is one of the activities that I want to do. Now I know what to do.

I will check this specific province or state if what are their rules in gambling like if they have a dress code or something so that I won't waste time, effort and money for traveling on that gambling place. There might be good sceneries in Las Vegas and Macau other than gambling right? I might check them out too soon if I have saved up a good amount of money again but for now, I am set to travel on other countries.

We all have reason to travel and visit other country, if it’s included in your itinerary then why not, I guess you really have to plan your visit every time you travel so you can maximize your time and spend your time well on that foreign country. I agree that If it’s a tourist spot, then it’s a good experience to try but if you are not a gambler, you can easily learn how to play slots and other gambling games.

Yes, specific locations have got Casinos. While visiting those locations having fun on those casinos is good rather than looking for a casino where ancient civilization or something else is the attraction.

When it comes to physical Casinos, it is always good to spend on the games in which you've got some idea. People just go and spend even without knowing what is the game, such things shouldn't be done.

Anyways, if a person is traveling to a place where really known for something popular, it's obvious that they should visit the highlights of that travel.

For example, Las Vegas and as you mentioned, is famous for casinos, even a non-gambler will surely try to visit one of the casinos there.

But for a place that has another attraction or is well-known for, don't prioritize looking for a casino there just because you/we are a gambler.

That's the thing, if you're going on vacation there are people who would like to spend a lot on most of their trips especially for foods and accommodation however it shouldn't always be the case. You can just find some hotels outside the casino which is almost as good so that you'll have more funds for other things like gambling. If you've come to Las Vegas to gamble, it's better to save some of your expenses on other things so you'll have more funds to gambling activities. I'm sure 5k USD is more than enough for your flight, accommodation, foods and gambling leisures.

Las Vegas is famous when it comes to gambling games. Almost the majority of people who went here are really rich people, as far as I know, please correct me if I'm saying something wrong. And what you said is also true that different regulations apply in each country when it comes to operating gambling.

And most countries are making lottery and casinos legal, whether it's land-based or online. But anyway, if that is one of your dreams, let's let time tell you the answer to that matter.

I have a friend working as a manager at McDonalds in Las Vegas. I was tempted to visit there but I also do not want to spend a lot of money gambling there. There are great casinos in my place where I can spend less. But if I can earn some extra money, I will go there and feel the extra vibes. Without including the travel expenses going in and out of Las Vegas, $5k budget will do. Cheap rooms are not too pricey, there are $50 to $100 per night and they are good rooms in good hotels after all. That is a good amount already to hop on to different casinos, gamble some of it and grab some beer.

For a Vegas trip, I'm pretty sure it's not enough since $5k budget can only pay for your airfare, foods, hotel and transpo so technically you should have other budget for your gambling activities. This is also my dream, to gamble in other country and honestly, my first goal is to go to Macau for now and gamble there, I heard a good reviews of casinos there and it's really one of the tourist spot as well. Anyway, other countries have a lot of restriction with regards to gambling, the age limit should be a concern here and the campaign of the government against illegal gambling should be more strict.

The majority of countries where gambling is legal have adopted 18 years old and 21 years for someone to play legally here is the complete list of countries where gambling is legal and at what age they allow individuals to gamble

Sounds like a plan! By the way, have you ever thought about actually doing this? After all, if you want it so much, why not? As I understand the approximate budget (minimum) for a trip there will be around 5k dollars (or am I mistaken?)? I'm not from the US and don't know the prices there. But if I wanted to go there so badly, I would start by finding out exactly how much money I need for this.

If there's a chance that I can get in Las Vegas I grab the opportunity this is the reason why people who visit this place they never skip to go to the different gambling casinos because they want to know and experience what kind of ambience and environment they will see there, I don't know if they have a restriction like it is open to the public or the people must need to show off or buy token first before going inside the casino it is good if someone answer this thing that already experience inside the gambling casino.

If you are really that a gambler specially if you do get fond of going into physical casinos then you would definitely be having these kind of wishes which i cant really be that surprised specially into those known places where gamblers do really wish to go.Who would be the ones will be forgetting nor ignore on going to Las Vegas? If we do have just the money then it wont really be that a problem on going
to various places but since we are financially non capable then its not surprising that you would definitely be going there.
About legal age? It would be commonly on 18 or 21.Does depend on countries laws and regulations.

I agree with you, for me Las Vegas is a gambling paradise with all those big casinos, I haven't had the opportunity to go there, but honestly when I go, I have to go and play, I hope I have a lot of money to spend and I don't It hurts me to spend it, and I have as a premise that the money you take to a casino is to have fun and to spend it however you want, that is why at that time I will not be ashamed to use it however I want, for me what I am most looking for in a casino is to be able to feel that emotion, that adrenaline that the game produces, the feeling that you can win a lot, and that those spectacular memories remain, like the music, the people who are there, that is, everything.

Well, the truth is that one day I would like to visit Singapore, Singapore has always caught my attention, Macaw too, obviously when we think of Las Vegas it is something more like a dream implemented by all the movies that have to do with that beautiful State of the USA , for me it is like a total world of pure casinos, however to do tourism in Las Vegas is something that would be very exciting, not only for the casinos, but for everything they contain, in Las Vegas I think they never sleep, they must be something similar to New York, which many also long to have as a tourist destination and to get to know some of the casinos there.
