What was your first casino experience

[queen of hearts]

I just have to ask this one.

"What was your first experience in a casino like"?

I know that for me I was really surprised. I couldnt believe the amount of people who were gambling. Of course I also got caught up in all of the lights and sounds that were all around me.

I never thought I would be much of a gambler, and as it turned out I was right. Though I do enjoy going every now and then just for a little bit of fun.

Though the first time I decided to go to a casino, I did it only because I was finally old enough to gamble and I wanted to be able to say that I did.

Of course as I was entering the casino, I was quickly stopped by security and had to show my I.D. LOL. After that I went inside and was really surprised at everything around me. It was like I had walked into some place that was out of this world.

There were just so many people hurrying this way and that way. There were so many lights and sounds all around. It was great.

I didnt take very much money in, because I feared that I would end up gambling to much. So I took the little bit of money I had and just walked around and checked everything out.

After a short time of looking around, I decided to try my hand at the slots. I found one that I liked the looks of and played for a few hours.

Of course I really didnt win anything, and when I ran out of money, I left. Though I had a great time and I go back for a visit every now and then just for the heck of it.

I answered this question in another forum and here is what I put:

The first time I ever went to Vegas, I knew what everyone had said about it was true!! I was absolutly in awe! It was like I was transformed to another world. Not only the lights and the sounds but the pure beauty of it all.

I fdid not kno what to do first, it was like I was in wonder land. I did not know how to do anything or what toplay or anything. But I had a blast learning it all.. There is nothing like it!!

My first experience at a casino was when I was young, too young to play.

Our father decided to do a little gambling when we were passing through Las Vegas.

He stopped at a casino and went inside for about 15 minutes and played a slot machine by a window, where he could watch us, his 4 children, in the car.
When he stopped playing, he walked up to one of the floor people and talked to them, and then came outside and then drove to another casino.

I think this one was the Golden Nugget, which he found a window seat again so he could watch us.
And I think he came here because it had bathrooms, and us kids had to go shortly after we arrived.

I remember walking in holding my dad's hand and looking around at all the people.
So much noise for my small ears. Bells ringing, money dropping, and all those flashing lights everywhere.
I was mesmerized by it all, and it felt like a dream to me.

We walked outside and it was quiet again. I was shell-shocked.

I got back into the car and just sat there staring through car window at the casino window, and all the machines, people, and lights going on inside.
And finally fell asleep.
