Kaiser,

I totally understand that for sure, as I have had OCD issues since childhood. I was only able to handle the Vegas trips by not only verbally telling myself, family & friends that I would stick to my strict budget for the gambling part of the trip & I put it in writing for myself & carried the note in my pocket during the trips. I haven’t had any addiction problems of any kind in my life thankfully (except big-time coffee/caffeine consumption in college!).

Tip for those thinking of visiting Las Vegas: It is not the place for those with alcohol addiction, as alcoholic beverages of all kinds are free while you are gambling.

Kaiser,

I agree wholeheartedly. I’m not a gambler at heart, but I did visit Las Vegas 14 times for vacation with family & friends over the years. It is a curious & fascinating place with lots to do other than gambling. I always set aside a certain dollar amount to use for gambling for each trip & did not exceed that budget. I often wondered how many people have to live in Las Vegas because they lost their life savings & their shirts & pants & underwear gambling there and had to start their lives over.
The stock market & coins/precious metals investments have somewhat similar risks of course, but in Vegas the “House” always has the upper hand.
