    One thing I do that no one mentioned:::the last night (always fly out 06:00 AM) before flying back to east coast I play "all night". I literally play till wife says it time to go to airport. Wife has luggage packed and all I do is get up from VP machine and go.

    It does make for a long day, especially when you can not sleep (and I can't) on a plane.

    Roulette ave. 3 hrs. per day
    VP ave. 10-12 hrs day

    When I need a break from VP I go play roulette to let my brain/fingers rest. After a hour or so with roulette back for VP.

    I'm in town for business, but even if I wasn't, I'm sure I wouldn't be a "grinder" gambler type... I'm good for 2-3 hours in the evenings after meetings, unless I hit something like Tuesday. I sat down at a bar top VP, put in $200 (play at .50 level) at 5 p.m., by 5:45 p.m. I'd had 4 drinks and hit a 4 of a kind (3;s w/4) for $400... I looked an I was down to $50 from my original, so I cashed out had some dinner and went to the room. If I'd stayed, I couldda won something bigger, but likely I would given the $400 back or at least most of it.

    6-8 if I had to take a wag at it. Wife likes to spend time at the pool so I go along with it during the day.

    We are heading out next week for our first fall/winter trip ever so I'm expecting those numbers to go up with pool time not being a factor this trip.

    The wife and I always talk about doing other things besides gambling
    and we usually do go see a show or two every trip. We eat twice
    a day and will casino hop but end up pounding the slots 12 to 14 hours a
    day. It's what we love to do and the main reason we go to Vegas.

    3-4 hours, usually less.

    We spend our days at the pool in the summer, or out and about in the valley during the cooler months. We will usually play a little before/after breakfast, sometimes in the afternoon when we get back in, and again after dinner if we don't go to a show or concert. We are really stayers, and not players.

    Definitely 6+ hours a day, but probably closer to 8. In fact 10 isn't out of the question.
    We are up and out of the room by 4-5am. Figure in food and some walking around and it still comes up with a good amount of time dedicated to gambling.

    I'm probably in the 4 - 6 hr. range. That's when I'm solo. (Which is most of the time.) I like walking around to different casino's during the day. I'll gamble a little at each but not much. Maybe $100. I prefer to put my gaming time at the casino I'm staying in. I max my chance at some comps that way. I do this late night. Then I don't have far to go to get to sleep because I'm at the point of passing out by then.

    It depends on how the bankroll is holding up for the most part. We usually take enough and looking through some past trips it is easily 10-12 hours a day. As many east coaster's have mentioned, being there for three nights at most I never adjust to the time change so that and excitement deprive me of sleep so three maybe 4 hours of sleep a night the rest gambling and walking from casino to casino.

    Probably why I rarely book a win for a whole trip, but it is damn fun.

    I would average 9 - 12 hrs. a day. Early morning session, a midday session, an early evening session, then a late evening session, the latter being the longest.

    We stay up until 2 a.m., wake up around 8 or 9, have room service breakfast, shower, and do a little slot gambling at the casino where we are staying.

    Take a break around 2 p.m. and walk or take cab (if weather is bad) to other casinos and play some more here and there.

    In the evening, dinner and a show, a little gambling there and then more gambling at our host casino until 2 a.m., and the ritual repeats. Love Vegas without a schedule, so this is likely to change without notice.
