In the early visits it was Caesars and MGM that would confuse me, over time though I have worked them out.
(I love the Crom, and I like to go listen to BASS, but I maybe don't want said BASS quite so close to the place I sleep...)
Not only don't I get lost, my husband used to say to me, "You shouldn't know where every bathroom is located in every casino."
Interesting psychology involved in this. The casinos apparently do it on purpose. The point is to get you lost so you cant find the exit and something will catch your attention and they make more money off of you. Though cruel to hide the bathrooms at least they have that gaudy carpet to cover the stains.
Haven’t lost my way in a casino, but……I have been sober and misplaced a car in a parking lot and a parking garage in Vegas! Good stories and memories from those moments.
Same here. My wife, about whom I've said has such a terrible sense of direction that she can get lost getting out of bed in the morning, navigates the place perfectly and makes fun of me for being unable to do so.
I learned back decades ago that to find the Necessary Room in most casinos, you just walk the perimeter and you will soon find it.
I've lost my direction several times at Red Rock and Sunset Station. Seven of the top 15 largest casinos in town are locals casinos and those are where I do most of my play. I've taken friends and relatives to places like South Point and various Station Casinos and they can't believe how huge these places really are. Not as many hotel rooms but the casinos are enormous. https://lasvegasthenandnow.com/the-15-biggest-casinos-in-vegas/
That's how I solve a maze. Put your hand on the wall and keep walking and you'll get out. Eventually.
MGM for sure. I have only been there a few times but it makes me uncomfortable. I like to know where the nearest exit is, but that place is impossible. Caesar's Palace second place. Of course I am strictly a downtowner these days. The casinos are much smaller but I know every front door, side door, back door and every restroom in every casino.
I think it’s more due to the fact that the floor is circular. I have many times have to look for the giant glass ball to find that one particular tower’s elevator.
I can't count how many times I've been disoriented in some Vegas casinos, including those times after a pit stop when I couldn't find the table where I had left my chips. However, I've never been more disoriented than when I moved to Bradenton 18 months ago and started going to Hard Rock Tampa. Being one of the largest casinos in the country, with essentially two casinos downstairs and a smaller nonsmoking one upstairs, and table games scattered throughout, it's easy to get lost. When my girlfriend lost her purse on one occasion, we must have run around in a panic for over half an hour just trying to find the last pit where we had played. (Fortunately, she got it back.) And having to drive home, unlike in Vegas, excessive alcohol hasn't been the problem.
I am now proud that I can locate Ceasars poker room. The next time that I enter the Forum Shops I'll surely be forced to call Las Vegas Search and Rescue.
Same here. There are many reasons I like to stay and play Downtown but never realized that many might prefer Downtown due to the fact the casinos are smaller and easier to navigate.
I lost my way to the restroom in the Luxor one night even though I had used the same one all night while sat playing the same slot machine,after a few hours and many pee breaks I left my wife at the machine,got halfway there and came back and asked her where the restroom was as I was too drunk to remember.
