>>Is it True in Las Vegas, hotels with poolside gaming must allow you into the pool area regardless if you're a hotel guest or not, to gamble?<<

Yes, it's true, anywhere in Nevada. In the vast majority of cases, they must allow you in free of charge. As with any law there are always exceptions >If the hotel provides an "extra" amenity then they are allowed to charge an entrance fee. This would be along the lines of a band, DJ or party. Exceptions are also made in some cases, for high limit salons.

Its my understanding that this is the case but I dont think that this allows you carte blanche access to the pool, I am assuming that you are in particular referefing to the new poolside casino at Mandalay. If you go there play 3 hands at $20 and then expect to sit round the pool all day you will probably be asked to leave when you have finished gambling, if however you play a couple of hours at $200 a hand they will happily let you sit there all day but then the same woudl apply had you been playing at that rate inside and asked for a pool pass.

once I heard Billy Graham say there have been greater church homes in Las Vegas than Casinos....Its merely that greater human beings bypass to the Casinos then the church homes... besides the shown fact that, Las Vegas could be a effective place to stay. Who is familiar with, you will get employed to be a Chip Monk!!

NO that is not true. There are very few with outside gaming, too.

I doubt it....
