Welcome aboard.

There are quite of few here who stay off strip.  We'll be anxious to share you experience.

Rental cars get a reasonable amount of coverage on this forum.

Welcome Bob.  Enjoy your time here and feel free to contribute as much as you can.  I am always learning and always find it helpful to read this forum as much as I can.  Some of the most knowledgeable people are on here in many different categories for Vegas.   :welcome:
There will never be another Vegas, enough said.

Welcome Bob - Do you have a craps strategy to share?  I try to follow the strategy outlined in Winning Casino Craps by Edwin Silbertstang.  It is pretty easy and improves your odds --- now if I could only throw the dice well....

I do a lot of reading and experimenting.  Have you read any of Golden Touch Craps books or followed their web site?  Also I have looked at The Dice Coach and read some of his info on the web.  I play $5 tables on the Boulder Highway and downtown also South Point.  The table hardnest, the shooters, and the speed of the game will dictate the way I bet, I don't believe there are two tables alike.  I try to get close to the stickman.  I set the hardways to start with and use a gentle toss landing about 3-5 inches from the wall.  I place the 6, 8, and 5.  I am not a winner overall by a long shot, but I have had some good games.
