The Las Vegas Strip is loaded with huge, ultra fancy, luxurious casinos that can cater to your every wish.

So why would a visitor to Las Vegas bypass these elaborate properties, and choose to play at an off Strip casino, that, while nice, lacks the grandeur and elitist appeal of the mega-resorts?

Well if you're in a casino to gamble, and why else would you be in one, then you're there to win, and finding a way to tilt the odds a bit more in your favor would help.

Enter the "locals" casinos, the places where the residents of Las Vegas are supposed to go to gamble, in a more relaxed way.

With so many interesting Strip casinos, the local's casinos have to offer a bit more than just convenience to attract a steady stream of resident Las Vegas gamblers, and that's why visitors should check them out.

Locals casinos tend to make up for the lack of overkill glitz and upscale attached shopping centers found on The Strip by offering a better percentage on slot machine payouts for one thing.

You'll also find lower buy-ins for Poker tournaments and lower minimum bet requirements for Blackjack, so check out the Las Vegas locals casinos next time you're in town.

Have fun and good luck!
