For a sure bet, the best way to make a small fortune in Las Vegas...

Start out with a large fortune. Look around, who do you think paid for all that glitz and glamour and neon lit dreamscapes. They can't give it away in comps to nickel and dimers. Where is there a nickel game? Can't think much more than a hot dog for a comp.

Comps are based on how much action you give the casino not whether you win or lose. But if you find out how, let us all know.
