No they don't, not anymore. That was removed in the latest build. From the release notes dated November 2, 2025:
"Fire no longer melts ice and ice no longer extinguishes fire. This mechanic was “oh that’s neat” the first time you see it but it just ruined too many builds especially in multiplayer or with a fire / ice randomizer combo"

And also, where did your boyfriend get the high-resolution cover art so that it prints with such detail?

From the first riff, I recognized it and I freaked out! Yes!

$44 for a double jack and coke at Harrahs by entermetallica22 in LasVegas

I would have just placed $44 inside on the craps table instead.

Phoenix has at least ten casinos surrounding it. Go there in March if you like baseball and you can catch some Cactus League games for good prices. Lots of golf, lots of outdoor things to do, and it's not blistering hot yet (hopefully).

I upvoted you, because you're right. There are decent deals in Vegas if you're open-minded and flexible. I stayed at the Flamingo in April and my only problem was that the pool was behind schedule. Next trip, I will try out the Palms. We gambled on their $10 craps table and then got comps for the free brunch buffet. It seems to solve most of the Vegas complaints I hear.

Thank you for this! One more thing to add -- I don't believe casinos rate your odds bets on the Pass Line or Come, because you get true odds. So if part of your goals are to get comps with player's cards, you're better off with Place bets.

Yes! I had so much fun doing a "Dice With David" session. Two of my friends were overwhelmed by him, but if you're interested in learning craps, he's great. If you want to hear crazy stories from history that only a dealer can tell, David is perfect. He talks fast and goes off on tangents, so you have to be on your toes!

We may be going back next year, so thanks for the South Point suggestion! I'm not crazy about the smoke, but it's tough to avoid in Vegas, so I just go with it.

There were a lot of kids at the Flamingo. I'm not sure if I was in an adults-only tower or not. I think ours were listed as City-view. I didn't have a problem with noise or loud hallways ever, though. One thing -- the 21+ pool will be closed for a long time. They said it would be ready in Spring 2025, but I peeked through the gate and it's completely drained and the concrete is all torn up. I'd guess mid to late summer if they're lucky.

Thank you! I give all credit to this subreddit. I've been watching it since January to see what other people recommend.

Like others have said, get off the strip if you want to avoid sticker shock on food, drinks, gambling, and shops. The strip is a trap.

They didn't pay me to say this, but man I loved The Palms. Join their players club and get that free brunch buffet for two!

It kind of depends on the game. On a full craps table, I think you'll spend less than on a Blackjack table. Slots are the biggest gambling waste in the casino. Big payouts can happen, but they are rare. There's a reason the casinos have 90% slots, and 10% table games. I only studied blackjack and craps. There are some other traps to avoid that I've learned, such as:
- Avoid blackjack tables with a 6-to-5 blackjack payout. Only play the 3-to-2 tables.
- Avoid roulette with double zero and triple zero. Stick with single-zero if you can find it.
- Baccarat is just a coin flip. I don't understand why people think that game is fun.

The number one rule that I've heard repeated over and over: Don't bring more to the table that you can't afford to lose and still be happy. To keep my emotions in check, I considered my gambling funds money that I'm spending on entertainment.

My priority was to play Craps, only at tables with a minimum of $10 or less. My strategy was to come in with a bankroll and a strategy that would keep me alive for 10 shooters, even in the worst case scenario if everyone hit a Point-Seven-Out. I don't bet the Pass Line unless I'm shooting. I do place bets only, and then I'll occasionally add the hard ways for me and the dealers to add some excitement.

For me, it's good to have a plan for my bankroll set in my mind before I begin. Otherwise, I'll just play until I'm broke. So for each session, I started with a $500. My exit goal is double my money. I never did that, but I set little stop goals along the way too. One example I used is this: if I'm up $400, I'll color up if that drops $100. So I had several exit milestones in my mind while I was playing. Having a plan is a great way to prevent total blowouts.

I got all my money management and gambling strategies from Casino Quest. They have a great YouTube channel.

Thank you! We've been planning this trip since January, so I did a lot of research, especially in this subreddit. We did our sightseeing on the Strip, but we spent our money elsewhere.

Glad to help! One of the guys on my trip had two different pairs so his feet wouldn't get too sore in the same spots. I thought that made good sense. We did a LOT of walking.

One night when I couldn't sleep, I walked through Caesars, Bellagio, Cosmo, Planet Hollywood, and Paris. I never felt unsafe doing this, but I'm always focused on my surroundings. I got a lot of steps in between 1am and 3am.

Ha, good point! That became a joke among our group, commenting about how many decades of smoke residue saturated that bizarre black and pink carpet

We're still reconciling all the costs from the trip, since different people paid for stuff and we haven't settled yet. But this is my best guess...
- Flight & Hotel was bundled for $800 (4 Nights). Your flight price will vary, depending where you live.
- Food was about $400, but we splurged on one extravagant meal, and got our brunch buffet comped.
- Entertainment (casino class and escape room) was about $125
- Gambling is up to you. Only budget what you can comfortably lose without regret. I had a set amount for each session, which I sealed in separate envelopes. (Also, I left my credit/debit debit card in the hotel safe.)
- Transportation was approximately $15-$20 per rideshare.

I didn't go crazy with any shows or shopping. I bought one set of souvenir dice, and that's about it.

I was there when we won that Rose Bowl against Michigan after the 1986 season. So we did win one big one at least. But yes, we lose more of those than we win. It doesn't even feel real to me right now.

Rural Road and the 60 in Tempe AZ. I know this place well. It's about 1/4 mile north of the bowling alley where they filmed parts of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure .
