Assuming that this is not your budget dollars for travel, transportation, and a room.
Lets break it down for 3 days and 2 nights, which is the average stay in Vegas.
2 meals a day minimum, average $7.00 for the cheapest meals at McDonald's, Nathans Hot Dogs, etc. equals $42.00 for meals.
Now you have $98.00 left.
If you only play penny slots, to get full line action on such a machine, you need at least 15 cents a spin, which gives you 6,533 spins.
If you spin the slot machine 10 times a minute, (which would be really slow),
and did not get one winning spin this will last you 653 minutes of gaming, (rounded up),
or a little less than 11 hours of gaming.
Divide by 3 days than you get to gamble less than 4 hours a day.
Now if you play black jack, $98.00 at a $5.00 black jack table will give you 19 full hands to play, if you did not win any hands.
This will let you play black jack for about 6 minutes.
Now, if you want to take advantage of free drinks while gambling, you also need to tip the cocktail waitress at least $1.00 a round.
If you stiff her, then you will not see her again.
The drinks are free, not the service!
So, if you want to eat, and gamble for real, take a lot more money!
Now, you may get lucky and win a jack pot on the first spin, and hit a winning streak.
But face the music, Vegas is not built on winners.
Its the average person, who looses their money.
To have a really great Vegas vacation, plan on at least $300 to $500 a day for food an gambling per person.
Treat your gambling money like it was entertainment money, and have fun, and only gamble what you can aford to loose! |

Maybe for one day and an overnight stay at let's say a Days Inn, but overall, no. Unless you really feel lucky, try it! |

Well, if your travel expenses are already taken care of, and you're not gambling, I don't see why not. But if you still have to pay for eating/hotel/etc, then no. |

No. Not worth it and you'll definitely regret it. That is the ultimate "sucker bet"! Don't do it no matter how much you're tempted. |

no because that is not enough like at all |
|

No because if you go off spending it you will be so out of luck and don't forget about cash so you should have at least $1,000. |
|
Riddle Me This!
 |

Hell No! Not unless I had a credit card or some other means of accessing cash. That's not enough to get a room and I don't trust my luck enough to try to turn $140 into a 4 or 5 day trip! |

I went with only 8 dollars in my pocket and in one year ended up making 20 thousand a year with full benifits. |

You can play a lot of penny slot machines with that amount of money and have a couple of cheap meals. Just wont pay for a room and the above |

Yes you can sleep at sunset park at night for free and then go hang around the sports books all day looking at games to bet on 4 or 5 team parlays for $5 and $10 and eat footlong hotdogs and dollar beer at slots of fun. Then you could walk downtown or catch a bus and go to the western hotel and gold spike to get some companship for $20 then you can take the bus from downtown back out to sunset park and find a nice tree to sleep under and wake up and do it all over again. good times.have fun and good luck. |

It depends on how long your staying and WHAT you plan on doing when you get there. |

If all the money I had in the world was $140, I would not go on a trip. I would save until I could enjoy all that Vegas had to offer me.
If the airline and hotel are paid for and I had $140 spending cash, I would definitely go and have a grand old time. I would go swimming in the hotel pool, get a workout at the spa, enjoy some light reading. I would see if there is a good show (half price at tickets 2 night). Just walking around the strip at night is energizing. |

I just got back from Vegas last week. My trip was already paid. I went with $115.00 and hit the jackpot on a penny machine and came home with $4,500.
Why not go, you never know what can happen in Vegas. Remember life is too short, you only live once. Might as well enjoy it! Go for it. |

Why not that 140 dollars can turn into 1400 dollars in no time if you have a little bit of luck |
