My girlfriend is bringing $500, since she isn't a gambler.

Is this sufficient enough to have a good time?
Sure, just set a daily budget for gaming and if you have an off day then wait for the next day. (I should learn this myself ).

They have various shows at half-off, not sure if Caliendo is one of them.

Should be fairly quiet at that time. 2300 hours is good.

Drinks are free when playing (don't forget the tip). Think penny slot machines, play one unit...slowly .

Enjoy your trip.
