Lots of seemingly sound advice in this thread. Thanks, guys.

I'm a Vegas junkie but really not a huge gambler (I like the dining, people watching, excitement and extravagance above all else). I've been known to frequent the blackjack table on occasion, but certainly no pro. I've always wanted to learn the craps game, it seems to me like the most exciting table game (when things are going good for the table, at least).
