Las Vegas is the city of opportunity for international and local gamblers who hope to make a fortune over a short period.

If gambling is the reason you travel to Sin City, just like millions of your peers, then you need to know a few things about this fascinating place. Just like other gambling operators from all over the world, local casinos have strict gambling laws and minors are prohibited. 

Americans are well familiar with the fact that you need to be at least 21 to drink alcohol or gamble. That’s why they are not surprised that people younger than 21 are not allowed to enter the premises of land-based casinos in Las Vegas. The idea is to protect them from the potential risks of gambling addiction and denying them access is an effective way. By comparison, Europeans have lower age limits and people are considered to be adults once they turn 18. 

Nevada sticks to the 21 threshold

Things have changed nationwide over the last couple of years and many states have lowered the age limits to 18+ similar to European countries like the UK were online casinos and slot sites accept adults aged 18+ to play online — follow this link to read more. This means that if you choose to gamble at casinos located in the states, you can be younger than 21 and allowed on the premises. This is not the case in Las Vegas, so if you are hoping to enter the local casinos you need to wait until you turn 21. It is not permitted to walk around and watch the games, so don’t set your hopes high if you were expecting to get a feel of casino interiors.

The thing about gambling in Las Vegas is that you have multiple options depending on your preferences. You could spin the reels of slots, play card games, or bingo but all of these are only available to those who are 21 or older. It is also important to know that you are not allowed to bet on sports, not even videogame competitions. That’s a bit frustrating, since many esports are played by professionals who are younger than this age, yet betting is prohibited.

Other sources of entertainment are available

Las Vegas is known for its casinos and gambling, but there are plenty of other exciting things to do when in town. For example, you could attend one of the many entertainment shows and have a lot of fun watching the greatest comedians. These shows take place daily so regardless of preferences and tastes, you are never in danger of running out of options. Just make sure you make the reservations on time, as the expectations are high and many people are interested.

The bottom line is that regardless of age, you have good reasons to be excited by a trip to Las Vegas. Just remember that strictly for gambling purposes you need to be at least 21 years old to play the games.
