On my first trip to Vegas I set a limit of $600 for gambling. Didn't care if I lost it or not, just knew I was not willing to spend a dime more and wanted to enjoy myself with slots and blackjack for a little while. It lasted me the whole three days, I was up $500 for a bit and still lost the net $600. I had a good time and stayed within my limit. I go to Vegas several times a year now and usually am not tempted at all to gamble, except to get my bar tab comped by playing video blackjack at the bar. And that's cheaper than paying for my drinks.
