This lesson was AWESOME! Learned so much and immediately felt confident enough to go up to table games right after. Left me wondering why anyone WOULDN’T do a lesson! This was so helpful and Jordan was a great host. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who comes to Vegas at the start of their trip.

This was a lot of fun! Jordan was a great teacher! Definitely would recommend this if you’re unsure about playing table games on your own.

This is a hands on lesson with no gambling risk. It’s all practice with no pressure at all. You will learn the basics. The tour guide explains everything in simple terms. It’s fun and our guide Ron was funny! Entertaining! And highly knowledgeable! I love that the casino encourages our learning and participation by allowing the tour to use real tables and chips. Everyone leaves this experience a winner! Highly recommend for the novice that wants to give gambling a try without feeling dumb. Great experience, 100% recommend without hesitation!

What a great experience! I had some Viator rewards expiring this month and I wanted to do something really different - when I told my husband I had booked this experience he was really excited about it! Ron was a really good and patient teacher - he answered all of our questions and did a lot of examples. He also provided us with 2 "cheat sheets" - "basic strategy for black jack" and "basic craps." Super helpful. We were also supposed to learn how to play roulette, but we spent so much time on craps, which was what we really wanted to learn about any way, that we skipped roulette. Money and time still well spent ... the next day, I won $110 at the craps machine!

Great experience. Super fun and informative. Makes going to a table less intimidating. We had a great time with our guide and we put (Ron’s) knowledge to great use. Craps has always been an intimidating game, but stick to the basics we are up $700. Which made the birthday trip even more epic. Thank you Ron!!

The lesson was very good. The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The only negative was the very strong smoke smell in the plaza hotel.
Sue_L, Oct 2025
New to roulette and craps… play a good bit of black jack and still had questions about answered. Casual and informative - very interactive with Ron. Great way to build confidence.
Stephen_J, Oct 2025
Very informative and basic for beginners to understand… would highly recommend
Covers basics of blackjack, roulette, and craps

Jordan was great and so knowledgeable! We really enjoyed our experience! We learned so much about table games and insider tips!
Jonathan_P, Sep 2025
Very enjoyable experience - combined some of the history of Vegas with a very helpful lesson on how to gamble on the 3 games as advertised. Ron was a very engaging and entertaining host and would recommend this experience.

It was just me and my brother with Ron.
Ron is a great guy and very knowledgeable!
You will have a good understanding of the key casino games!
Jenny_C, Feb 2025
Really fun and personalized! Learned how to play 3 table games and tips for betting. We sat at real tables which were closed for the lesson.
Phoebe_Y, Feb 2025
Definitely go to this lesson! Ron had a great relationship & insight with the workers and taught us in a downtown (Old Fremont) casino that had better odds and beginner classic versions of the table games -- so a better deal & most fair playing ground than the Strip. Ron explained how the math odds and casino rule-setting, betting protocols, and common table gestures all works in a straightforward and easy-to-understand way, especially important for a non-gambler that's going into a flashy lights and fast-paced casino floor with many things and shouting crowds going on! Love the mini history lesson of how casinos developed in the area and will refer back to the takeaway basic strategy cards for the games we learned. We did lots of practice rounds on each of the table games to get comfortable with the new rules and play/strategy patterns, and Ron explained some common variations & "side bets" very well -- very entertaining too. Best value for money & time spent in a casino, in my book!!

Ron was such a great guide! We had so much fun learning about all the games. I highly recommend this tour to get your game started and make the most of your vegas trip.
Jacob_P, Sep 2024
Talk about return on investment. If you pay attention you can really learn a lot and increase your odds of winning while in Vegas. Definitely recommend this for beginners.
Major_D, Jun 2024
Great family outing. Highly recommend if you want a quick lesson on to approach the game tables. Ron, our instructor, was great and very knowledgeable.
Jill_B, Jun 2024
We had a great lesson from Jordan. We've always been intimidated by the casino game tables and Jordan made us feel a lot more comfortable! We've been looking for something like this for a long time and were so glad to find it offered! Now we just need a lesson for the various forms of poker!
Jennifer_S, Mar 2024
Our guide, Ron, was awesome! We also got to meet two young ladies from Berlin who were in Vegas for a work conference. Ron made the lesson fun and easy to understand. We were most excited to learn craps because we wanted to play, but it seemed so intimidating. It is actually pretty easy! We got some pointers on blackjack, and also learned roulette. When the lesson was over we played blackjack with the ladies from our lesson for awhile, and after that we played craps and had a blast!! So glad we took the lesson and we definitely recommend it!
cherri_m, Feb 2024
Ron was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of the games. He took extra time to make sure we were comfortable with everything he taught us. He even stayed past the time we paid for to make us comfortable. We had never gambled before and he explained everything to us in a way we could understand. I highly recommend it to every novice out there.

So excited to find Best Bet Lessons for table games. As a gift 🎁 to my husband, I chose to learn a few table games. My hope was to have a general idea of these games so I can enjoy my time more with my man when we come to the tables. (usually he does his thing and I do mine 😢 )
Not only was I impressed with our passionate trainer Jordan, but others there who knew these games stated they too learned new ideas, strategies or perspectives. (things the casinos have the upper hand on) 🤫
We spent over 2 hours of instruction and play time.
Jordan Told All (wink) Not only how to play, There was history of the games, the casinos, plus what vantage point do you want to take based on the odds given. 😱
I now look more forward to playing table games with my love. Thank you Best Bets for offering this activity to increase my fun factor with my man💕
Mandy_L, Jan 2024
We had no idea how to gamble and I booked this experience as a birthday present for my friend. We really enjoyed the experience. Jordan was very friendly and knowledgeable. He also gave us a history of the casino which was very interesting. We now feel more confident to play craps, roulette and blackjack! Thanks Jordan!

Jordan was a fabulous host!! His enthusiasm for his hometown and especially “old Vegas” was contagious. We rarely visit casinos - only 2-3 times a year on average - but did have a basic understanding of how to play — BUT the little tricks of how to make better decisions based on the odds made so much sense after his tutorials. Loved his energy, his personality and personal attention. Highly recommend.

Mark was excellent, the experience started with some background to the starting point and then moved on to a great education in each of the 3 most popular table games.
It made for a great father's day gift and a great starting point to our family trip to Las Vegas.
JeffreyG_S, Mar 2023
Enjoyed Mark's tutorial very much... With all that experience, it was obvious he knew what he was talking about. I would recommend this experience to beginning gamblers. A++++
Diane_H, Jan 2023
We enjoyed the brief tour that included a little history of the area prior to our gaming lesson. Our guide was an excellent teacher and very personable. I actually learned how to play craps and picked up some tips for playing Black Jack! It's worth the time. This tour will bring you to Downtown Vegas and give you the opportunity to check out Fremont Street and Circa Resort and Casino. My husband and I thought it was a fun and casual experience.
Emily_W, Nov 2022
We learned so much from Mark and had tons of fun! We were excited to try our luck at the tables after our lesson.
Ayesha_H, Nov 2022
Fantastic time learning from master Mark! His knowledge , insight and interesting stories are greatly appreciated.
nathalie_p, Oct 2022
Wow, I learned so much about the games from the tour guide. He was so wonderful and now I can't wait to come back to Vegas and lose some money. Thank you!
Aaron_R, Aug 2022
I had a great time. Guide is a retired table dealer that is very knowledgeable and friendly. I learned a lot from him. He also spared a several minutes at the end where he answered specific questions I had about certain games and general questions about gaming. Well worth the time and money.
