Some nicknames locals use for casinos:

Stratosphere: You can build the tallest structure on the West Coast, but you can't shake off the image of "Vagrant's World" (originally Bob Stupak's Vegas World).

Desert Inn (now the Wynn): D.I.
Treasure Island: T.I.
Tropicana: Trop
Binion's Horseshoe: The Shoe
California: The Cal
Union Plaza: The UP
Golden Nugget: The Nugget
Imperial Palace: The I.P.
MGM Grand: MGM

"Out, seven, line away, pay the don't and the last come" - What you don't wanna hear from the 'stickman' if you have a bet on the pass line - shooter sevened out and didn't make his point.

Dealer-speak:

tokes - tips
George - player who tips dealers
fleas - low-limit bettors
