If you are asking because you are too young to gamble, then forget it. I went to Vegas for my friend's 21st birthday, and I found out that they take underage gambling VERY seriously. You can't do ANYTHING in Vegas if you're underage. They NEVER forget to check IDs, and they are very well-trained to spot fake ones.

Actually, at one point, one of the girls who was with us couldn't find her ID, and she literally sat down on the sidewalk and started bawling, because she knew the fun was over if she didn't have an ID. Now, all of us were pretty intoxicated, so it's safe to say she was being overly-histrionic. But not by much. (Luckily for her, it turned out that her ID had just fallen into the folds of her purse, so, she didn't have to go home).

My advice is to just wait until you're 21. The trip will be so much more fun when you know you don't have to worry about being caught with a fake ID.

I guess you could try getting a fake ID. I had some pretty nice ones when I was under 21. But I bought all my fake IDs before September 11, 2001. I have a feeling that good fake IDs are a lot harder to get now, since a bunch of terrorists used them to board the planes they hijacked. And Vegas is so strict about underage gambling, that I really would not feel confident presenting them with a fake ID...not even my best one.

If you are asking because you are of legal age to gamble, but you just don't have an ID...well, check out the Related Question below. You could probably get away with gambling at Vegas without an ID, but if you should happen to win big, you will not be able to collect the money without an ID.

Of course, everyone knows that winning big in Vegas is the impossible dream...but do you really want to gamble, knowing that there is absolutely no chance of you ever coming home with a ton of cash? You basically know ahead of time that you're not going to win anything substantial, which kinda takes the fun out of gambling.
