i like gambling also, but you have to do it in moderation. Trust me on this. I know from experience. I used to want to be a professional CRAPS player. which is Impossible because the house always has an edge on you. I've donated so much money to casinos, it's really sick.
I now play poker occasionally and only because it's a game that you can actually compete with other players. But I feel you should try different things for your vacation. The action will always be there, so take your mind off the action , casinos, gambling, and focus on some other fun stuff. The casinos will always be there. good luck.

Ha! Tricky question. I would have put money on the GUY being the one who wanted to gamble and the girl complaining.
I think you MUST compromise if you value your relationship. So, it's not his scene, but he's been on vacation to LV and AC because you wanted to. So it's time you started keeping your end of the bargain in this partnership.
Unless of course you are badly suited for one another. Sometimes a very good basic level of social interaction and mutual physical attraction can mask the serious differences between people.
Maybe you will 'grow out of' your gambling. Or maybe you're just growing into it and discovering who you really are (or are destined to be!). It sounds like there's a maturity gap here (no offence intended to either of you).
Most of us meet the right kind of person at the wrong time at least once in our lives. Other times, you meet the right person for you at that time, but one or both people are still in the process of change and development and the relationship suffers.
Whatever it is for you, ask yourself what is more important to you, having fun or building your relationship. If it's fun, you're simply not ready to settle down (or not with the right person).
Good luck, and be sure to drop by the Church of Texas Holdem if you need more advice!

I myself live in Las Vegas and i deal and love to play poker all the time, but i never let it get in the way of my family and my responsibility's that i have to take care of. If you live in Vegas you have to stay away from the slots and the blackjack table, and that is no problem for me because i know that these games are tilted towards the house and over time you will lose your money. But poker has no house advantage and i manage to make some profit from games i play in , but i never get in over my head for the limit i play. You have to give and take in any relationship, so next time go where your partner wants to go, would it kill you to do something new for a change, and who know maybe you will like it.
