I enjoy an occasional walk through the casinos but I won't play against their odds. If the "house" always has the edge on odds I'm not playing their game. But while there I like watching high rollers play baccarat where a single pot is like a couple years income for me. Strangely enough, when somebody tells me they're going to Vegas, I usually give them $10 to play on #30 on the roulette wheel.
As for playing, I really like poker games with a bunch of cardplayer friends. We don't play for a lot, usually a couple or few hundred bucks and at this level I win more than loose. All sorts of games are allowed, dealer calls the game, nothing too crazy, but any of the five or seven card studs and variations on straight poker are typical. Years ago I also bet on horse racing, but my interest waned since I didn't get into the details enough so it was almost like pot luck.
