Gambling is a very addictive sin, and becareful because even when you win, you are only winning back part of the money that you lost at previous rounds.
There are so many other hobbies you can get into: Snowboarding, skiing, kart racing, theme parks, travelling and ect....
With all these other hobbies you get something for your money, with gambling you get nothing but depression after you loose your money.

there are a lot of guides out there that will tell you exactly how to play blackjack and what to expect.
in the u.s.
gambling isn't legal until you're 21 (sorry) - you used to be able to gamble at 18 in some states on indian reservations.
when you go into a casino, you want to look at the table minimum which is posted in a visible place.
it will tell you the minimum amount per bet.
if there is an open seat, you just sit down and put your money down the table to exchange it for casino chips.
you place your bet in the space and play.
as far as table etiquette, the dealer will tell you when you're doing something wrong.
it depends on how many decks you are playing with.
in single and double deck games, you would touch the cards (with one hand) and in multi-deck games (4, 6, 8 decks) you do not touch the cards.
they are dealt face up in front of you.
the best thing to do in order to learn the hand signals and house rules is just to go with someone who has played before.
it sounds complicated but it's actually routine and you will get used to it fast.

congrats and happy b'day.

With land based casinos, you can get chips by just throwing money onto the felt/table between hands or spins.
The dealer will change your cash into chips for you before continuing the game.
Normally you can walk away from the table with the casino chips and use them on other casino tables.
There are exceptions like in roulette, where each player gets a special color and these chips can only be used on that specific table.
If your holding colored chips you can ask the dealer to change them into normal chips before switching tables.
Don't be intimidated.
The casino staffs will generally be quite helpful and their trained to make the experience as fun as possible.

Gambling is real fun since it stimulates your senses but at same time it's dangerous because it's addictive so bear in mind that you're making this for fun only and that you're not really interested in beating the casino.
Blackjack is the fearest of games since the odds can even be 0 if you're a good player.
Use the basic strategy and handle your chips with intelligence.
Another thing is you should be careful with your decitions at the table since it affects the other players as well.
But if you're playing conciously and still others don't like your decition, do not care since it's your money.
Good luck!
