can i get free coupons from online?
or can i get it in las vegas?
if you know any free coupon's web site, please tell me.
try Vegas.com,
the 24/7 entertainment books that are found in most cabs.
What's On that you can get at almost any bell desk.
Most of these are 2 for 1 type specials, you can also join individual casino clubs a lot of them give you a coupon booklet that has discounts and freebies.
Good Luck!
What are the things that work to your detriment?
Does it matter if you end your weekend with winnings or a loss?
If you only play conservatively/the pass line with odds, are you worth a free hotel nights to the casino?
What other tips are out there?
When you sit down at a table and give the dealer your card they will call the pit boss. The pit boss will record how much you buy in for and how much you bet. So if you wanted to buy in for $100 give the dealer $200 and don't use $100 of it. Next when you are making you first few bets the pitt boss will likely be watching you to see how big you bet. Make your first bet or two big, after the pit boss leaves he will likely not pay much attention so you can drop your bet down to where you like. You get comped on your bet size and how long you play for. Do all your gambling at the place your staying.
When buying meals and things always charge to your room. You will not be reimbursed for cash you spend but you can get comped some or everything charged to your room.
My last two trips were totally comped and still have more "comp dollars" to stay for another trip.
Phone the front desk when getting close to check out time and ask to speak with a casino host they can tell you where you stand in comps. If you don't ask they will not volunteer your comps when checking out so stay informed.
We are new to Vegas and gambling. We have only been there once to get married (didn't do much gambling that time - only slots and video poker) and didn't know things like signing up for "player's cards", etc. We are going back in March and I recently purchased a coupon book. My question is what does "$5 matchplay" mean? (I am assuming they match your bet or something?) Also what is "2x points", or "free ace"? Anywhere where I can learn what all these terms mean? How do you go about using these perks? Thanks!
Joseph…get a life. Anyhoo, I bought this:
http://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/whyjoin-pocketbookofvalueslist.cfm
It has a lot of coupons that are good until the end of 2007, I just don't understand 1/2 of them!
Wow Jack…you are amazingly helpful. I already made reservations at Main Street Station a few months back (they are now booked for the week we are going - spring break!) Do you think they will still honor the coupon? Thanks
Welcome fellow LVA'er. You're going to love the POV…
Lets start with the hotel coupons. With some of them you have to find out what the hotels room rate is for the days you're interested in, you pay that rate for one night the next night is free. Some of the hotels have set rate(listed on coupon) for the first night, then the second night is free. Sam's Town and the LV Hilton just offer a flat rate per night(Sunday/Thursday). A really good deal is the one from Main Street Staion they offer first night at the casino rate of $35 second night free, you might check on this if you're interested in more nights, in the past MSS has allowed you to book more nights at the casino rate of $35 or $50 Friday/Saturday.
The Buffet coupons are a pretty straight up deal of buy one get one free. One of the best is the Fremont>Seafood Buffet Tue/Fri/Sun those were the nights, check to make sure they have not changed. MSS has a very good buffet, Orleans is a good one…
The dining coupons - each has its own rules so read them - you gotta try that free, Slots A Fun hotdog LOL it's HUGE.
Drinks - same as dining, read the rules.
shows - The Mac King coupon is a good one, but if you don't already have a Harrah's "total reward" slot club card they will give you 2 free tickets just for signing up(only have one of you sign up) that way next year you can do the same with the other(first time sign up). Mac King is a great show, the best afternoon show in LV by a mile. American Superstars at the Stratosphere is a good one. If you want an old time Vegas type show go and see Jubilee or Folies Bergere.
Clubs - Studio 54 and Tangerine are more upscale, wear your chaps if you go to Gilley's, last time I was there they had a bull ride haha..
Rides - the Stratosphere and Eiffel tower both have increcible views. Manhattan Express is worth doing one time I guess, to say you did it, same for Speed. Madame Tussauds is really pretty cool compared to other wax museums I have been to.
The Gaming/Gambling coupons
these are the heart of the POV IMHO
on the "match play" coupons you have the idea, yes, on a $5 match play you bet $5 along with the coupon if you win the casino pays you $10. same if it's a $10 coupon, bet $10 if you win they pay you $20. There are 2 $25 coupons in this years book. Win or Lose the match play coupon is good for one play only.> The best is the "Free play" coupons, tough to beat free money - The only one that is a pain is the one at Binion's they make you wait a couple of days before they add it to your account, but, if you're only going to be in LV a couple of days, use do it anyway the $10 will still be there when you come back for your next visit. I stay in LV for 2 weeks at a time so it's no big deal for me, I stop by the first day, then play the $10 later(cashed out $68 on a multi line .05 JW machine in December) . The one at the Hard Rock is great, sign up at the slot club, they give you a special card to insert in the machine. I only ended up with $5 on this one(oh well) I played for quite a while. The one at the El Cortez is a new one, what the heck, eat at Robert's Steak House($25 coupon) and use the $10 free play.
The way the free ace works is, Blackjack>the coupon acts as your first card and that card is an ace, this gives the player a huge advantage.
The 2X - 3X - 5X slot club points - take the coupon to the slot club booth when you sign up - for that 24 hour period the number of points that you earn - they will multiply by 2/3/5 times - keep in mind that a 24 hour period for the casino is midnight to midnight.
On the Sahara $50 for $40 deal, they give you $50 in chips for a $40 buy in, the thing is you must lose those chips. Sounds odd but it is a pretty good deal. I usually play roulette when I do this one and bet the first 2 colums and red.. NO, it's not as good a play as playing blackjack(perfect strategy) but it's kind of fun and I have been lucky and come out of the deal with the $50, $105 once, I have only used this one maybe 3-4 times. How it works is they give you 10 of these special $5 chips, when you lose the dealer takes them, when you win they pay you with the usual red $5 chips.
Funbooks - Turn these coupons in at the Slot club. The Stratosphere funbook is a good one, in the past it has contained match play coupons, and 2-4-1 coupon for American Superstars.
I almost forgot the best one: Make sure you take advantage of the Palms $50 coupon, this one is too good to pass on. Coupon #100
Later: I would call back and ask, IMHO, they probably will, but there is no way to know without asking. Also, if you're a player MSS is the best about comps, I have never paid for a meal there. Ask one of the slot club hosts, Gloria or Brenda or anyone of the "boothlings" LOL, they are incredible helpful…Same goes for when you go to check out, based on your play they may comp your stay. Just to let you know I play 5-6K per day through a .25c VP machine. They don't care if you win or lose it's how much you cycle through the machine.
I just talked with MSS reservations and they said that yes they would honor the coupon , if your stay falls Sunday through Thursday, The promo code given on the back of the coupon is wrong, it should read MLVA07 not MLVA06 .
At MSS you get a scratch off card when you hit a 4OAK or better, it's usually not much $2/$3/$5 but once a year or so someone hits $5,000 , what the heck it's fun.
Thank you for the feedback, it's nice to know when you make someones day.
Some "comp" basics
1-know what games to play
2-know how to play them
3-know how to manage your bankroll
4-play where you're appreciated
5-DON'T CHASE COMPS!! > play within yourself

I’m not big on gambling, but I want to see as much as I can while I’m out there. Or if anyone has any good touring sites, please share.
lol ok i did this just a few weeks ago lol. heres what to do thats not gambling:
- sign up for a tour of the grand canyon
- buy some tickets to the cirque de soleil shows like love or o
- go to all the major hotels and just walk around; each hotel has its own theme and has a ton of interesting things to look at for sightseeing like Caesar’s Palace is all ancient roman like and such
- shopping, there are 2 major malls in las vegas, an outdoor premium mall and an indoor one. both have tons of stores to choose from with brand names and are all cheaper than anywhere else i have ever gone
- take pics while u do all this theres lots of stuff to pose with and make some memorable snapshots
- the madame toussaud (dunno if i spelled it right) wax figures museum. lots of lifelike wax figures there
- just walk around the streets, thers other stuff to look at
What are the best deals in Vegas - hotels, shows, tours, and buffet. Want to come their end of March for my birthday, don't gamble just want enjoy the sites and food. Need advice!
We enjoy going towards the end of March. If you go too early you hit NASCAR and it gets pricey. The weather is mild normally in the 60's low 70's. It gets cool at night so bring a jacket. If you haven't gone to Vegas before I'd suggest going through a Travel Agent, they can give you some great ideas. Have Fun!
My friend and I are going to Vegas next month and we could use information on how to get passes to night clubs because we aren't feeling the long lines, and coupons for games, food, and shopping. I have been looking on-line all day and I haven't found what I was looking for and my eyes are tired now so someone anyone with information please help.
Peace & Blessings
I am not so sure about passes to night clubs but I found a guide that saved me at least $150 on my last trip. It wasn't free but more than worth the $9 price tag from Amazon. http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/casino-guide.html . It had tons of tips for Vegas and over 140 pages of coupons.
You should also know that there are lots of coupon books in Vegas. There are many magazines you can pick up on the streets, in your hotel lobby and your room. A few of the popular one are "Vegas Today" or "What's On". These magazines also have coupons. Most hotels also prints their own coupon books called fun books. Just ask for one when you check in. http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/fun-book.html

Besides gambling a lot and getting comps ofcourse.
what i mean by comps is what they give you for gambling in there casino.
Look for fun books! Sign up for as many players clubs as you can, most give you a discount coupon book (aka fun book) also try the Las Vegas visitors center at the airport or at state line.
Also the crapier the casino is the more deals they'll have.

Where can I get Las Vegas coupons for free? I don't mind printing them off my computer. I just don't want to have to pay for them.
There's someone on eBay selling coupon books that are available in Vegas for free. I just want to know how I can get a hold of one of them. Thank you.
There are lots of free coupon books in Vegas. Each hotel also has a fun book that they give their guests. There will be one in your room when you arrive or you can ask for one at the desk. http://www.lasvegas-how-to.com/fun-book.html
