5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Buy, January 5, 2009

By	Isackson "Reader/Gamer" (WA) - See all my reviews

For the last 5 years I've made a habit of traveling to Las Vegas a couple times a year. When it comes to travel for me it's all about getting the most bang for my buck. At first I was understandably a little reluctant to shell out the money for a book full of coupons to a place I was only going to spend a week of the year at however after researching the coupons found in the book (you can get a complete listing at [..] I decided that it would easily pay for itself.

Boy did it ever. If you like to casino hop like I do just the matchplays and the free play coupons make this a more then worthwhile purchase. This is in addition to all the great buy one get one free buffets and meals at varius casino restraunts (many of the places will even let you use them on their specials - I went to the Diner at the Golden Gate and they allowed me to use their buy one get one free on their prime rib special - 7 [..] for 2 prime rib dinners with the works... talk about a deal !)

Other features in the book such as basic overviews on different casino games, a pretty good map of casinos on the strip, near the strip, and downtown along with contact info for each casino and other details are also pretty helpful.

I've already ordered my copy for 09 and will continue to do so for each subsequent year that I take a trip to Vegas.

This is a great purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of great coupons, March 5, 2009

By	Chance (Woodburn Oregon) - See all my reviews

We purchased the book for the coupons and were not disappointed. It also gives some information on casino RV parking which we will use. All in all well worth the money. We even purchased a second book for our son and his wife.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great overall guide, February 18, 2009

By	Keith C. Torbet (Wauseon, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have purchaed this book for the last two years before going to vegas. It has some very good common sense tips and tricks for the newbies to Vegas. The real appeal of the book for me is the copons. YOu will save at least the cost of the book in coupons alone and that is if you only use one or two. YOu are there and you are going to do half the things that are in the book anyway, why not do them for less. I have never had any hassle or issue with using the coupons. They are enough of them being used that most clerks do not even take a second glance at them.
