Vegas tips, coupons, insider inof, secretes you know?

[kornholio788]

I am looking for them all. I am finding out that coupons are big. Already have a decent amount printed out. Free drinks, discounts, etc.

Any secretes anyone knows about? Tips? Where I can pick up good coupon books? What hotels give any type of gift, bet match, comps when signing up for their club card?

What should I know about certain hotels. Strips clubs. Where is you favorite place to gamble. Special bars. Swim up bars(I am for sure looking into this. Found a swim up black jack table that is free).

Let me here what ya got. I am open to any info I can get to make the best and biggest Vegas adventure I can possibly get and save where I can.

Where are you staying? Who are you going with and how many people? Guys and girls or just guys?

I'm not much of a coupon guy, but I know Vegas pretty well.

IMO if you want to have fun in Vegas, don't expect it to be cheap. The clubs and drinking in the clubs is very expensive. You can buy bottle service and a table at most clubs which IMO is worth it if you're with a group. Cause there is no "free" seats at clubs, and you can have a good night with a nice bottle of booze. Get your drink on early at lower end place's like O'Sheas and Casino Royale. Popular clubs are Prive (Planet Hollywood), Pure (Caesers), Tryst (Wynn).

Strip clubs I had a great time at Rick's Cabaret. Most people like Spearmint Rhino, everytime I've been there it's been packed and wasn't that much fun.

If you go Downtown, stay under the Canopy/Freemont Experience. Leave that and it's pretty shitty real quickly.

hard rock hotel... in the restaurant attached to the casino they have the steak&shrimp special for 7.77 but it's not on the menu you have to ask for it. :)

We are staying at the pink flamingo. My parents are covering my hotel and flight. I don't have alot of money to spend but it isn't like I only got 20 bucks. I am gunna be there 3 days so I figured 100 bucks a day plus an extra 100 or 200 for other stuff/on the last day we all pool 100 each together and put it in a 20 dollar slot and we will split the earnings.

It is gunna be me and some friends. but we won't always be together. But you figure 2 guys 3 girls. Plus my family if we are with them sometimes.

Flamingo is nice place for the money. Rooms were updated not that long ago, and great pool area. Not heavily stocked with talent like the bigger places but still nice. Plus easy access to the monorail. Plus it's dead center to the best part of the strip. You can walk easily to all the best places. O'shea's is right next door (technically part of Flamingo) and is a much younger crowd. Plus it has low limit tables. You probable won't find a $5 swim up blackjack table. They are usually $25 from what I've seen.

Drinking is very expensive. As is food for the most part.

Hard Rock is quite a way's off the strip. It's a taxi ride, but the women usually hanging out there is worth it.

I have no problem doign 10 dollar tables. I am pretty good at black jack. Not counting cards good. But I do watch the cards adn keep track of what has been down and try and count a little. So I do hold my own at the tables.

Thanks for the info.

Also found the American Casino Guide book for 2009 is available for like 20 bucks. Some REALLy nice coupons in there. Alot of match play coupons. Which is basically free money. So i will be picking up one of those and taking huge advantage of it. As they have a list of the coupons on some sites. And some match play coupons are 20 bucks and alot are 5 or 10. 1 or 2 match play wins and I just paid for the book for free.

[Karps TA]

Good luck with that. Just don't go thinking you are bringing ANY money home. Expect to leave it all there, and if you so happen to win something, bonus.

Remember about table limits though, playing $5 a hand BJ means you have to win 20 hands to make $100. That's real damn difficult. But winning 4 hands at $25 is alot easier.
Wanna win big, got play big.

Stay away from shit like 3 card and 4 card poker. You'll run thru money like nuts.

There's some $5 Top Dollar machines in Ceasers palace I always play and have always won on. January I hit one for $5000.

[kornholio788]

Oh I know. I don't plan on bring any money I can't afford to bring. I have been to potto before so I know how it goes lol.

I stayed at the Flamingo last month. It's right next to O'sheas, which definately has some good deals on drinks! When I was there, they had coupon books in the room, along with getting some on the bus from the airport to the hotel. Inside Imperial Palace there is a car museum. Go check that out for sure, they have some pretty cool cars. Go to the indoor go kart track, 45mph go karts FTW!

If you go Downtown, stay under the Canopy/Freemont Experience. Leave that and it's pretty shitty real quickly.

i'd say go downtown no matter once at least for one night. Fremont street is a GREAT time, with the bands, and the roof show, and there are drink vendors with all kinds of specials. we drank 2.00 coronas or budweisers all night.

dunno where you get that from, 3 card is a very easy game.... i took home 2000 from vegas in 3 card.

Just eat at In & Out Burger and you should be golden!!!

3 card poker is one of the worst games to play. You'll go broke trying to repeat that ONE time you won. Everyone wins one time and thinks they'll be able to do it again, and nearly never do. Ask any dealer the house LOVES people who play 3 card. You stick out a bunch of money and the game goes by nice and quick. It's like a slot machine on a table.

IMO downtown is neat to see once. But I'd never go down there other then to see it one night. I think it's a shit hole, and it's one of the more dangerous spots in Vegas. Again outside of the canopy. Underneath life is good. Well cept the casino's are all shitholes. But the limits are low, and you can even still play slots that use coins.

[theavenger333]

all i play is 3 card, and some blackjack. here and in vegas, and i'm definatly ahead in the long run. and i agree, i wouldn't stray around downtown, but Fremont is awesome

Just north of oshea's there's a mcdonalds where you have to ride up the escalator to get there. They DO have the 1.00 menu there. I went there like 4 or 5 times when I was out there last cause it's sooooooo cheap in comparison. ;)

I know it's mcd's... but still it saves more money to gamble with :devil

FTR the place is called MR Lucky's 24/7. Steak, shrimp, mash taters, and a salad for 7.77 :D

Also look out for the free shuttles to other casinos. you can get to rio from harrahs or paris for free.

If you don't mind going off the beaten path, visit Tenaya Creek. My sister lives about 3 minutes from there and their home brew is the best you'll ever have. They also have some pretty cool pool tournaments most nights.

[nismodave]

Forget the coupons.

Sign up for the slot cards at the casinos you gamble at. Good for all games.

Only "trick" I know, is when you check in, have a $20 with your CC and ID when you check in, and ask "Any chance for an upgrade for the room?"

It has got me a nicer room at times.

If you're staying at the Luxor and find that your room was not cleaned after a porn party just yell and cuss out a manager they will up grade you to a deluxe pyramid room with a sweet view. Have fun in Vegas, can't wait to go back.
