Las Vegas used to be the place to go for free drinks, cheap buffets, hotel rooms for $14.00 a night, and shows for next to nothing.

Thank god! we still get the free drinks, but you are going to pay for everything else.

Most regulars know the tricks and there are two basic ones. Using coupons and getting comps.

Getting comps costs money, and it can cost a lot of it. If you have lots of money to throw away and are willing to gamble and play the minimum that the casino requires then go for it. In any case if your are going to gamble get a club or players card from the casino. You won’t get anything like the high rollers get, but you will get free meals, maybe a buffet coupon and maybe even a free room or upgrade.

Otherwise you will probably want to do what I do and that’s to use coupons. Coupons for everything.

You can get a Las Vegas Coupon for almost anything, even a free Las Vegas show.

Need a Las Vegas buffet coupon? They are plentiful.

Need a Las Vegas slot machine coupon? You can get them too. Many are the 2 for 1 play type.

How about a Las Vegas tour or a tour of the Grand Canyon. Yes, You can get them too.

Las Vegas hotels and casinos offer these coupons to introduce you to what they have to offer. It is your decision to stay or leave, unlike general comps where you must stay and play to get anything.

Many Las Vegas Hotels and casinos even have coupon books with free chips you can actually gamble with. In these cases you must play the chips, you just can’t take them to the casino cashier and cash them out. However, you do keep all you win. Other types of coupons will allow you to play 2 for 1. Play a $10.00 chip and your bet becomes $20.00, don’t get much better than that!

For a free Las Vegas coupon or coupon book just type the words in your favorite search engine and you will come up with plenty of choices. Or, if you are willing to pay $10.00 or $15.00 for shipping and processing , you can get a coupon book with over $500.00 of casino play, meals, shows, drinks and lots of other great stuff. You can find plenty of coupons like these in your search engine The simple advantage is, how much is your time worth? Is it worth 15 bucks not to go running from casino to casino to dig up coupon books, or looking through all the various Las Vegas publications that carry coupons?

Also, it seems that when you pay for a coupon book, you get much more value. At the moment I am looking at a Fun Book purchased online for $15.00. Among the various coupons are 2 for 1 slot play, 2 for 1 buffets and show tickets, and lots of discounted activities. There is a coupon for the Sahara that will give you $200.00 value Fun Book, another $200.00 Fun Book from The Orleans casino, a free night at Terribles Hotel Casino, golf discounts etc., much too much to list here. The point! Is it worth $15.00? You decide.

Are these coupon books worth it? They are very worth it. Casinos and hotels will do just about anything to get you in the door in the hopes that you will spend more money. You will get fantastic discounts at reputable hotels and casinos, restaurants and many other businesses.

Can I get a free room also?
Well, almost free. Some coupons will offer a free 2 night 3 day stay at a 2-3 star Las Vegas Hotel. There are several “catches”. First, there is a about a $10.00 processing fee to cover processing & postage. Second, you have to pay the taxes on your own between $7-12 per night and you must make your reservation 60 days in advance. Another restriction would be some blackout dates near and on Holidays or conventions.

So let’s do the math. Assuming you can make a reservation 60 days in advance and be a little flexible with your dates, you will pay the $15.00 processing fee, 2 nights of taxes capped at $12.00 per night for a grand total of $39.00 for your complete 2-3 star hotel stay. Is that a bargain or what? Of course you don’t get to choose the hotel, you get what’s available for your time frame. Look at it as an adventure, I guarantee you that you are going to pay $100.00 per night plus at any decent hotel in Vegas, and I never have had to stay at a bad or low end hotel. To me, that’s a bargain!

Think of Las Vegas and you think of music, right? Elvis, Wayne Newton, Tom Jones. But where do you go when you want to see concerts by bands and artists who’ve hit the charts within the last twenty years?

The best place to see concerts in Vegas is without a doubt at the MGM Grand Garden arena, though the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay is a very close second. In fact, the House of Blues has a vociferous fan base that swears it’s much better than the Grand. The House of Blues features attractions that just aren’t going to make it to the Grand, at least not yet. MGM gets the big names like U2 and the Eagles, while the House of Blues gets the really interesting bands like the Dropkick Murphys. Either way, both venues have played a role in making Vegas a top destination for currently popular acts.

There’s only one thing in Las Vegas that’s louder than a rock concert and you really don’t even have to move your head as much. Some might consider it a strange relationship to marry Vegas and Nascar, but then who ever thought Vegas and punk rock would get married? The Las Vegas 400 has quickly settled in as one of the city’s top local sports events. Of course, it’s not called the Las Vegas 400 anymore, but why give a certain car company free advertising when you don’t have to. If watching cars go in a circle for three hours isn’t your idea of fun, then you can always check out the National Finals Rodeo. This 10-day event features all those things that make rodeos what they are: roping, broncin’ and clowns slipping on cowpies. Who wouldn’t prefer that to Nascar? Then again, Nascar features car wrecks at 150 mph.

Oddly enough, Las Vegas has no major professional sports team. Perhaps the Saints will eventually make the move if certain congressmen have their way and New Orleans isn’t rebuilt. Until then, Las Vegas is the name and hockey is the game. Whaaaattt? Las Vegas has a hockey team? Yes. But that’s not the really weird part. Las Vegas has a hockey team, the Wranglers, who play inget thisthe East Coast Hockey League. They’re not bad, either, making it into the playoffs in their first year in town.

But let’s face it, we all know that when it comes to sports in Las Vegas, there was, is and always will be just one show in town. The Running Rebels of UNLV. Sure, they haven’t been a bona fide contender since they had to start playing by the same rules as their opponents, but memories of past NCAA Tournament glory keep bringing the fans back.
