A reader asked about the best games to play at Caesars. My four-letter answer? NONE.
Wanna play 9/6 JOB? You can — for $25/$125.
At the Rio, just behind Caesars and across the freeway, its $.25. That’s a buck twenty-five max play. One percent the level at Caesars. Play while Rome burns? Or Samba at the Rio?
I’m a dancer. Guess where I play?
Our reader, let’s call him “Joe Player,” also wanted to know whether my Frugal Video Poker Strategy Guide ebook, combined with my “Best VP on the Strip” booklet, which I value together at $50, are worth my price of $19.88. (Pssst! Hey! Yeah, you. The coupon code is: advantage 10 at BobbyVegas.com.)
My answer? Place open palm to forehead. Slap repeatedly.
I’ve personally won over $3,500 with info gleaned from my worn-out hard copy of Jean Scott’s FVPSG. I actually used it so much, I had to buy bought a second copy before I ended up republishing it. Now it’s on my phone. Yours can be too, kids.
Gold doesn’t come close to the value of Jean’s guide. It’s worth 100 times the price.
Progressive breakevens at a glance? For ANY SCHEDULE? Where NOT to PLAY? It’s not just how much you MAKE, it’s how much you KEEP.
Now, Joe Player was 1150 tier credits away from Diamond and wanted to get to “waived resort fees” at Caesars. According to VPfree2, Caesars’ resort fee is $62.50.
Here, just take my wallet.
Over the bridge at Rio, use the AWESOME NRF (that’s NO RESORT FEE) coupon from LVA’s Member Rewards Book and get the RF waived for nothing.
BTW, Rio has a VERY nice pool, 9/6 JOB EVERYWHERE, Penn and Teller, KISS, and Star Wars Burlesque. (The Palms and Gold Coast across the street combined have nearly two dozen restaurants, all good. Also, there’s a Walgreen’s nearby for water, snacks, and meds — and the Strip is a short ride away; you can even walk it, if you dare.)
Back to playing for Diamond.
Joe Player had a 10x-points offer, which would make the Triple Double Bonus 99.68% or the 99.54% JOB $25/$125 games at Caesars positive expectation.
Again, at VPfree2 under the Players Club tab (which I always check; thank you, VPFree2 people; you’re the best!), you can check the points comp levels at any casino.
So, risk thousands to waive the resort fee or use a coupon for NRF? Conclusion? NO BRAINER.
Remember, people, “Play where you want to play and stay where you want to stay.”
PS. Go see the biopic Michael and if you don’t think Jafaar Jackson (Michael’s nephew) is incredible as MJ, I’ll give you a free ebook. Just save your ticket.

My step daughter says the same thing about the new Michael movie. She’s become a fan even though she’s only 23. She’s just discovering the best decade of music. I think there’s hope for her.
As for you Bobby–got your t-shirt and I’m ready to rock it on Fremont Street in the fall. Right now it’s 4 months in beautiful northern Wisconsin on Lake Superior where it may say it’s 75 degrees, but the wind is off the lake and the real feel is 52. It leads to the Ashland, WI promotional model–“Lowest skin cancer rates in the US!”
Hope we can meet up in Vegas in the fall Bobby–keep writing your gems.
Your kind words are a balm to my manic writing soul, Ken.
As for northern summers, like my father’s family in Vermont, summers are a gem even tho they go by fast.
And yes, the 70’s and 80’s music is the best. Glad “the kids” are catching on. Me? Besides seeing Michael 3 times (once on the Thursday of opening week, a week later to celebrate a big win and dance and third time last week a friend took me cause he knew I’d know everything about it. I did. He was blown away by Jafaar. Glad he paid as 2 senior tickets with soda and popcorn were … gulp … $64! Then I saw Earth Wind and Fire near the beach last week and went to a disco party Friday. Everyday news got you down? Go dancing.
Santana is next up.
