My last post was Part 1 to the coupon run. All the information in this post is as of late November.
There are more opportunities than I can cover in this post. Please read the expanded version on my website.
Again, I highly recommend www.VPFree2.com for finding the location of the best video poker at each casino.
I also strongly encourage you to run through your free play first. Play 9/6 Jacks or Better, cash out (EV $9.95/typical $9.75), then use that money to partially fund your matchplay.
Okay, here we go!
Plaza
Signup bonuses: $5-$50 free play, $10 matchplay
MRB coupons: $10 free play, $25 matchplay
The Plaza has good VP, single-zero roulette. and 3-2 BJ, a $10 slot tournament with a $750 first prize (Wed., Thurs., Fri. at 10 a.m., noon, and 2 and 4 p.m., up to 4 entries).
Golden Gate
MRB: $25 matchplay (and 2-1 on blackjacks)
Signup bonus
Circa
Circa is cool, but very loud, and the games aren’t great. If you haven’t, check out the amazing sports book and come back late to use the MRB coupon up at the Legacy Club.
Binion’s
The million-dollar display is back; get your free photo in front of the display, and a free spin for coupons at the door.
MRB: 2-for-1 at Binion’s Café or 25% off at Top of Binion’s Steakhouse
Golden Nugget
Though the GN is cool and has a great pool, the gambling is crummy (triple-zero roulette, for one). The signup bonus awards between $5 and $1,000 in free play.
Four Queens
Four stars: Gives Good Gamble
My second favorite downtown casino — cool, old school, great comps and cashback.
MRB: $10 free play and 2-for-1 at Magnolia’s coffee shop
Excellent video poker (100.17% DB, 9/6 JOB)

The good video poker is gone, but if you like coins, play the real coin-in machines in the front and the back room behind Siegels
