I highly recommend the coupon book.
I screwed up and missed the Golden Gate coupons. I was short on time but could've easily gone there. I suggest looking through all the gambling coupons very thoroughly and making up a route to hit them in order of best to lowest value. This advice is for the freemont st area. I had a busy schedule and would just pop in different places and then look at the coupon once there. Plan better if possible. I won $250 or more on match play and free play. My favorite was a short ride to Jackson's. Good food and real people. Tell Lisa hi and that she and the bar tender lady are super!
I didn't know that my 100 points got me the dinner but also a house free play of $20. Bar tender told me this! I lost $40 of $60played to get my 100 points on VP and the bar tender told me I had $20 more free. I hit quads, lol, for $125. The payscale on the machine sucks but that's not the whole purpose.
A friend was with me. We ate there 3 more times for a hella good deal at breakfast. It was a hoot to be locals for an hour or so through the week.
My steak would've been $14 I believe. I tipped Lisa $15 in stead. I tipped bar lady $10 if I recall. So, -40loss +125win -25 in tips+15 steak + $3 tip on steak. I clock the net at about $80!
Binions sucked. Crabby beesh wanted my license and refused to type in minimum info she needed. Said it was the rules and added that it is the law. Since that's a lie, I refused and left. I suggest Anthony set them straight or don't offer them a spot in n his book!
This book holds good value and LVA shouldn't feel like they have to beg for every coupon. The casinos should ask him for the privilege of being in the book!!!
Another casino told me even money only. I did the match play and hit a natural. Hehe. Got $50 for the coupon and $75 for my real chips. Guy was a jerk or maybe I would've tipped the dealer like I did at Jackson's. Instead she got $2 and his pit got no more play. My free drink was like an inconvenience to the bar tender. Just kind of a bad vibe. I think this was Downtown Grand. They need to know that they make a buck if the match play loses, they save a buck if it hits a natural and they spook off some bucks if they are dicky to the customer! The NY strip was good and half priced.
El Cortez was a throwback. Single deck 21 that I wasn't prepared for. Lost $80 at DD. I may have won on my Freeplay. Can't recall. But I think I lost quite a bit trying to win on the machine. It's a blur.
