Is this the year Stations comes back to the book?
How about Sams Town, Gold Coast and Orleans with the matchplays?
With visitor numbers down I bet more places will be lining up to lure in people. Could be a good year for coupons !

None of those places will return to the LVA fold. Boyd determined, and announced, some time ago that all that player value, bargains, deals, etc. nonsense was out the window. Given this green light, Stations followed suit--with an even more unequivocal statement.
The reason why the $5.99 burger was such a big deal is that it was the first bargain of any kind that Stations had offered since covid. And Boyd dug in with its policy that lower tier players earn NOTHING, which is certainly giving any potential new players the finger.
The days of deals and value are over for those two casino chains. For decades, they wanted to emulate CET, MGM, and all the Gougearama corporations. They're there now. They don't want to see us peasant scum clutching coupons in our sweaty fists.

Lewis is 100% correct. Neither of these casino entities cares about anyone who refuses to be gouged - all they care about and want are visitors who have more money than brains.
It was fun finding and getting those "deals". Now it feels like you're getting your pockets picked.
Boulder Station and Palace Station have 2.99 shrip cocktail 24/7 . Lots of value right now at Stations, but probably no coupons. I could see the Suncoast getting back in the LVA book. That place has been so dead while they are doing the remodel.

I used to love staying at the Suncoast , then Boyd decimated the Slot Club and I have not stayed there now for years. Occasionally I stop in to eat at DuParr's because I have points to use and the place is DEAD 7 days a week. I was Emerald and am now the worthless Ruby.
Something is going to give. They havent had a serious visitor crisis since 2009 (not including the COVID year). I guess we'll find out soon enough with the MRB.
Would Enjoy some new coupons.Not holding my breath.
I'd love to see a MSS buffet coupon again along with other Boyd and Stations coupons. I do appreciate all the downtown coupons in the LVA the last couple of years and hope those remain too. Jane in Indy

The downtown casinos seem to have a pretty good relationship with LVA. Downtown Grand in particular was pairing up hard with LVA to aggressively push deals and promos. Unfortunately, they woke up, shook their heads, and said "Wait a minute!!!" and killed all their good deals and destroyed their good games. Then they had their marketing director taken out and shot.
But I think that Circa, Plaza, 4Q, and El Cortez are very likely to continue LVA participation. I'd be very, very surprised, though, if anything better than this year's coupons was offered.
