No question, please indulge a few comments:
I've been a subscriber since about 1991. For the first time, I thought about not subscribing this year.
I've subscribed to LVA because I enjoy reading and learning about Vegas. However, the internet is now providing so much of my information. There was always Zagats, but now I'm using Yelp, TripAdvisor, and VPFree a lot.
The other change is in my travel habits. Vegas used to be a very inexpensive, quick weekend trip. But from my home, airfares went from $70 round trip to about $300 roundtrip in the last decade or so. Now, I'm starting to focus on other destinations.
I went ahead and subscribed while I was in town, and got the coupon book.
A few years ago, I did a couple of coupon runs, using the LVA book along with the American Casino Guide. But the loss of the some of the coupons made that less desirable. Plus, I didn't seem to win all that much for all the running around we did.
Now, I'm pretty much using just the coupons when I'm already at the casino. I used $30 of LVA coupons at casinos I play at anyway. Then, while I was waiting for a friend downtown, I went and used two more and earned $20 in cash-out. I then also used one 50% off coupon for solo dining. I'm happy I renewed. I've already saved this year's subscription. I'll re-up again next year. Even if I use the few coupons at the casinos where I play anyway (like Orleans), it makes the newsletter almost free.
One more thing: two recommendations for local places:
the first is some really good gelato at "Art of Flavors", Las Vegas Blvd, a couple of blocks north of Stratosphere. Excellent gelato.
Second, a store that's doing a pretty good job getting publicity: Popcorn Girl. Friends and I often stop in twice during a Vegas trip. Some great flavors.
Thank you all, TB
