2012 MRB

I renewed this year. As a solo traveler it's hard to use BOGO coupons in Las Vegas. I really wish they would have pushed for 50% off buffets. I know there are numerous solo travelers. Oh well there are a few $10 slot play coupons to run around Vegas as usual and have fun playing.

Can anyone figure out the coin in for the Fitz $5-$100 Freeplay coupon?

If you click on the link for the coupon it explains it.

I have read the fine print. I just wanted to know how much coin in is needed for 50 points.

I agree the offerings are less and less desirable every year.

Most of these casino's have Facebook pages. Maybe we should all bombard their pages and tell them we want LVA coupons from them or we will boycott their casino's!

To be honest though I don't think you can entirely blame Anthony as he has explained before they make pitches to each casino. Sometimes they change marketing people or they change their minds.

For example:

One year they had M resort and they next year the casino was sold and the new people went back and forth before finally saying no.

I miss some of them from years past as well but you can't cry over spilled milk.

I have been a LVA subscriber since 1998 I think - I think the best book overall was in 2002 - it was a no brainer that you HAD to get the MRB (Pocketbook of Values back then) - the value then was at least 6 times what you paid for the book.

The book took its biggest hit a couple of years ago when all the matchplays were removed. (I know a couple are now back).

I can sort of understand the concerns about abusing the coupons and runining it for everyone so now the value is now just about double what you pay - and you have to casino hop like crazy and spend $$$ on transportation just to get that value.

I still buy the membership because you still get the value (about double the $37 investment) for all practical purposes. People in Vegas would probably get more value if they have a whole year to use the coupons compared to me who is just there 8 days.

Basically you get the $37 back in free slot play and the rest is a bonus but keep in mind that I also buy the American Casino Guide so in 8 days you can only go to so many buffets and so forth.

But THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF COUPONING ARE GONE. I remember going to Vegas armed with
1)The American Casino Guide
2)LVA Pocketbook of Values
3)Casino Perks
4)Casino Player Funbook

2002 I think

There were 5-600 in EV in gambling coupons alone for which you paid about $125 combined for all the books and subscriptions etc.

Now today there is another book, Southern Gaming, but the offers in my opinion are not worth the $29 though the magazine itself is superb, but somehow I get that for free anyway without paying the $29.

The $29 might be worth it if you were heading to Louisiana & Mississippi but not Vegas. I don't need a coupon to get a $29 room at Wild Wild West (lol).

Anyway, maybe someday it will get better again - and there is always poker (lol).

I just noticed that the posting said I joined in Jan 2002 - is that when the boards started because I remember using the 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998 Pocketbooks of Values

Go here.

$500 poker coin in= $5 freeplay for the Fitz coupon. I am guessing $250 Slots=$5 Freeplay

If that is the normal payout, the coupon would then double it, no? so $250 in slots would result in $10 Freeplay with the coupon.
