Some of My Favorite Websites (in no particular order of importance)
I’m always asked where the best video poker games are found. The free VPFree2.com provides lists of where the most generous games can be found, players club details, and more.
One of the best places to find free and/or inexpensive things to do in Vegas is Vegas4Locals, with tons of information for frugal locals and visitors.
Check the American Casino Guide website on the first Sunday of every month to find the details of gambling promotions coming up in many Las Vegas casinos.
vpFREE is a valuable forum for video poker players where I pick up little gems of money-making and money-saving information. Subscribe at their new home: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/vpfree-archives
My first stop for the math of anything in a casino is WizardofOdds.com.
CasinoCityTimes posts interesting and informative articles about all categories of gambling and casinos, by many experts in the gaming-writing field.
Did you just hear one of those amazing stories that are passed around online? Before you send it to hundreds of your closest friends, check it out at Snopes.com, where you can find out whether it’s fact or urban legend.
I’ve saved the best for last. Yep, this blog lives on LasVegasAdvisor.com. But I wonder if you’ve explored the rest of this site where you’ll find so many interesting and helpful pages. There are several free features, including Las Vegas’ Top Ten Values and different archives that date back decades. Also, for a mere $3 a month (10 cents a day), you have the run of the best Las Vegas website in existence, with its popular features: Vegas News, Question of the Day, blog posts from experts and dining, entertainment, and gambling reviewers, listings on buffets, resort and parking fees, happy hours, and the like, plus the monthly Las Vegas Advisor newsletter, which keeps you up to date on everything that’s happening around the city. And of course, it has the store where all my books are for sale direct from the publisher, along with 100 other books on Vegas, gambling, the mob, and more. If you visit Vegas without first availing yourself of all thatLasVegasAdvisor.com has to offer, you’re in danger of being the kind of sucker that this town loves!
