I believe that I have mentioned before on this blog that one of our favorite ways to pick up some extra money and/or comps is by participating in casino check-cashing promotions. Although many local casinos have these, our favorite for many years has been the one at the Palms. We have each regularly cashed 3 or 4 checks a month and scored a variety of benefits: free play from $10-$50; food comps from free buffets to $25 for various restaurants ; $50 spa or salon credit; and occasionally instant cash, from $100 to a couple recent surprises of $1,000 and the top prize of $10,000!

I will be taking a blog break for a week or so while Brad and I spend the holidays with the Frugal Princess family in Columbus, GA. And, as usual, we will drive to Harrah’s New Orleans for a few days stay so that a tough ex-Ranger and a couple strapping grandkids and perhaps some of their teenage friends can help us eat up hundreds of dollars of Seven Star food comps.
And I wish all of you peace and joy this holiday season, whatever holiday you like, or don’t like, to celebrate. And may 2011 be a very good year for you, in every way!
To answer a couple of questions in some recent Comments: We have gambled some in Primm and Mesquite, but not for a number of years. Never in Pahrump. Continue reading
My second out-of-town trip report this week – an unusually busy travel month for us!
This trip to Laughlin, however, not like the 4-day visit to Reno via jet, was a short overnight visit via the Frugal Plum, our trusty little PT Cruiser. Continue reading
We just got home from a trip to Reno, where we stayed at one of our favorite casinos, the Atlantis. They may have the best variety of good video poker anywhere in the country. Continue reading
