Go to  his site for a rich source of his ideas for frugal gambling, accommodations, food, and entertainment.  He is a big fan of bus transportation to get around town and shares those money-saving experiences here.

Here are some of the Websites and Internet forums he and others use to keep up on the ever-changing casinos in a city that is constantly reinventing itself:

A number of LVA forums on various gambling subjects, some free and some for LVA subscribers only.

Another frugal resource, from The American Casino Guide:

Travelers looking for savings at U.S. casinos can now get the FREE American Casino Guide app that allows them to instantly download casino coupons directly to their iPhone or iPad. [Available for Android planned for the near future] The app was developed by the publishers of the American Casino Guide, which has been published annually for the past 24 years and is the #1 bestselling book in the U.S. on the subject of casino gambling and travel. A special new feature of the app is its “Instant Coupon” section which allows users to download coupons for FREE, or on a paid basis, for only 99 cents. However, as an introductory 90-day offer, all coupons can be downloaded for FREE, until October 31, 2015.

I recently got this message from Kaity who is taking a Travel Writing course (plus French) in Paris this summer.

“Hey Grandma! I’m having an awesome time in Paris so far! My travel writing teacher said something funny today that I thought I would share. We are only given an allowance of 3 exclamation points for the entire 5 weeks! So, I thought I’d get them all out now!!!!! Hehehe”

I guess some apples don’t fall far from the tree.

Here is her “final” for the Travel Writing course.  And below is the result of 3 years of college classes working on a major in Communication.
