Analysis
Just two votes shy of the 3,000 mark, thanks to everyone for another great response.
Seems like we've done our job well, with 1,824 (61%) of you being diehard discount fans, unafraid to use a coupon at any and every opportunity. As to those of you in the next-most popular category, namely single travelers fed up with the preponderance of 2-for-1 coupons, we have great news: The 2008 LVA members Pocketbook of Values is almost complete and we can confirm that nearly every buffet coupon next year will be good for 50% off, not just 2-for-1, as will some of the shows. Some remaining properties we're negotiating with are keen to offer that option, but technical issues are so far preventing them from accepting 50%-off coupons -- their computer systems just aren't set up to handle it. But most are and wherever possible, we've bagged 'em.
There are plenty of matchplays to keep the gamblers happy, the fantastic $50 Palms coupon lives on, and we've got a whole host of free stuff including nightclub entries, show tickets, and beer. We say it every year and we're going to say it again because it's true: This is already our best coupon package ever, and we're still adding to it.
To the 208 respondents who'd like to use coupons but don't know where to find them, we hope we've partially addressed your plight. You're already in the right place for finding some of the best coupons Las Vegas has to offer. There are also lots of other places to find coupons. Ask at the front desk when you check in to see if your hotel offers a coupon sheet or funbook. Check out the racks of free magazines/coupons you'll find in hotels, motels, and other outlets around town. The Las Vegas Review-Journal online version has some free coupons you can print out (click the Shopping icon on their home page) and the free Las Vegas Weekly always carries coupons for everything from exhibits like Titanic to strip club entry. You'll find it in racks in bars, gas stations, and restaurants around town. The information desks in the shopping malls often have coupon flyers, too. Plus, signing up for slot clubs where you play will often get you coupon offers in the mail -- remember to bring them with you on your next trip.
Finally, to the 8 of you who want more instant cell-phone deals didn't even count as enough for one percentage point, we think your numbers will grow and that this could well be the way of the future. We haven't yet fully developed lvago.com, the mobile version of our site, but it is high on our list of priorities and we've already had high level talks with one of the big casino players out here, who's very interested in pursuing this with us in the future. We think there's a lot of potential there.
