New Reader Poll Preview: How to be frugal in Las Vegas

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

What is in the 2015 coupon book and when will it be shipped out?

Now that Aliante has changed hands, are they still accepting the Advisor coupons?

Is there still a downtown Mob Museum coupon forthcoming? I thought one was due out this week. I'll be in Vegas next week and would like to use it. Thanks.

With regard to the Nathan Burton ticket available on couponsinvegas.com, I've tried to use a similar ticket several times in the past and I've never been successful. They are always out of the free seats when I have shown up at the box office. Do you have any idea how many free seats are available in each show for coupon users?

I read in the Las Vegas Advisor newsletter that there are no coupons for accommodations. In 2010, there were 13 hotel-stay coupons with 12 2-for-1s and one for a $7.77 rate. What gives? I've been a member for several years and never before seen zero.

Concerning coupons, it seems all the coupons offered in Las Vegas are "2-for-1." How about the single people? Are there any "half-off" coupons for us singles?

Question One: Do you know if anyone has ever used every coupon in the POV during the course of a year? I think it would be an interesting challenge. Question Two: Just got back from a week in Vegas and I used a lot of the coupons from the coupon book. I was surprised that most of the buffet people knew how to use the coupon right away, but some of the non-buffet dining coupons seemed to be first- time experiences for most of the sales clerks. I had to translate the Nathan's coupon into Spanish and the person still did not grasp the concept of "50% off one." My question is, do you keep track of how many times the various coupons are redeemed?

Your Pocketbook of Values has a very lucrative Palms coupon worth up to $50. Can the 50% discount be applied to the total amount of dinner buffet patrons (4 in my family = $68) or is it only good for the first patron ($17)?
