You do have a birthday, right? And an ID? (No AIs need apply.)
Plan wisely and you’ll get several complete days of free fun, free play, three meals every day, and more drinks, desserts, and coffee than you can shake a chocolate-dipped stick at. The best deals give you a week, two weeks, and even a month to cash in, so get ready to run around your whole birthday month collecting freebies. Damn. Tough job, eh?
Be sure to sign up for every e-club online in advance. You almost always need to be a member to qualify for the birthday freebies and discounts. Even if it takes a few hours, there’s nothing like walking into all these places, getting your birthday specials, and walking out with no money changing hands. And there are enough free play ($85 to $1,500) deals, plus and several hundred dollars in free food, to pay for your LVA subscription 10 times over. How cool is that?
As for technique, one word: stacking. Use more than one coupon where they’re available. Some places (Excalibur?!) have five deals. Fashion Show Mall has four. Many have three meals a day. Stack a great view (Eiffel Tower) and a great meal with another great view (Bellagio Fountains).
Consider doing a Fremont run by stacking your LVA MRB matchplay and free play offers and go crazy. Free food and double free play — all day long!
I’m abbreviating free play with FP.
No, it’s not worth going to Morton’s and spending a Franklin or two to get a free dessert. But walk in to Cheesecake Factory and leave with a free slice? Yes.
I’m space limited in this blog, but you can go to BobbyVegas.com for an even more complete and detailed list and several dozen more places. Also, these freebies can change at any time, so definitely check online or call ahead to be sure the promo is still active.

The problem with these kind of lists is the assumptions that the writer makes. They typically only check to see if a given restaurant exists in Las Vegas and assume the deal is good there. That is not always the case. For one, Steak and Shake at Southpoint has a large sign that it does not participate in Steak and Shake rewards, and so likely has no free shake on your birthday. Likely this is not the only exception.
Elsewhere, the Dunkin’ Donuts deal information is way out of date. Even the name the writer cites, Dunkin’ Donuts is incorrect. It has been known as Dunkin’ since Jan 2019! Dunkin’ removed the Birthday reward that is mentioned in this article, for all locations, in Fall 2022, over two years ago!
My bad AKQJ10.
You are right I have not double checked every single Vegas option and do encourage folks to call ahead or confirm online if possible.
I did sort this by area and specific location.
Also the key sign up bonuses are accurate.
As for still referring to Dunkin as Dunkin’ Donuts guess I’m slow.
This is still an awesome list with lots of fun, food and free play.
Enjoy !
Most of the fast food birthday offers which are just coupons on the app don’t check ID. I generally stagger my “birthdays” on apps so that they aren’t the same day, although they are the same month.
