Myself, I was in Vegas in December (and gave away my unused coupons to a bartender at Downtown Grand). I won\u2019t return until the Super Bowl in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what about those of you coming between now and when the books arrive? Hang on, Uncle Bobby\u2019s gonna give you some ideas to keep you scuffling, munching high or low, whatever your taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First up are the good folks at American Casino Guide, who\u2019ve gotten their 2024 online coupons out, so you can snag them right now. They\u2019re a great complement (did someone say \u201cstacking\u201d?) to the MRB and my fave is the Downtown Grand matchplay!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.americancasinoguidebook.com\/2020-american-casino-guide-coupon-list.html\"><strong>Here\u2019s the ACG link<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ACG has 14 Vegas coupons, including a 2-for-1 burger at Binion\u2019s, 2-for-1 entree at Four Queens\u2019 Magnolia (I get two entrees and take the second for a snack), and a discount at the Mob Museum. (See if you can find the Speakeasy bar. Easey peasy.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also big money! Use Jean Scott\u2019s Southwest boarding-pass matchplay strategy at<br>Golden Gate and the D. \u201cMention Mike\u201d at Circa for another. They\u2019ll give you either a $50 coupon or two $25 matchplay chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At El Cortez, you can also get a matchplay; it\u2019s less money, but you get some slot free play and a free drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s five totaling over $200 with an EV of over $100. Nice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heck, there are so many sign-up opportunities on Fremont. Vegas virgins can do those now and when the MRB comes out and you\u2019re coming back in town (you are coming back to Vegas more than once this year, right?) you can do them too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there\u2019s the Plaza\u2019s slot tournaments every Wed., Thur., and Fri. and the Downtown Grand\u2019s Thur. VP and BJ tournaments. So many casinos, so little time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still looking for something to do? Wander over to the Arts District downtown and all the cool antique, clothes, and knickknack shops, brewpubs, and even the Gamblers Book Store. Or head past El Cortez to some cool bars like Container Park, Atomic Liquor, and the Pirate bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s even a great vinyl shop down Fremont. Yes, vinyl is cool again.
