These also lead to even better casino offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recently stayed at the Downtown Grand for eight nights, followed by four nights at the Rio, for a total hotel cost of $400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not hard to get comped at DG. I get two free nights a month as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, each has different values, depending on your tastes, goals, and preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Downtown Grand\u2019s MRB coupon is good for waiving the resort fees. This is very valuable, saving $40+ a night, especially for your first stay. You also get daily in-room coffee and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I prefer the Gallery Tower right over the casino. The room rate is a little higher, but access is key, at least to me. Everything is close: the free Parking, casino, restaurants, new food court at the Fremont across the street, and Fremont Street is one block away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to use your check-in coupon for up to $50 matchplay and your MRB matchplay. And with just $50 coin-in at video poker, you get 50% off on a great selection of entrees including breakfast, a great burger, and prime rib.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve stayed and played, call casino reservations. They might give you up to 50% off your resort fee and the max room discount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I cashed in on the Rio, with its no resort fee as well. The resort fee here is $56 a day, so this saved me $250. I stayed Monday-Friday for $107 total. No kidding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since I\u2019m old school, I like the Masquerade Tower with a bathtub. It\u2019s also less expensive than the new tower and self- parking is very close. No in-room coffee, but a fridge is comped. They also have room service, which tickled me. Great views, food hall, and pool too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the 9\/6 JoB by the Sports bar. Hop over to Gold Coast for good VP, low-limit table games, and Ping Pang Pong. Then use your 50% or 2-for-1 at the Palms Buffet, including the Wednesday and Thursday lobster nights (a $79.99 saving). And I hear the Wow show is spectacular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the Plaza. The MRB coupon is good, but the real deal at the Plaza is bingo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every month they have two-day $160,000 bingo that\u2019s $160 to enter and is good for two lunches four nights Sunday through Thursday for $40 a night! And that includes the resort fee. The North Tower rooms are nicer, but noisier, facing the Fremont Street Experience. The South Tower\u2019s are old-school with a tub, but quiet and very close to the free parking for guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plaza has $15 single-zero roulette, excellent VP, and lots of food options where you can also use MRB coupons, from pizza to steaks. Pink Box donuts and Hash House A Go Go are also on the premises. Plus, fire up the positive expectation video poker at the Sand Dollar lounge with great comedy on Wednesday. A.C. and others love the new <em>Mavericks <\/em>show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2025 MRB offers some enticing hotel discounts.
