Coupons

Every once in awhile when there's not much else to watch on TV, I'll watch the Travel Channel when they profile Las Vegas. I do see time given to the virtues of using coupons. When I looked to see what the coupons are for, it does not appear to me that coupons really offer a generous value--certainly not enough to make the casinos quake at their use. I'm just wondering if others explicitly use coupons regularly and also curious to find out what are the best offers out there. Just wondering. I thank you for your comments.

Couponomy...

Couponomy is a very big thing, with a large number of practicioners found in the LV area. Though its not nearly as profitable as it once was, even just last year, there is still a decent amount of money to be made and its the only way to go (onland) for someone with an extremely limited bankroll.

The main sources for casino coupons are the Las Vegas Advisor, Casino Player, Casino Perks, The American Casino Guide, and the funbooks found at many gaming properties, but there are coupons to be found EVERYwhere in LV. Hardcore couponeros are also known to utilize trading rings where the value of a single coupon book can be maximized by exchanges between one another.

Many of the coups are indeed free money, but that does not mean they are easy money. Some coupons are restricted to a one per day limit, some once a month, some once a lifetime. Judicial timing of your play to coincide with different pit shifts is one way to maximize potential, but you can see how this can be a hassle. You need to be able to play at all different times, as well as capable of getting to and from the many different properties scattered throughout the city as well as those on the outskirts of town. Transportation is obviously mandatory to realize the full potential of couponomy. Its also easy to see how any kind of longevity is not really practical.

Despite the drawbacks, it is still the onland option of choice for those who, for one reason or another, are on a shoestring bankroll and don't consider the "w" word an option. Even without transportation, I believe its very reasonable to expect to make at least $200/week, and perhaps as much as $500/week with transportation if the player wasn't at all concerned with overexposure.

Re: Couponomy...

Other than LV Advisor and the sites that sell coupon books, are there sources online or off that list the good word on free coupons? I found, for instance, a $5 matchplay coupon for the Frontier online, but google searches didn't pull up much else that was helpful.

p.s. I was playing TX holdum w/ friends last night and couldn't resist trying to double down the 4-7 I was dealt. Too much blackjack.

Welcome Big Cowboy

Like that 10 gallon hat ther pardner! grin Coupies can give you a decent edge over the onland casino, but nothing near what the online "coupons" can give you. This is why Adam N Subtractum specifically mentioned "onland." I have the biggest online blackjack team that is specifically devoted to playing pure coupons, or bonuses as they are called online. There is no travel required, just a few minutes to download a casino then travel by mouse to the next site. Many of my team members started off with a small deposit of $100, got that all back on their credit card, and rolled that initial win into the thousands in a period of months all on spare time from home. To top that all off, anyone that uses the coupons that I give them will get 50% of the $$ the casino gives me for sending them a new player. You can play at any casino, but I make it worth our while to play together as a team. We are making blackjack history.
