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.
