Using My LVA Coupons

Friday June 13, 2008
I am leaving next week for my first trip to Las Vegas this year. Usually by this time of the year I have already made several visits but with the high cost of airline tickets, I have cut back on the amount of traveling opting for visiting casinos closer to home.

As I was packing for the trip the first thing that went into my bag was my Pocketbook of Value coupons that I received as a subscriber to the Las Vegas Advisor newsletters. Each year the Las Vegas Advisor contacts the casinos and other merchants to secure deals and discount for their subscribers and they can be a real money saver for anyone going to Las Vegas. I have reviewed this newsletter before and I still think it is one of the best bargains around.

I have been a subscriber since 1995 and there has not been a single year when I did not recoup more than my subscription price by using just a few of the coupons in the book. My favorite coupons in the book are the match play coupons that allow for extra payouts on table games when you win a bet. However the two for one coupons for shows and dining can have an even greater value. Coupons are a great way for anyone to stretch their vacation budget and if you are planning to visit Las Vegas you should definitely check out a subscription to the Las Vegas Advisor.

LVA (Las Vegas Advisor) coupons are a good value. The on line membership cost is $37 dollars,which includes the pocketbook of values coupon book and access to the members only forums. Most of the 2 for 1 hotel room discounts, as well as some of the other values are Sunday through Thursday only. The match play coupons are good any time, but you generally must obtain a casino players club card before they can be used. This requires a few minutes to sign up. Some casinos offer good promotional incentives for new sign ups as well, so check for those. The membership will pay for itself if you use a few coupons.
Try out with their free 5 day trial membership if you want to check it out first.

For the first time in 10 years, I am NOT renewing my LVA membership. The LVA
coupon program was the primary reason for my membership, but because I will no longer be traveling to Las Vegas, I no longer feel the need to pay my $50.00 yearly dues. ( I had the advisor mailed as opposed to the online version)There are so many free Vegas information sights, I could not see paying for something I would not use.
When Las Vegas stops catering to the
Club and pool club, as well as the rich, they will realize the city became a hot spot because middle class america
could have fun there. Now with its 6/5 blackjack, tight slots, $250.00 shows & an individual meal running in excess of $100.00, you can keep it!!! Instead of going there 4x a year as I have, I will spend my money in the Indian casinos in
Florida.

Atta boy Bob, I don’t blame you and I agree with you 100%
I also have stopped going and now spend my time and money at the “Indian” Casinos nearby to me
It is cheaper and more convient as I have choice of about 9 or 10 casinos, all within a 3 hour drive or less

Thanks John, it is nice to know someone agrees with me, however unless others begin to boycott Las Vegas, they will not get the message that the average player is tired of being ripped off. Glad to see you have so many nearby options. I don’t have nearly that many options in Florida, however Biloxi is within driving distance and I can make
my gambling “contribution” there! Truth is I love Las Vegas, but I refuse
to let them take advantage of me….
