American Casino Guide - 2010 Edition

This is my 4th time buying this book. It is great the first time you get it because most of the deals are for people who have not been to the casinos before, but if you already have a players card you cant use most of the coupons.

saved us some money

i buy it solely for vegas. between the freeplay and matchplay, youll get your moneys worth whether youre staying on the strip, off-strip or downtown. you dont need to run around to mom and pop casinos to make it pay off (but they make it worth your time if you choose to). kinda disappointing the gold spike didnt renew their $7 room offer from the 2010 book but its hardly a dealbreaker. if youre going to vegas for more than 1 day, buy a copy for each person going.

The coupons for free play get worse every year but its still worth it. I won $1200 off the free play coupons last year and $85 this year. Which still makes it a good investment. Plus it is very informative and a good reference to use if you like to gamble.

There is nothing in the book that you cant find pretty much on-line. However, the satistical information relating to payouts, I found somewhat informative. Keep in mind, going to a casino is for entertainment, not a source of income. Anyone who gambles on the assumption they are going to win a guaranteed jackpot, will be sadly disappointed.

I mostly bought this for the coupons which I will put to good use on my upcoming trip to Vegas. Roughly $200 in match play coupons for the strip and downtown casinos. With some good luck the book will pay for itself quickly! Also some great food and drink coupons for Vegas casinos. Ive heard some reviews that mention some casinos not accepting the coupons, so I will update my review once Ive tried using them. The only complaint I have is that the coupons arent perforated. It took me nearly an hour to cut them all out.

I bought this for my trip to vegas, I only ended up using one coupon. I would not buy it again because I can do better on myvegas and get better deals. JP

I can not imagine ANYONE going on vacation to Vegas, and not having this book tucked into their carry-on luggage!! Plenty of info to read on the plane about each casino, including what times the Bellagio Fountains go off, the Mirage volcano, etc, etc. Information in the book about how to play different types of table and casino games (Keno, craps, etc). The coupons alone make this book invaluable. My favorite? - The two-for-one coupon at the Silverton Casino (Blue Diamond Rd and I-15 in Las Vegas). Friday night is their fantastic seafood buffet. Normal cost for the buffet is $20 per person...use this two-fer coupon, and you have saved the cost of this book and MADE a few dollars. You cant go wrong with this book - I love it and buy it every year!!

The coupons arent as good as they used to be, but theyre still good. If you have a rigid itinerary in Las Vegas, it will be hard to use many coupons. But if you have free time and a rental car you can try some new places with a 2-for-1 buffet or a $10 free bet coupon. The main purpose of buying the book, to this reviewer, is its INFORMATION. It tells you where the buffets are and what they cost, which places charge for parking and how much, and basic but solid information about how to gamble wisely.

We recently purchased two of these books for a recent Vegas trip. The coupons alone paid for the books. $25 free slots play at the Venetian was one of the better coupons.We also used quite a few others. The other info in the book is rather generic and can be found elsewhere including the internet,but handy to have in one place while you travel.
