Coupon books
Never pay money for a coupon book that is sold. Practically all are a profit-making venture for the seller. There are plenty of free coupon or "fun books" available all over Las Vegas. Some require being a registered hotel guest or joining a slot club at no cost. Hint: Make it a practice to ask for a free coupon book at a hotel’s promotions or Player's Club" booth.
Unless you know the box office price of the "hard to get" show tickets or that a free coupon offer does not exist, we also do not recommend that you purchase Las Vegas show tickets on Ebay. Most of the coupons listed there can be found on the Web and printed out at no cost. And many of the individual "hot" hard-to-get show tickets listed are from ticket vendors who price the tickets at a huge markup over actual cost. But Ebay is worth a look since once in a while we have seen offers of below box office cost on some very desirable shows. These are usually "comped" tickets that the person does not use. Another Hint: Check out the coupons in the Las Vegas telephone book Yellow pages. There are many there! "What's On in Las Vegas" is a valuable (free) twice a month magazine that lists Las Vegas shows, sightseeing tours, restaurants, shopping malls, and other recreation and entertainment activities. (Tel. (702-891-8811.) It is usually distributed at no cost in your hotel room. Inside you will finds all sorts of specials and coupon savings. If there is not one in your hotel room, ask your hotel's concierge ...or at the bell captain's or front desk for a copy.
