With the rising prices of lodging, dining and entertainment on the Strip, Las Vegas can be an expensive place to visit. Thankfully, there are some freebies to be found in this gambling mecca if you know where to look. These can come in the form of complimentaries, or comps, from the casino for your time at the slots and the tables or special 2-for-1 offers and other discounts found in local publications.
Sign up for a card at each casino's players club. In addition to receiving a players club card, you often will receive sign-up bonuses at some casinos. Many offer free slot play for new members while others give free buffets. You may also receive special offers in the mail after you return home that can be used on a future visit.
Use your players club card. This card allows the casino to track your play and you can earn comps such as free meals or hotel rooms if you wager enough. When you play a slot, be sure to insert your card into the card reader to earn points. When you play table games, give your players club card to the dealer. The dealer will give the card to the pit boss and she will track your play.
Search for special offers online. Many hotels offer resort credits for such things as meals and entertainment. You can often get these freebies by booking a multiple night stay. Check the websites of your favorite Las Vegas casino resorts.
Look in the local publications. Entertainment magazines with listings for the various amenities around Las Vegas can be found in many hotel lobbies, and most of them contain coupons for those services. The most common magazines include Where, What's On and Today.
