| The days of the $4.99 buffet may be over but | | | | Next I would hop on over to the slot club booth. If |
| there are still ways to save a lot of money on meals | | | | you don't already have a slot card, be sure to sign up |
| during your next Vegas vacation. The easiest and | | | | for one. It's free! A lot of casinos offer some kind of |
| best way to start saving is using coupons! Vegas is a | | | | bonus for new members, whether it be free money |
| coupon wonderland and just about every casino has | | | | (in the form of free play), a funbook with coupons |
| coupons to give away. I sometimes look in the | | | | or some sort of souvenir like a t-shirt or key chain. |
| tourist magazines when I get there but the best | | | | Now you can always use your slot club while you |
| coupons are generally not found in those. Sure you | | | | gamble and earn points for food comps but that can |
| might find a $1 off here or a 10% discount there but | | | | be kind of risky and I don't advise that... unless you |
| overall you are not going to save too much. | | | | do a lot of gambling anyway. But losing $200 to earn |
| Instead, I suggest asking at the front desk when | | | | a free buffet is not fun! |
| you check in. See if they have a casino funbook. | | | | Most people don't want to or don't have time to |
| Many times they do have them but may only give | | | | search for coupons once they get to Vegas. An |

| carefully through the little folder they give you with | | | | You can usually find them real cheap at online |
| your key in them. Sometimes they stuff those with | | | | auctions and these sellers have already done the leg |
| coupons. I was recently at Planet Hollywood and | | | | work as far as finding the very best coupons. One of |
| they included a $5 off coupon (good for up to four | | | | the better sites to find these coupons is online at Big |
| people) for their excellent Spice Market Buffet. Also, | | | | Vegas Buffet. You can buy some coupons direct or |

| Carnival World and Village Seafood Buffets. Those | | | | So on your next trip to Las Vegas, have fun and |
