I buy both las vegas advisor and American casino guide, then I map out a route to cash out all the coupons.
Is there any other coupon book like these two?
Great

Look for WINcards at various casinos. They add value to a low stakes run. Enjoy.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

In general, my advice is... DONT DO IT.

But why not?

Obviously, everyone's situation is different and that's why I said, in general. If you are someone who is seeking the value of coupons then it would seem that you are at minimum a value player.

from time to time these casinos will run a new players promotions and the value of just that one promotion will be more than all the value coupons combine.

If you are certain you won't be back to Vegas for a very long time then I guess it doesn't matter. I don't know how many times I have heard people say they didn't think they would be back in Vegas but here they are in Vegas again regretting the fact that they did the coupon run.
♪♪Now you swear and kick and beg us That you're not a gamblin' man Then you find you're back in Vegas With a handle in your hand♪♪ Your black cards can make you money So you hide them when you're able In the land of casinos and money You must put them on the table♪♪ You go back Jack do it again roulette wheels turinin' 'round and 'round♪♪ You go back Jack do it again♪♪

Take a look at his youtube video of a guy who did a dual coupon run with both of the coupon books.

I don't know enough to tell you whether you doing a coupon run or as Axel said "new player promo" is more EV+.

However, if you decide to do the coupon run, it's definitely a great time.

I also love the fact that you've mapped your runs. Some advice from my previous coupon runs I've had.

- Many of these coupons require a players card or a new players card sign up, OR required the rewards desk to stamp/approve the coupon before use. If you're trying to accomplish it during the week, make sure you know when the players card desk opens so that you're not there waiting X hours. It may put a wrench in your schedule. I'd say starting late morning is probably the safest time.

-When you go to the tables to use the coupons, don't be surprised if the dealers and the pit doesn't understand or recognize your coupon. Just know exactly what the coupon's rule is for and be adamant. You have to understand that the smaller and downtown casinos usually have newer dealers and don't have a lot of experience seeing coupons. For example, I had an argument over a $10 matchplay, and I had a 8 - 8 split opportunity against a dealer's 6 in a Blackjack game. I wanted to use another $20 of my own money to split ($10 of matchplay, $10 of my own money + $20 additional dollars of my money for split). The dealer refused to split my cards because she didn't understand the coupon. I had to call the pit, they checked with rewards, and it ended being a 10 minute ordeal which pissed the players on the table off. However, I did win, and it was worth it.

-Make sure you squeeze in and take advantage of the food coupons as well. They are definitely EV+

-Don't be an idiot like me and end up ordering a drink, and staying at the casino after winning the coupon bet. Some casinos, I overstayed my initial plan and ended up pouring back some of my own money when I should have just hit and run! But places like Ellis Island I just could 't resist as their beers are great.

Good luck and have fun. It would be great if you took some pictures or notes while you're doing this and post them on the forum for the members. I know many of the members love seeing trip reports (especially coupon runs). Good luck and may the cards turn in your favor!
