I had a couple of questions about the American Casino Guide and the Las Vegas Advisor coupon books.

-Can you use a gambling coupon from each coupon booklet that are roughly the same or the same at a specific casino? Or does it depend on the casino?

-Which one is better or if you can use the same gambling coupons at each property should I buy both?

-Any other tips, thoughts, or discussion?

You can use both. Some places though just won't let you use them at the same time.
DUHHIIIIIIIII HEARD THAT!

Not trying to discourage you, but ACG has declined in recent years. I used to buy like 6 books a year. But more and more of the coupons came with stipulations of one use every 6 month, or 1 per year or a few once per lifetime. Most of the better ones like D's push on 22 (blackjack) are limited like that. last year I think I bought 2 books and this year 1.

It's +EV, just not the bonanza it was a few years ago. I use very few of the food coupons though. Most are 2 for 1 and that's not quit good enough for me. I want my casino meals for free. :) So if you are going to use some of the food coupons and hotel (2nd night free), it might be more valuable to you.

We haven't used our "push on 22" coupons yet, and probably won't. Definitely used the "blackjack pays 2:1" coupons though, and none of them took me more than 15 minutes to get the blackjack either :-D

Thanks for your input kewlj and Ibeatyouraces. I am just going on a four night stay and was going to only use them for the gambling coupons. As not much of the dining and hotel offers interest me. I want something that I can do to take some time and be at an advantage for once, albeit however small.

Overall, they're worth it and I'd get as many as allowable. My results this week have sucked though, as I lost the first 14 match plays I had. Made a run at AoS's record.

Why would you not use it. It doesn't take long to bust with a 22. Then you just hand them your coupon and save your wager.

I suppose you could even alter strategy for more optimal play, maybe hitting 12 vs 4,5,6 or something, but I never have put that much thought into it.

That's last on the list of coupons to use. If we're to sit and play normally, than no doubt it'd be on the table. I plan on coming back later in the year, so I'll probably use it then.

The D $100 for $10k is a decent coupon, i think they are on both books. Are they both usable in the same year, and are they usable every year?

I have the one from ACG that is $5 fp for every 50 points up to $100. That the one you're taking about?

Yup that's the one. I knew it was worded differently.
