Does anyone know the best casino in Las Vegas to cash your paycheck at?
I specifically requested a paper check from my employer so I could get the check cashing bonuses at casinos.

You gotta love teddy! When I was at the Orleans a few years back there was a LONG LINE to cash paychecks. I believe they were giving out some form of free slot play.

People still can get paper checks? ;) Where I work, as of 6 months ago, its either direct deposit or a debit card thingy. Which is good for me. No one waiting till midnight to pick up their checks, and getting mad that I cant get them this instant because we are busy.

Long gone, but I loved the paycheck wheel at The Western where you usually won a free beer, but there was 1 $50 spot on the wheel.

Is it bad that I think promos like this are terrible? It's also probably illegal in my home state to offer a gift for a cashed check. They do offer free check cashing for "privileged players" though. It used to be free for everyone. Just hearing stories of people blowing paychecks just depresses me.

That's so generous of Stations! lol. I wonder if a "new" entity like Aliente would have a promo running (just beware the gas cost...)
Is your entire paycheck remitted in paper form? The only way my bank account is free is if i maintain a direct deposit into the checking account, or I'd probably look at doing this too:-)

You must have drawn the low prize on the spin or something. I know nothing about the check cashing bonuses, but I do know enough to stay away from stations (or not cashout) on a friday as the line is an hour long. I can't imagine people are standing in that line for $1 worth of points. The average prize must be better than what you received.
I do know that Longhorn on Boulder highway has a sign right out front that you get up to $20 matchplay when cashing your paycheck. Also El Cortez, used to advertise that they gave 5% in free play bonus up to $50. Don't know if that is still alive or not.

I'd like to do this one of these days just to be able to say "I blew my paycheck in Vegas". In reality I'd just deposit my bankroll into my account the night before, but yeah. Being the son of an accountant makes it impossible for me to be THAT irresponsible with my money.

It's not that I deserve free stuff (although I do :) ), but it is just ridiculous to have $1.00 as a prize on the wheel. You are apt to piss more people off than keep them coming back to cash their check. They also give out a free drink coupon with every cash -- the drink coupon is worth more than $1.00!Quote: bigfoot66I DESERVE FREE STUFF!!!
Think I will try El Cortez next time. 5% sounds pretty good to me.

Maybe you could have them print up ten paychecks for you each pay period.

Just occurred to me -- could a self-employed person print a large number of paychecks to him/herself and collect bonuses from the casinos? (Without gambling with anything more than the bonus money, of course.)

The company needs to be registered with the casino for them to take it. Michigan tax rebates and California ReMax checks weren't valid at Boyd properties and my federal tax rebate either didn't hit the minimum required or wasn't valid for promos either.

Just giving you a hard time. But, in my experience, you can't go wrong with much at the ElCo, unless you are trying to impress a woman by taking her there...

My complaint about El Cortez is that the staff and patrons both have the enthusiasm one might expect at a funeral proceeding.
People there are so quiet when they play craps that it is just plain disturbing and not fun for me.

Shed not for her
the bitter tear
Nor give the heart
to vain regret
Tis but the casket
that lies here,
The gem that filled it
Sparkles yet

Things I have hit cashing my paycheck at stations:
The 1,000 points or $1
Free Game of Bowling
Free T Shirt
I don't think they put the thing in as a money maker, but more as a gimmick to get people to cash their paycheck there. I always tell the employee that if the $10,000 prize hits they get 1/2 (which I would honor if it hit). But I do direct deposit because it is much easier (and my job now only offers DD or rape-card). I think those pay cards should be illegal, you should not have to pay fees to access your own money especially since they are usually from no-name banks.
