Last updated on December 10, 2001

To the readers of this page,

As of today, December 10, 2001 I will no longer be updating this page. It takes up too much of my time and there are far too few hits on this page each week. While I enjoy sharing my offers and how they were earned, as well as working on this page, the 3-4 hits a day that it gets don't make it worth my while to update it. I may resume this page in the future if there is a call for it. Thanks to all of you that visited on a regular basis.

If you have any questions or comments about the offers page please e-mail me at stungazed@yahoo.com

Casinos send out many offers to their players. Some are good, some are not so good. Some of them are great. This page contains all of the offers casinos send me. Updates to this page are made as the offers arrive so check back often to see if there is anything new posted.

Week of November 25

The Greatest Rooms!

The Biggest Party!

The Hottest Time!

Great New Year's Getaway

$396

Reserve your getaway package today! Call 1-800-727-5111

I'm not sure if this is a good deal or not since I don't stay on NYE and haven't been following the rates hotels are getting for those nights.

Week of November 18

Sam's Town:
Celebrate New Year's Eve 2002 Sam's town Style!

You and a guest are codially invited to a New Year's Eve Celebration Dinner Monday December 31, 2001 in the Ponderosa Ballroom. Cocktails - Dinner - Dancing - Live Music - Party Favors - Champagne - Special Gift. Party times are 5pm or 9pm.

PLUS, your choice of 4 nights in a Deluxe Room from December 27th, 2001 through January 2, 2002 and a Gold Card, entitling you to complimentary food and beverage during your stay in any of our fine restaurants.

Start 2002 by calling 1-800-634-6371 and tell the Service Representative that you are RSVPing for your special New Years Eve Black Tie Invitation. Please respond no later that December 21, 2001 for both party and room offer.

Another case of Sam's not being able to make up it's mind about what offers to send me. This is a great deal. If you base it on my last visit to Sam's of 5-6k over 2 days it's tremendous. If you use my history (10k per day) there it's a great deal. I've added this to my curreny reservation on my December trip.

Sam's Town:
Get 2002 off to a great start!

Dear Friend,
Sam's Town has the perfect way to start your year off right! From January 3 through January 30, 2002 we would love for you to join us for 4 days/3 Free Nights* of deluxe accomodations. Upon registration in our hotel, you will be issued a Silver Card for complimentary food and beverage in most of our fine restaurants. Also included in this offer is a voucher good for $50 CASH.

Ask for the Exciting Nights Offer 1-800-634-6371

2 offers from Sam's Town in the same week. One good for Gold Card Status on one of the busiest holidays of the year and one for Silver Card Status on one of the slower times of the year. Go figure!

Las Vegas Hilton:
Warm Up Your Winter...
...at the Las Vegas Hilton!

Don't let winter freeze your fun! Enjoy a wonderful winter getaway for $49

your Winter package includes:

To book your package call 800-727-5111
Ask for "Winter Getaway"

When warmth gives way to winter, why go anywhere else!

Pretty good offer here. After you factor in all the perks that come with the room for 2 nights it's pretty much free. I have very little play at the Hilton and on my last trip played only about 30 minutes according to my host there. They had a recent change to their slot club and for a few months after my spring trip I was getting bombarded with FREE offers of all sorts. After the changes I went back to getting these decent but not free deals.

Flamingo:

"The calendar says it's winter, but at the Flamingo Las Vegas, it's part time!"

Winer Getaway Bronze Offer

You are invited to enjoy up to four days and three nights at the Flamingo Las Vegas Sunday through Thursday for only $25 per night, or Friday and Saturday for only $50 per night. Available dates of the promotion are:

October 15 - November 21, 2001

November 25 - December 27, 2001

January 2 - 31, 2002

You will also receive:

If you stay with us from December 17-23, 2001 we'll also give you double slot points. That means you'll recieve twice as much cash back as you normally receive.

Make your reservations today. Call VIP Services from 8am - 7pm PST, seven days a week, at 1-888-902-9722. Please have your Players Club number and credit card ready. Ask for 1WBRZ.

Not a bad deal for a center strip property and my level of play there. Not much play on machines but a few hours of $25/hand blackjack last year.

Week of November 11

Bally's:
It's Your Birthday, Baby. Turn Back The Clock...
...With A Swig Of Vintage Vegas.

Your taste of yesteryear starts with three free nights at Bally's, in a special mini suite upgrade, plus $200 in table play. Just book your stay any Sunday through Thursday, based on availability. To get your cash, show this invite to the Bally's main casino cashier, along with a valid picture identification.

Book your reservation today by calling 1-800-722-5597, extension 74561, and we'll take care of you.
Happy Birthday, Baby!
Ask for offer CBDAYT1-DC.

This offer is too good to be true based on my few hours of $50/ hand blackjack the last time I played at Bally's about a yar ago. Too good to be true and it was. When I called to book it I was told it waan't in the computer that I got this offer. They had me down for 1 free night and additional at casino rate. I was told that if I faxed a copy of the offer it would be honored. I did so and they would only honor the room portion of the deal with no chips. I even spoke to a supervisor with no avail. I have booked the offer for my December trip and will attempt to redeem the card for the $200 they offered me. If this doesn't work a letter to PPE will be in the works, probably while I am still out there. I'll keep everyone posted on this site and various message boards about what happens!

Barbary Coast:
We would like to ivite you and a guest to enoy our Lite up the Nite PACKAGE

Reserve two nights at our special casino rate of $35 and receive your third night FREE! Inquire about the availability of this special casino rate for friends or family. Call us at 1-888-227-2279 to make your room reservations.

This offer also comes with 2 coupons attached

This isn't a very good offer considering my play as far as the room rate goes. I usually play a few hours per trip on their FPDW machines. The coupons are decent though. There is also no mention of needing to stay at the Barbary to redeem them. I'm wondering where the great offfers are like the one I got for the summer promotion!

Week of November 4

Flamingo:
Happy Birthday

It's the only holiday of the year that is yours and only yours. We'd like to help you celebrate it in style at the fabulous Flamingo Las Vegas! We'll give you a luxurious room for two nights for only $50.00 Sunday through Thursday, $70.00 Friday and Saturday. Then we will top it all off with a complimentary breakfast or lunch buffet for two.

Please call 1-800-225-4882 between 8am & 7pm PST 7 days a week to make your reservations. Have your Players Card number and credit card ready and tell the operator you want the "1BDN" offer.

Yours Truly

Matt Buckley
Director of Casino Marketing

Wow, another birthday offer and I get to PAY for my rooms! I don't have a ton of play at the Flamingo on the machines but did log in few hours of $25/hand blackjack about a year and a half ago. It's actually not a bad offer since it works out to only $25/night or $35/night on weekends for a hotel that's center strip.

Palace Station:
Congratulations on Reaching Stations Rewards Gold Level!

Because of your Gold status, PALACE STATION is inviting you to pick up your new card and stay with us during the months of November, December, and January! Great room rates are available as low as $19 per day and there are 7 days to choose from where your room will be FREE!

FOR RESERVATIONS, DIAL TOLL-FREE:
1-866-767-7772 and ask for Operator #97

This is a postcard featuring calendar rates for November, December, and January. The rates range from FREE - $89 on weekdays and $49 - $149 on weekends. Not a bad deal if you can hit the free nights with some $19 nights and get free show tickets. I think I gave them about 2k coin in on my last visit there.

Edgewater Laughlin:

It's our 20th Anniversay!

JOIN US TO CELEBRATE TWO DECADES OF FUN!

November 1st - December 20th, 2001

800-677-4837
Mention offer code: ANNIVERSARY

Not a bad deal. Normally I get free offers from the Edgewater but when you factor in the free gifts they are giving you the room is free. I haven't been to the Edgewater in about 2 years but I still get offers from them from time to time. I probably have less than $1000 in play here.

Plaza:

Looks like they are running some good promotions the next few months and the coupons are pretty good. This is only the 2nd piece of mail I've ever gotten from this place. Hopefully a lot more will be arriving.

This must be some sort of joke. $99 for 2 nights at The New Frontier when I normally get 2 comped nights per month based on my lifetime slot club points. And yes, it says February 2001. Wasn't that like 9 months ago?

Week of October 28

No offers this week. This is a bad thing!

Week of October 21

Tom Bonanne
Senior Vice President, Casino Marketing

P.S. Still need to warm up to the idea of spending some of your winter in Vegas? Check out the accompanying newsletter for more details on what Bally's and Paris have to offer!

Not a bad offer when you factor in my play at Baly's/Paris is quite minimal. Just a few thousand on the machines and a few hours of $50/hand blackjack. During this time of year though, I'd expect the rooms to be comped (like they were last year). The $50 food credit does make the offer as good as free though. Not sure on all of the details that come with the airline vouchers, but they can only make the deal better.

The rate isn't bad but consider the offer. It sucks. It's a birthday gift to me but I have to pay???? Ok, I admit I don't have a lot of play here in the last few years but they brought that onto themselves. A once great place for comps got tighter and I was gone. Offers like this will keep me away too!

GREAT OFFER. Not only that but I have actually been upgraded to GOLD card status again. According to my host on my last visit there I played just over 5k in 2 days. Formerly I used to play in the 10k per day area but with all their changes I'm planning on cutting that WAY down in the future.

Great offer from the Plaza. I joined their slot club when it started and played quite a bit of 50 play video poker. I think I racked up over 6,000 points but this is the first ever offer I got from them. The certificates they mention are:

Big spenders with the ice cream bars but the $5 food coupon and the triple points will come in handy. The dinner for 2 at Center Stage for an approved line of credit is a great deal and there is NO cost to get it other than the time to apply for the credit.

Hal Welch
Director of Slot Operations

Great Offer from Main Street Station. Usually I get the offers with the limited dates but this works out much better when you can pick any nights you choose. This offer even includes weekends which is a great perk. The offer gets better when you consider the fact they want to give a freind their own room too. I have about $7,000 in lifetime play here on video poker.

Great offer from Sam's Town. RFB for 3 nights and 50,000 slot club points. These points are worth $50 cash or $80 in comps. Makes no sense to take the comps though since the offer already covers your food. TAKE THE CASH! Unless you need show tickets or logo wear. TAKE THE CASH. Did I mention TAKE THE CASH??!!

Terribles:
October/November newsletter full of great point reduced offers and coupons for things like logo wear, beer, soda, food, cash, cigarettes, car washes and gas.

This is a great newsletter full of great offers but they need to send it out sooner. It has October offers in it and they are pretty much worthless by the time this arrives.

New Frontier:
Quarterly Newsletter. Also feaures coupons for the months of October, November, and December. Coupons included are:


Also included was the following:

SPECIAL HOLIDAY INVITATION!

From all of us at the New Frontier Hotel abd Casino, we would like to take this moment to wish you a Happy Holiday Season.

We would like to extend a special holiday offer to you. This offer includes a 2 night, 3 day complimentary stay for you and a guest and a special limited edition New Frontier Holiday Gift valued at over $50.00 which you will receive upon arrival.We hope that you can join us during the holiday season between November 25, 2001 and December 27, 2001. This special holiday offer is limited. So please call 1-800-634-6966 today to book your reservation.

Good offer from the Frontier. I have over 19,000 lifetime points ($3.75/pt on VP) here and qualify for 2 free nights a month without this offer but I'll take a free gift anytime! One thing they need to do is mail offers out sooner. This just got her in mid October and the coupons good for this month are pretty worthless

Week of October 7

Coast Resorts:
Quartely newsletter

This quarter there are no coupons or offers in it. It does have a calendar of events that include 2X points on certain days in October, November, and December.

Week of September 30

Sahara:
Quarterly Newsletter. Features calendar rates for October, November and December. Most weekday nights are between $27-$37 and weekends at $54. Also runnig a special in November and December where if you buy 2 nights you get a 3rd free.

The calendar rates are very good in this newsletter. I have some decent play (about 5k on my last visit if I remember correctly) at the Sahara but never seem to get anything better than the calendar rates from them.

Sam's Town:
The All American $20,000 Craps Tournament

Your fortune could be in the roll of the dice!
What's more fun than a National Holiday Weekend, but a Holiday weekend with a chance to win $10,000 in CASH! Join us November 9 - November 12, 2001 for 3 Free Nights* of room accomodations. It even gets better! At the welcome party every tournament entrant will receive a Special Gift.

This is a nice deal, a free craps tourny and 3 free nights. Only strange thing is that I have never played craps at Sam's! In fact I have only played craps about 10 times in my life and at very low stakes. So low that I don't hand in my rating card when I play!

The usual monthly offer I always get from Main Street Station. As always the only thing I don't like about it is the very limited dates it's good for.

Week of September 23

NO OFFERS. I HOPE THAT THIS DOESN'T CONTINUE TO HAPPEN EVERY WEEK!

Week of September 16

New Frontier:

The Breeder's Cup 2001 Viewing Party

Seating is limited, so call 1-800-634-6966 or 702-794-8330 today to book your reservations.

Different type of offer here. Sounds like a party and the chance to watch the race on TV. The two nights are a good deal too. I have just under 20,000 lifetime points at the New Frontier.

Week of September 9

No offers again this week. Let's hope this trend changes next week!

Week of September 2

No offers this week. It's been really slow for offers the last few weeks

Week of August 26

Sam's Town:
Leaves are falling and
Sam's Town is calling...
...for you to come and enjoy a great time!

Dear Friend,

It's that time of year again! Fall breezes are blowing and the cash is flowing. Now is the perfect time to getaway to Sam's Town. From October 1 through October 23, 2001, we would love for you to join us for 4 days/3 nights* of accomodations. Choose your dates in October! Upon registration in our hotel, you will be issued a Silver Card good for complimentary food and beverage in most of our fine restaurants. Also included in this offer, with your hotel stay is a voucher redeemable for $50 CASH just to make your stay a little more exciting. So join us this Fall for a Vegas style great time!

Ask for the Cool Coin Offer
1-800-634-6371

This is the standard offer I get every month from Sam's Town except for one thing. I have once again been downgraded to Silver card status. These guys are getting pretty inconsistant with their offers. I formerly gave Sam's Town about 10k per day in play but the next time I get there it will drop, quite a bit!

Sam's Town:

Sam's Town Annual October Golf Tournament

I'm not sure if this is a good deal or not since I don't play golf!

Palace Station:
FANTASTIC FALL OFFERS AT PALACE STATION!

Make plans now to visit Palace Station during the months of September, October, and November and you'll not only get your Tower room for some great rates, some days are as low as $19 per day, but there are 8 days to choose from where your room will be FREE! Even better,yet, stay with us on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday and we'll give you TWO COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS to LAUGH TRAX at either the 7:30pm or the 10:00pm show on those nights, while supplies last.

Laugh Trax is a new comedy club that just opened and it's already taken the Las Vegas comedy scene by storm. And the best part about Laugh Trax is that it's located right in Palace Station.

Not only do we have the best comedy club in town; we have great games for you as well. Check out the new slots, great table games, live poker, bingo, keno, and non stop race and sports book action.

If you're looking for more than just fun and games, we've got that covered too. We have great food and the best service in town! Just visit one of our five award-winning restaurants for proof.

FOR RESERVATIONS, DIAL TOLL-FREE:
1-866-767-7772 and ask for Operator #83

This is the same quarterly post card I have been getting from Palace Station. I need to correct one error they made on it though. It says there are rooms as low as $19 and there aren't. The lowest room rate is $19.99. It appears they have added the $.99 to all of the room rates. (Not that $19.99 isn't a great deal). I think this is a pretty good offer based on the fact I only have about $1,000 in video poker play there on my last trip there and a little bit of blackjack play.

Circus - Circus:

Buy One Night,
Get the Second Night Free.*

Offer Includes:

Offer good August 19 - November 1, 2001
Sunday thru Wednesday Arrivals Only

Call Today! Toll Free 800-347-2753
Offer Code: "BREEZY"

*Free night based upon equal or or lesser room rate
**Double portion size - single portion price

Not a bad offer considering I have not played here in a few years. I used to play a few hours of $25/hand blackjack here each trip. The room comps were pretty easy back then. This is actually the first offer I have seen from Circus - Circus in quite some time.

Week of August 19

The Reserve:
Hi James,

Why the long face? Are you feeling a little sad to see summer end? Don't worry, the summer may be over, but at The Reserve, the Party has just begun! We've been practicing "fun" all summer long and we are ready to wrap up the year right!

Won't you join us for a little R&R?

As if that wasn't enough, there's more! You have to experience our new lounge, Lava! Great music every night Thursday - Saturday. It's the best place to hangout...breakout..danceout..in the area! It's the best atmosphere after jamming out in the Nils Lofgren Guitar Bar! As you know we've got our famous 99c Margaritas and refreshing $1.50 Coronas. What great choices for fun!

Tusks Steakhouse is now hotter than ever! Re-named "Fuego", it still has your favorite steaks, seafood and a few surprises! It's the same great food with a fresh look. Of course Congo Jack's Cafe is still the place for great Chinese food and our Steak and Lobster Special! If you can't make up your mind, the Grand Safari Buffet is waiting for you! All varieties of food prepared fresh for you. So many choices...so little time!

Oh, and Games! Boy, do we have games. The latest in slot fun is always on our casino floor. We've got $1,000,000 Pyramid, Scrabble, and Millionaire 7's. If you prefer tables, we are giving you a match bet to start it off! Use your match bet on Blackjack, or try out our Let it Ride and Pai Gow Poker.

Take a look at your calandar, move the dentist appointment, take a long weekend and squeeze us in! Call now to make your reservation (888-899-7770) and ask for Operator #812. You can also book through your casino host at (866-469-7666). You offer is valid September 3 through December 15, 2001. Before you know it, the air here will be a crisp 70 degrees! Everyday is a fun day so don't miss out!

See you soon,
Yale Rowe
Director of Marketing

Nice offer from the Reserve, but the match play coupon is only $10. I'm not sure how they figure I deserve a $10 match play coupon when my minimum bets are $25. I have not played at the Reserve since December right before Stations took over. I previously played between 5 and 15k per day on the video poker machines here but stopped playing when the best they would do for me was a comped room. I said for $15k I could stay on the strip and haven't played there since. I also used to get a few hours of $25/hand blackjack in as well.

Week of August 12

This is very bad, but there were no offers this week. Let's hope this changes next week!

Week of August 5

Stardust:
Dear James,

Every fall our best customers like you have enjoyed a complimentary vacation at the Stardust Resort & Casino. And this year, I have an offer you can't refuse

First choose your dates Sunday - Thursday only, Oct. 1 - 31 or Nov. 4 - 29, 2001. Then I'll arrange for your Complimentary TWO Night Vacation in a deluxe room.

Plus, I'll also give you $50 in Airline Discounts to use for future flights anywhere, any time, any airline. Use them yourself or as gifts - they're transferable to family and friends!

Simply call the Stardust Room Reservations office at 1-877-212-1300 6am to 12 midnight 7 days a week. Mention you received the "Fall Fun" invitation.

Sincerely,

John Miner
Executive Vice President
& General Manager

P.S. Don't wait too long to reserve your room! We typically sell-out quickly. And remember, the weather is great. Wayne Newton will be appearing October 1-31, November 4-11 and 26-29. Don Rickles headlines Nov. 15-18 only. If you need show reservations, just let us know.

This has pretty much become the standard offer I get from the Stardust every 2 months. I played some $25/ hand blackjack there on my last trip. The other thing I like about the Stardust offers is they give you plenty of lead time so you can make plans to visit, unlike some casino offers that arrive a few days before the valid dates.

Las Vegas Hilton:

DUEL
IN
THE
DESERT

Friday September 14, 2001 at 9pm

2 nations + 2 Champions + 4 Fists =
Una guerra fantastica!
(One fantastic fight!)

The Las Vegas Hilton hosts The Duel in the Desert,
an amazing match between the top fighters of the
U.S. Olympic Boxing Team squaring off against the
toughest amatuer boxers from Mexico and Baja California.

room accomodations for two nights, Thursday
and Friday, September 13 & 14, 2001

This is going to be a two-flag, four-star
knockout event, so call now for reservations!

1-800-457-3307

Another boxing offer. And, it's for the same night as the Flamingo offer I got last week. Only difference is it's 2 complimentary nights for a Thursday and Friday. This is a good offer and is based on quite a bit of $1 VP play there on my last trip.

Las Vegas Hilton:
Ahhhh...Fall in Las Vegas


For more information call 800-727-5111. Ask for "Fall in Vegas"

This is another great offer from the Hilton. Ever since the $1 play I gave them on my last trip the great offers like this have been rolling in. I have only about 250 lifetime points at the Hilton.

Week of July 29

Call VIP Services 8am - 7pm PST at 1-800-225-4882 to make your
reservations. Have your players card number ready and ask for 1THP9.

This isn't much of an offer but the $75 room rate for a weekend isn't too bad. I'd expect a little better based on my $25+/hand blackjack and $1 VP play I've given them in the past though

For the latest information about all that's happening here visit us on the web at www.stratospherehotel.com

This is the first ofer I have received from the Stratosphere in quite a long time. This used to be my home back when I was primarily a blackjack player but with numerous changes in owners and management the requirements constantly changed. Since then I have made video poker my game of choice and haven't spent much time at the Strat in a few years. This looks like the "we miss you" type of card on top of the fact they are promotig their new expansion.

Week of July 15

Main Street Station:

Autumn is coming and Las Vegas is buzzing! Cooler weather, gorgeous desert evenings - and hot games await! It's our complimentary "Awesome Autumn" getaway and it's FREE!

Here's to a beautiful fall - and a great getaway to Main Street Station!

Frank J. Casuallo
Vice President &
Director of Casino Operations

Hal Welch
Director of Slot Operations

This has become the standard monthly offer from Main Street Station. As always they make this great pitch for a great getaway for 3 nights, tell you to pick your dates and then give you a total of 4 nights to choose from. It's these limited dates that make me hate most of these offers from Main Street Station. I only have about $7,000 lifetime play here and continue to get these offers. I'm sure with more play the offers would get better!

Coast Resorts:
Quarterly newsletter with a calendar of events and news about all of the construction going on at their properties. They are also promoting 2 for 1 breakfast buffets at the Suncoast from July 2 to September 21 and $1 drinks at the Suncoast at all bars in the month of July. There is also a coupon good for a free gift which can be redeemed at any Coast Resorts slot club from August 1 - 15.

Ever since my stay at the Gold Coast and Suncoast this spring I've been getting this newsletter. I don't think it really offers anything great this month though

Sam's Town:
Whether it's a day at on the greens or a night on the town...
...Sam's Town has it all.

Dear Friend,

Sam's Town has the perfect summer getaway offer just for you. From August 1 through August 31, we would love for you to join us for 4 Days / 3 Nights* of accomodations. Choose any dates in August! Upon registration in our hotel, you will be issued a Gold Card for complimentary food and beverage in any of our fine restaurants. Also included in this offer is a voucher good for $100 CASH or $25 CASH and 2 FREE Rounds of Golf at Stallion Mountain Country Club. (We'll even book your Tee time for you).So join us for a Vegas style great time!

Ask for the Hole In One Offer
1-800-634-6371

Another great offer from Sam's Town. After their changes and the horrible comps, I've been getting these great Gold Card offers again. In a recent conversation with my host at Sam's even she said she can't figure out the marketing department. While the actual requirements are still way too high for the hosts, marketing seems to be getting the job done with great deals like this. I formerly gave Sam's Town about 10k per day in play but the next time I get there it will drop.

Call For Your Room Reservation.
1-800-634-6757
Mention that you recieved the Summer Vacation Special Offer.

I don't get this, back in the week of June 24th I got an identical card but it was for complimentary nights. The only difference in the 2 is that this one is good until October 4th and the last one was good until September 4th. Makes no sense! Either way this is based on my blackjack play there where I usually get a few hours in at $25/hand.

Week of July 8

New Frontier:
Quarterly newsletter with a coupon sheet with the following coupons:

I get this newsletter every quarter and it's usually here by the middle of the quarter and half the coupons are expired. This time it has arrived a little bit into the quarter, but the New Frontier still needs a little more lead time mailing their coupons. The straight flush has to be in a particular suit each month and all coupons are good Sunday at 3pm - Friday 3pm, which I find lame

Week of July 1

No offers again this week. I don't like what's happening here!

Mention that you received the Easy Winning Offer.

This is a nice deal, 2 nights, 2 meals (even though it's the Stardust buffet!) and a $25 airline voucher. I'm sure there's a catch with the voucher. This is the standard offer I usually get every 2 months (except last time) from the Stardust based on some $25/hand blackjack on prior visits.

Palace Station:

SIZZLING SUMMER OFFERS AT PALACE STATION

Make plans now to visit PALACE STATION during the months of July, August and September and you'll not only get your tower room for some great rates, some days as low as $19 per day, but there are 10 days to choose from where your room will be FREE! Even better yet, stay with us on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, and we'll give you TWO COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS to LAUGH TRAX at either the 7:30 p.m. or the 10:00p.m. show on those nights, while supplies last.

Laugh Trax is a new comedy club that just opened and it's already taken the Las Vegas Comedy scene by storm. And, the best part about Laugh Trax is that it's located right in Palace Station.

Not only do we have the best comedy club in town, we have great games for you as well. Check out the new slots, great table games, live poker, bingo, keno, and nonstop race and sports book action.

If you're looking for more than just fun and games, we've got that covered too. We have great food and the best service in town! Just vivit one of our five award-winning restaurants for proof.

Great rates for June are still available

FOR RESERVATIONS, DIAL TOLL-FREE:
1-866-767-7772 and ask for Operator #94

This is a postcard with calendar rates for July, August and September ranging from the 10 free nights mentioned above to $49 on selected weeknights and rates ranging from $49-$69 on weekend. Not a bad deal considering I don't have a whole lot of play here. The 2 free tickets to the comedy club make this a better deal if you can get in there on the nights that are free and $19!

No offers this week. What's up with that???

The Reserve:
Hi James,

Congratulations, you made it! It's summer time! You've spent your winter working hard and now it's time to play hard! You've got to unwind and have fun with your friends at the Reserve. Don't worry; we're here to help. After all, you deserve it!

We have so much to add to your summer!

    As you know, the Reserve is well known for great gaming promotions such as our Free Meal Fridays and weekly Congo Jack Blackjack tournament. Now we have the hottest new place for good music too! Nils Lofgren's Guitar Bar is open Wednesday thru Saturday. It's a great time in the cool, relaxed setting of Monsoon Mary's Bar. We're jammin' the night away and amateurs are welcome. You never know who you'll see and it's different every night.

    Now, like I said, we are here to help you loosen up, so we've enclosed some irresistible offers for you. To begin with, you get a complimentary hotel stay and a great food offer. As you know, we're very proud of our good eats! The best part is you get a point multiplier too! That's right, you asked for it and here it is in your hand!

    We look forward to seeing you and your friends soon. Make it a great summer!

    Sincerely,

    Yale Rowe
    Director of Marketing

    This is a good deal to me. $70 in food can go quite a way at the Reserve, even in their more upscale restaurants. On my last stay there I played about 15k per day through their 50 play machines, but all the good machines have been removed. On my last visit there I didn't play but just redeemed points for food. As far as I have seen the place has gone downhill since it has been "Stationized". This is the first decent offer I have received from them since Stations took over 6 months ago.

    Week of June 3

    Golden Nugget Laughlin:
    Dear James,

    We've been missing you at the Golden Nugget! Since my records show you haven't visited us for a while, I felt you might need an enticement to come visit us. So, I included the below cash offer which is redeemable at the 24-Karat Club between June 1st through 30th, 2001.

    To make this offer ever sweeter, I will give you one (1) free night (subject to availability) to accompany the cash. Just call Room Reservations at (800) 955-7700 tell them this code ACT2 and present the top section of this letter when you check in.

    Again, I hope you will find the time to stop by. If you have any questions or would like to talk to me directly, please feel free to call Casino Marketing at (702) 298-7175 or (800) 955-7568. I look forward to seeing you soon.

    Best of Luck,

    Brent Pirosch
    Director of Marketing and Sales

    This is a nice deal when you consider I haven't been to the Golden Nugget Laughlin in about 2 years. On my last trip there I think I played 8-9k through the VP machines (even hit a royal!)

    Director of Operations

    I like this offer. It's food for 3 nights in each each month from June 3 - July 12, July 15 - August 16 and August 19 - September 13. The bring a friend rates I have are for $25/$15/$10 for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd nights. I only have about 2 hours of video poker play here at the quarter level from last summer. The only downfall is their hotel isn't attached to the casino.

    Flamingo:

    This is almost the identical offer I got a few weeks ago with a few exceptions, I get 1 keno ticket instead of match play, I get 2 free buffets instead of bagels and coffee for 2 and I get to pay $10.95 more per night. This offer is really an insult. Going form bagels and coffee for 2 to 2 free buffets but raising the rate by over $10.

With thousands of slot machines, plenty of live gaming action and four on-site restaurants to choose from for your dining pleasure there is always something to enjoy at the Edgewater.

    Call our VIP hotline at 877-972-7222 for reservations or more information.

    *This offer excludes holidays, and special even periods.

    While the edgewater isn't the nicest property in Laughlin, they are the only casino to continue to send me an offer on a regular basis even though I have not played there in over 2 1/2 years. Not only that but my lifetime play is well under $1,000 coin in.

    MGM Grand:
    Hot town! It's summer in the City of Entertainment and it's your time to SHINE. Stay at MGM Grand Las Vegas through September 6, 2001, and receive grand rewards:

    Take advantage of the coolest deal under the sun with this exclusive offer. Don't wait - call 877.767.0007 to make your reservations today and indicate your offer code OTH010. Have a grand summer in the City!

    I don't think this offer is based on previous play here at the MGM Grand because of the line about joining the Directors Club, of which I am already a member. It doesn't matter anyway as I haven't had any play here in years and this is only about the 3rd offer I've ever gotten from them since 1996.

    Sam's Town:
    We would like to make you an offer...
    ... that is crystal clear

    Dear Friend,

    There is no better time than now to come to Sam's Town. This summer we have the perfect offer just for you. From July 1 through July 31, 2001 we would love for you to join us for up to 3 Free Nights* of accomodations. Choose any dates in July! Upon registration in our hotel, you will be issued a Gold Card for complimentary food and beverage in any of our fine restaurants. Also included in this offer is a very special gift of Waterford Wedgewood Crystal 6" Killeen Bowl.
    So join us for a Vegas style great time!

    Ask for the Waterford Crystal Offer
    1-800-634-6371

    OK, I'm just not going to try to figure out the offers from Sam's Town anymore. They just fon't make any sense at all to me anymore. I think by now everyone knows my history with Sam's and about the changes they made to their slot club and comp requirements. This is a great offer but the crystal bowl is a bit wimpy. I've seen other offers posted on the net from people with lower play that didn't include a gold or silver card but included $50 cash. Sam's can keep the little bowl and hand me that cash too!

    Not a bad deal especially when you factor in the airline certificates(as long as there is no catch) and then factor in that I haven't played there in over a year. The play I had was minimal on video poker, probably less than $1,000 coin in.

    Barbary Coast:
    Fun in the Sun Spectacular
    6 coupons valid May 7 - October 4 good for the following:

    -Dinner for 2 at Michaels or Drai's
    -Breakfast for 2 in the Victorian Room (2 coupons)
    -Steak Dinner for 2 in the Victorian Room

    This is a super offer. I have quite a bit of lifetime play here but never got more than a few offers for complinetary nights. This is a better offer than I get at places where I have much more play. I'm kind of wondering why I got such a good offer though. I'm thinking it might have something to do with my play at the Suncoast and the Gold Coast on my March/April trips since my play at Barbary was never near as high as it is at those places.

    $39.50 is a pretty good deal for a strip hotel. This is based on my blackjack play here a few trips ago. The only thing I don't like is that 2 offers ago I was getting complimentary rooms for 2 nights and now they want me to pay.

    New Frontier:
    Dear James,

    As one of our most valued customers I am writing to say Thank You for choosing "The New Frontier" as your destination when visiting Las Vegas. And as a loyal "Cash Time" member James we would like to make you a special offer.

    James as of 3/28/01 you have earned 19685 total points in acct. #xxxxx. Which means that you qualify for Two Free Room Nights any Sunday through Thursday Right Now.

    In addition if you make reservations to stay at "The New Frontier" between May 27th and September 14th 2001. The Two Free Room Nights will be good for any two nights of the week, including a Free Dinner For Two. Good at the Orchard Cafe, Margarita's, or Gilly's western barbecue.

    The LAs Vegas Strip is the entertainment capital of the world, offering fun and excitement that is unsurpassed. And "The New Frontier" is right in the middle of it all, with the most liberal slot paybacks found on the strip. Many of our machines have payback percentages over 100%.

    Call for reservations 1-800 258-4338.

    Sincerely,
    David Cooke
    Director of Slot Operations

    I've been going to the New Frontier for a while now. You get those 2 free nights each month based on your lifetime point totals. This is an upgrade offer allowing the free nights to be used on weekends. I'll be at that level at the 20,000 point level. The dinner for two makes an already good offer even better. You just can't beat free hotel rooms and free food!

    On a side note, while I'm not an English major, I've never seen an offer sent out with so many grammar errors before!

    Las Vegas Hilton:
    A splash of sun, a taste of adventure and a dreamy day away

    -2 tickets to see the sensational Sheena Easton

    -2 buffets or $25 off dinner at Benihana

    -2 $5.00 casino match plays

    This is the best offer I have ever gotten from the LV Hilton. I had some $1 video poker play there on my last trip. I have about 250 lifetime points there. I'm not really sure what it even takes to earn a point here though.

    Decent rates for these 2 center strip megaresorts but I'd still have expected a little better considering my last trip where I played a few hours of $50+ per hand blackjack.

    Great offer from Main Street Station for the summer. I still can't seem to figure out what they are basing their offers on though. Some are good weekends, some are not, and some are good for only very limited dates. I have only about $7,000 lifetime play there on the video poker machines.

    Flamingo:

    Summer Excitement

    Bronze yourself at the Flamingo Las Vegas between May 28 and September 14, 2001.

    You are invited to the Flamingo Las Vegas Sunday through Thursday for only $19.50(plus tax) per person per night based on double occupancy.

    Your Bronze Vacation includes:

    -4 poolside cocktails (excludes specialty drinks)
    -Valuable match play coupons
    -Bagels and coffee for two

    Date are going fast, so call 1-877-863-5368
    to make your reservation.
    Please have your Players Club number and credit card ready.
    Ask the operator for offer code 1BRZ.

    Valid Sunday through Thursday only. Friday and Saurday rates are slightly higher and based on availability. Two night minimum stay required. Two night maximum at $39 rate. Some blackout dates will apply. Non-transferrable and may not be combined with any other Flamingo offers. Requires first nights deposit at time of booking to secure reservation. Reservations must be cancelled 48 hours in advance or deposit will be forfeited. Management reserves all rights.

    OK, is this for real? BAGELS AND COFFEE FOR TWO? WOW such a deal! Not a buffet, not a continental breakfast but, BAGELS AND COFFEE FOR TWO! Not only do they use that sneaky hotel trick of a low rate and then put per person but they, are offering BAGELS AND COFFEE FOR TWO. If you haven't figured it out yet, I think this offer is kind of lame. It's nice that they are willing to feed me but, BAGLES AND COFFEE? The rate is decent and I believe this is based on my small amount of VP play at the Flamingo. If it's based on my table play someone needs to get their act together and make better offers since I played a number of hours of $25+/hand the last time I was there.

    Sam's Town:

    Offer valid only in conjunction with your hotel stay (minimum 2 nights) beginning June 1 through 30, 2001. Additional complimentaries based on rated casino play. This offer is non-transferable and reservations are subject to availability. Photo ID required upon check in. Guests must be 21 years of age or older. Cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.

    Must present this coupon and Prime Rewards card to our front desk personnel to receive a Watch Voucher. Redeemable at the Prime Rewards Center and good one time only. Guests must be 21 years of age or older. Cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer. Management reserves all rights to modify or cancel this promotion at any time. Decision of management is final. Offer is only good June 1 through June 30, 2001.

    I'm shocked by this offer. Any of you that have been reading this page and my posts on Las Vegas Talk, Vegas Player, and Las Vegas Advisor message boards (as well as current and FORMER customers there) know about how they made changes to their slot club late in 2000 pretty much screwing all of their long time loyal customers. I went from being a gold card customer and a suite any day of the week to getting mid week room comps only. This change was made with no change in my play. The first few months after the changes the offers got continually worse until the May offer which was good any day and offered a silver card. Now without being there since December (where my play was only $1,500 per day because of the changes. I figured why bother!) Now the June offer rolls in and it's for any day of the week with a gold card. I can't seem to figure this place out. Maybe they realized their mistake? Or did the letter I wrote tham a few months ago (along with other customers) make them realize they screwed up. Or maybe it was their quarterly losses that made them realize. I really wonder what's going on here. This is a fantastic offer but I don't think I'm ready go go back to Sam's just yet. (Even though I have reservation booked for July-paid for with the comp dollars from the old comp system that I almost lost). Only time will tell what Sam's is really doing.

    This has become the standard monthly offer from Main Street Station. Again, the only problem is the limited dates. They tell you to pick any three nights and then give you a 4 day window to do it in. I have about 7k in lifetime play here. About 1/2 of that was earned on my last stay there in December.

    I get this newsletter every quarter. The only problem is the New Frontier needs to send them out earlier. These coupons are good for April, May and June. It's now April 9th and I just got it today. Not very good considering I was actually in Las Vegas the first week of April and these could have come in handy.

    Decent offer for a buy one get one free. I can't remember the last time I was in Circus - Circus but I'm sure I was playing $25/hand blackjack since their video poker inventory is pretty bad. As far as the airfare certificate goes, I'm sure there is some sort of catch so I can't really comment on it.

    Offer is subject to availability. Must be 21 years or older to participate. Offer can not be used in conjunction with any other offer. Cancellation must be made at least 48 hours prior to arrival. Management reserves all rights to this promotion. Prize money based on 80 golfers.

    I'm not a golfer so I don't really know if this a a good deal or not. I'd venture to say it's not considering I'm formerly a gold card guest (before their terrible changes) that ran 10K per day and this should be comped. The other thing that leads me to think this offer sucks is in a separate mailing I got this identical letter except the price was for only $395 (a savings of $200). They need to get their shit together at Sam's.

    Join us for Cool Nights and Fast Action!

    1-800-634-6371

    *Offer is only good May 1 through May 31, 2001. Additional complimentaires based on your rated casino play. This offer is non-transferable and reservations are subject to availability. Photo ID required uopn check in. Guests must be 21 years of age or older. Cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.

    This is a great offer considering on my December trip I only gave them about $1,500 in play per day. A silver card through a host will run you $10,000 in action per day. The last few offers were terrible, but coincidently after I sent a letter to my host, who forwarded my letter to management the offers suddenly become somewhat decent again. Right now Sam's marketing depart seems to be in complete chaos and nothing is standard like it used to be before their "new and improved" slot club went into effect.

    Week of March 18

    I can't believe this but yet another week has gone by and there were no offers in my mailbox. This is terrible!

    Week of March 11

    Stardust:
    When was the last time you were invited to a sleep over?

    You probably won't get much sleep this time, either.

    Come and spend a couple of nights at the Stardust in April or May, 2001

    We've got a Deluxe Room waiting for you, and we're going to give you your 2nd night free Sunday thru Thursday when you pay for your first night at $48 Sunday - Wednesday. weekend rates available. Just ask us.

    We're even going to throw in a $50 flight certificate that will take $50 off your next airline ticket. You can use it to fly anywhere in the Continental United States.....or even use it to come back and see us again!

    Call the Stardust Room Reservations Department at 1-877-212-1300 6am to 12 Midnight PST 7 days a week

    Mention you recieved the "Pillowtalk" Offer and we'll handle the rest.

    This invitation is based on availability. Please inquire as to the status of your reservation if you require additional nights. A picture ID is required upon check - in at the front desk. This offer may be used more than once during May 2001 based on casino play. The Stardust reserves the right to amend or discontinue this offer at any time. The Stardust reserves the right to adjust this offer and status based on most recent casino play. Continued tracked gaming action is required to retain eligibility for offer. Cannot be used in conjunction with any other stardust event, tournament, promotion or offer. This invitation is non - transferable.

    Looks like the Stardust may be tightening up on the comps. I usually get an offer for 2 free nights instead of buy one get one. The airline certificate makes up for it if there are no strings attached to it. I gave them some $25/hand blackjack last time i stayed there for a few hours.

    Bally's:

    Celebrate Classic Las Vegas
    $55 per person, per night
    Discover the grand tradition Las Vegas is famous for with our Celebration Package - including two tickets to Donn Arden's Jubilee! (late show only), a breakfast buffet for two at the award-winning Big Kitchen Buffet and a discount for two to the Spa at Bally's. To take a trip back in time, Las Vegas-style, just call 1-888-245-1533 and mention offer code DBAMS5-DT.

    Offer valid May 1 - September 6, 2001, Sunday - Wednesday arrivas only. Subject to availability. Based on double occupancy, two night minimum stay. Total package cost is $220 , including tax. Spa discount valid only once per person. May not be combined with any other offer.

    This offer is just a joke. I guess that $50 a hand blackjack isn't good enough for them since that's what I played last time I was there.

    Nice offer from the Reserve. Stations has screwed up a few things already like eliminating cash back with about a 1 month notice and increased the amount of points needed to get comps by 20%. However, this is one mailing I never got from the Reserve when Ameristars owned it. Very little mail was sent and usually it didn't offer comped rooms. (I always got comped rooms by calling a host). Last time I stayed there I ran about 45k through the VP machines on a 3 night stay.

    Experience the excitment of Las Vegas this spring while enjoying quality only Hilton can provide. This special $49.00* package includes room accomodations for two nights, 2 tickets to see the fabulous Scintas, 2 buffets or $25 off dinner for 2 at Benihana and 2 $5.00 match plays! Come experience all the Las Vegas Hilton has to offer this spring! Call VIP services and ask for the Exciting Las Vegas package. (800) 727-5111 for reservations

    *Plus tax. 2 night minimum. Subject to availability and may not be combined with any other offer or event. Valid for one room anytime from March 1, 2001 to May 28, 2001. One time use only. Offer is non-transferable. Must be 21 years of age. Show tickets subject to cancellation or substitution. Additional nights at prevailing rates. Hilton Honors Points not available for this promotion. Gambling problem? (800) 522-4700


    This is a great deal considering I haven't been to the Las Vegas Hilton in a year and a half and I have very little play there. It appears weekends are included in this offer making it that much better. If the room rate wasn't good enough, the extras make this a great deal.

    Well it looks like a good offer and it is until you compare it to what I used to get for the same play. I used to play about 10k per day through the machines here. This got me a suite and a gold card good for food in all of thier restaurants with no limits. Now I'm back in a standard room with only a $100 limit on food.
