Normally with all the rooms in Vegas reservations are not normally a problem.  The slowest time of year is between Thanksgiving and Christmas when you can always get a great deal.  During New Years, any big convention or sporting event,  the town is usually all booked .  However even during peak periods you can always find something if you persist in calling or (better yet) call early.  Weekend rates average about 25% higher than Sunday-Thursday are normally in effect on Friday and Saturday nights.  This occurs because of the large California weekend crowd.

The strip normally fills up first during busy periods, and even the hotels with rooms available may jack up their standard rates.  Specials are usually still honored during these periods so it pays to stay informed.  If you must go during a peak period without advanced planning,  the local off strip favorites like Gold Coast, Sams Town, Boulder Station and Palace Station are usually a good choice.  All offer free shuttles to the strip, and they became favorites by doing a good job with food and rooms at reasonable rates.

Shopping around for the best airfare deals can really pay off, and this is usually a big chunk of your vacation money.  With so many fares and deals going on,  you never know if the person sitting next to you on a plane paid more, less, or nothing for the exact same ride.

There are a few ways to pay absolutely nothing for your flight, these include frequent flyer tickets, free tickets from being bumped, special deals for travel agents or other insiders, 2 for 1 promotions, getting your company to buy you a ticket, and special coupons and promotions.

When you are not flying for free, at least do everything possible to earn free future flights.  This includes joining the frequent flyer programs, getting yourself bumped when time permits, and having a credit card which provides frequent flyer points whenever it is used.  You also want to be informed about special coupons and deals when they become available.

Next best thing to flying free, is to pay less than all those other people on your flight.  Now besides the normal mixture of airfares and package deals you find when traveling to any location, Las Vegas has some unique deals.  The casinos themselves fight for your business just like the airlines do.  When business is slow this may mean they will offer free rooms or free tournaments to a number of customers.  If you are even a moderate gambler you can often get free rooms or cut the hotel bills in half.  There are many special Las Vegas packages which include air, hotels, meals, and cash bonuses.

No one source will always get you the best travel deal, in Travel Valet you will get a list of good sources to use in selecting your vacation plus all the tricks for getting free rooms.

This list is part of Mr Vegas,  free software you may use and copy for your friends.  A much larger version is included with Travel Valet along with more information on bargains.

Most of the smaller rental car companies (normally the best values) are not located directly at the airport.  The companies which typically have the best rates are identified in Travel Valet, but it is always better to call a few.  Since the airport is so close to the strip in Vegas, it is often better to take taxis to and from the airport and rent your car from your hotel. A few hotels also offer free shuttle service to and from the airport.

Do you need a rental car?

If you do not mind walking a little, and plan to stay in Vegas then no.  I rent a car about half the time, but always if you are taking a non gambler who wants to poke around and shop.

Best way to get from the airport to your hotel?

When you step off your plane in Las Vegas there will be several transportation options available.  What to do depends on your patience level and the number of people you are traveling with.

1 Person - Try Bell Trans, Lucky 7, or Grey line. All of them are $3.25

plus tip or so per person to the strip hotels and about $1 more for downtown.  If the little bus is not right there when you step outside the airport, the wait can be 15-30 minutes in which case I always take a taxi (my patience level is pretty low).

2 People - Same thing although its becoming less of a bargain.

3 or more - Always take the taxi or rent a car. Since the airport in Las Vegas is very close to the strip a cab ride is only about $12

Free Shows:

The Mirage and its sister hotel Treasure Island draw large crowds on the strip by offering excellent shows absolutely free.

The famous Mirage volcano and white tigers, and the Treasure Island pirate show should not be missed.  Treasure Island shows run every 90 minutes beginning at 4:30 PM.  The show features a sea battle between two ships.  You will actually see one of the ships sunk .

Mirage tigers are indoors right near the main entrance across from the gift shop. The tigers are magnificent animals and also are used in the Siegfried & Roy show.

The volcano goes off every 15 minutes after dark until about 1 AM. You can avoid the crowds by watching from across the street at Harrahs.

Where to Eat in Las Vegas

Any veteran LV traveler will tell you that food is simply not a problem in Las Vegas.  Everywhere you look you will be bombarded with low cost food offers.  Natives often complain they cannot afford to cook at home.  Cruise up and down the strip and you will see signs advertising steak and lobster dinners for $6.95, $0.75 drinks, $0.99 Shrimp cocktails and other impossible sounding deals.

Casinos typically lose money on the food to attract gambling customers.  Gambling is simply too profitable for them to risk losing a customer to someone elses $4 buffet. With dirt cheap prices common, we focus on looking for high quality food at reasonable prices.  While there are many great deals available the following stand out from the crowd.

Where to eat:

Buffets -	Rio Suites, Mirage, Palace Station

Chinese -	Gold Coast 24 Hours

Pizza -	Mirage and Golden Nugget at California Pizza Kitchen My Favorite

Indian food -	Gandhi (Paradise & Flamingo)

Hamburgers	Gold Coast

Breakfast - Rio Suites (includes fresh squeezed orange juice) and large variety of goodies with premium food like smoked salmon and eggs benedict. Best super cheap bargain is Circus Circus with fresh squeezed OJ and good variety. Downtown try the Horseshoe which is famous for its bargain ham and egg special.

Lunch - Try one of the wonderfully unique pizzas at the California Pizza Kitchen at the Mirage or Golden Nugget.  Examples include Thai chicken, Peking duck, Tandoori chicken, and several nice vegetarian combos.  Any of the buffets listed above are also a good choice for lunch or dinner depending on your appetite.

Dinner - Both Palace Station and Gold Coast are local favorites.  Palace Station offers a King Crab legs dinner often ranked as the best value in Vegas. Gold Coast has many good food values including a 5.95 T-Bone Steak dinner and excellent chinese food.  On the strip try the pizza at the Mirage in California Pizza Kitchen.

For the gourmets who value quality and are looking for a great meal try Spagos at Caesars Palace and Hugos downtown at the Four Queens.

In a hurry or hate to stand on line, try the food courts at the Riviera or Fitzgeralds.  Each has several small food booths.  Fitzgeralds features a Dunkin Donuts always great for the quick breakfast when you tire of buffets.

Tip: Avoid eating at peak periods. All the places we have discussed are very popular, but the lines can be easily avoided. Remember Las Vegas is a 24 hour city.

Gambling List
MR VEGAS

Free Travelers Information Kit

Copyright 1994 by Jim Tolliver

All rights reserved.

Sure someone has to pay for all those lights in Vegas, but it doesnt have to be you.  Gambling is exciting, addictive, and a little dangerous. You will enjoy yourself more if you study the games, avoid the common mistakes, and maintain your self control.  The casino has a small edge in most games, and over time they will usually win.  They love to see people go nuts doubling their bets,  borrowing money, wildly tapping the ATM machines and Credit cards, and trying to live the high roller dream.  You can protect yourself and still have fun by understanding the games and knowing the best bets in the casino.

In Travel Valet we go into detail about the specific games and strategy for winning at Slots, Blackjack, Craps, Poker, and Roulette.  In Mr Vegas we will discuss a few general strategies.

1.	Limit you losses	Decide how much to risk at the start and stick to it no matter what.  Let your spouse or a friend hold your wallet if you have no will power.  Also quit if you score big, and spend some time watching others gamble to learn from their mistakes.  I watched my brother (a compulsive gambler),  turn $200 into $9000 playing craps at the Stardust in LV a few years ago.  Sadly he was broke two hours later.  Why?  He refused to quit.

2.	Time	Time favors the casino. The small edge of 1-5% the casino has on most of the games means your best chance to win is to play for a short time.  The shorter the time the more luck becomes a factor.  Small consistent bets over time will also be less effective than if you make one big bet.  A good compromise might be 1/2 your gambling money on one big bet when you are lucky and the rest in small bets.  If you want to gamble for long periods you need to play only the games with the smallest house edge.

3.	Pick the right game	Two casino games which can be consistently beaten are Poker and Blackjack.  Both take a great deal of skill, and need to be mastered before you can hope to beat them on a regular basis.

To win at blackjack requires you to be mathematically oriented. You should read a few books and memorize the basic strategy which tells you the correct (hit, stand, split, double down) way to play any cards. Card counting is also important, and requires you to track and assign a point value to all cards you can see. There is a very simple form of card counting which does not require you to keep a point count but has the same advantages, it is described in Travel Valet

Poker involves people skills, patience and experience.  To win consistently involves serious study and practice.  Play only low limit games until you reach a point where you win consistently.  Las Vegas has lots of local people who play every day, with infinite patience they may sit there (collecting dust) until that pair of aces shows up.

Slots have become the biggest money maker and the most popular attraction in most casinos.  Besides getting lucky you can increase your chances of winning by following a few simple strategies.  Accurate statistics on payout percentages are kept and published,  which you can use to select the machines you should be playing.  Finding the right machine is your key to winning .

4.	Luck	Luck is one of those things we all know exists, but no one really understands. The best strategy for luck is to take advantage of it by playing more when you are lucky,  and quitting entirely when it your are not.  If you lose 4 hands in a row at Blackjack the books all say your chance to lose the next is 50%.  In real life you will lose the next hand much more than half the time.  Try to gauge the level of your luck when you play, in certain games like craps you can even bet against yourself during periods where your luck is turning bad.

5.	Comps and Ratings	If you gamble at even a moderate level you deserve credit for your play.  Casinos in Las Vegas are much more generous with free shows, food, and rooms than other gambling resorts. Like airline frequent flyer miles, your rating will get you further if you concentrate on building your points at one favorite place.  The $1 slot or $10 table game player will get very little from the more expensive places like Mirage and Caesers (perhaps a few buffets) while the same action might rate a free room at the low to medium hotels like Stardust or Horseshoe.  Of course you always want to stay at a place you enjoy and feel comfortable with, but a good comp policy for your level of gambling is an important benefit, and should guide your decision on where to play.
