(Newswire.net — June 10, 2017) — Las Vegas is one of the most exciting destinations in the world. Visitors love the neon lights, beautiful hotels and casinos, and all the glorious sun they can handle. Vegas is one-of-a-kind. And getting more expensive to visit every year.
Pre-2,000’s, Vegas was a whole different city. People traveled there for one main reason, to gamble. They would save their money all year, arrive in Vegas, plant themselves at their favorite casino game, and that was how they spent their vacation. The casinos loved it because they knew guests were there to gamble.
Now, Vegas is a major American city, with a whole new scene. While gambling still plays a role in tourism, it’s no longer the primary reason people come. With celebrity chefs opening new restaurants regularly, world-renowned live entertainment, exclusive shopping, and amazing off-Strip attractions, there’s a lot more to do in Vegas than gamble.
That doesn’t mean casinos stopped rewarding their gamblers. If you love to gamble and aren’t interested in Vegas’ other offerings than you need to know these money saving tips.
Tip #1: Sign up for a Player Rewards card. Casinos track every dollar you play through Player Rewards. Present your card to the dealer, or insert it into a slot or video poker machine before putting in your money. This way you’ll earn rewards on all your play.
In fact, the best way to maximize your rewards is to sign up for a hotel-casino’s rewards program before you book your room. This way, you can apply the room cost and any other purchases you make to your rewards. Imagine landing with a bunch of freebies waiting for you. Be sure to read the promo terms, so you know what you will be earning on each purchase.
Tip #2: Don’t play slots. Slots have the worst payout odds of all the casino games. Why? Because slots are the most popular casino game in Vegas, so casinos give them horrible payout odds. So what should you play? There are plenty of smart systems and strategies for every casino game. The best thing to do is learn the basic strategy for your favorite game. Educated players don’t always win, but they win more often than players who don’t fully know the game.
Tip #3: Don’t drink and gamble. That’s right, skip the cocktails if you plan on gambling. Vegas loves a drunk because they make poor decisions with their money. They overbet, play incorrectly, and chase their losses. Why do you think they give gamblers so many free cocktails? Play smart, play sober!
Pro Tip: Don’t gamble in the airport! The airport has the worst odds of anywhere in Vegas. Save your money until you get to your hotel.
Use these tips the next time you vacation in Vegas, and you’re sure to come away a winner!
