Newkirk’s Notes And Members Mania

Newkirk’s Notes and Members Mania is now part of our AccessVegas.com Premium Insiders Advantage, where we guarantee to answer premium subscribers questions professionally and share the help with fellow premium subscribers.

In just the past few weeks, Insiders Advantage members have learned how to “fool” the comp computers into thinking that you are a more valuable player than you are, got the low-down on all the coming holidays regarding how busy they are, whether to come or not, and what to do to maximize The Strip experience on New Years Eve, and learned a super-valuable tip that will virtually assure quick recovery from anything left in a cab here. That and much more!

This and many other benefits are available to our Insiders Advantage subscribers. Please click here to view all benefits, including access to our exclusive “no coupon needed” Vegas Super Secret Specials Spreadsheet, which we guarantee will save you the cost of the membership!
