How do I visit Vegas and get free stuff? I always gamble but pay top dollar for everything while losers get comped.

Adam Sacks, Esq. from California
Ted Responds:
1. Always use your players card at the slots, tables, and restaurants (and even the gift shop if they credit you for purchases there).

2. Be loyal. If you bring $3000 to gamble with for the weekend, you are wasting your time if you lose a couple hundred here, a couple hundred there…

Note: The complete answer including how to “trick” the casino computers into thinking you are a bigger player than you may really be and thus get them sending you better and better offers is available in our AccessVegas.com Premium Advantage version of this newsletter.

For about the price of a cup of coffee each month, Premium Advantage Members have access to our exclusive list of hundreds of “no coupon needed” dining deals up and down the Las Vegas Strip, plus enjoy even more tips and tricks to help you have a better Las Vegas experience while saving you money. We’re so sure you’ll benefit more than the modest price we ask, that we guarantee it!
