American Casino Guide - 2010 Edition

I purchase this publication each year. If you travel at all it lists all casinos in the country with helpful information about size, food options, and games at each location. If you use just a couple of the coupons in this book it pays for itself and if you use a good number of them you are saving its cost many times over.

This was okay, but some of the discounts we used from the last book were either missing or so much less that the book might not be worth it. The buy one get one free buffet at the Rio is now just 5 dollars off, that was the killer for me.

I was dissapointed with this book. It tries to cover everything about Casinos and gambling tips and the end result is that it provides very little in depth information about any particular casino. It also touts that it has valuable coupons. Most of the coupons are available free either on the internet or with casino coupon books that are readily available elsewhere. On the plus side there are good descriptions of casino gaming along with viable betting strategies. Overall, I wanted more detailed information on Casino attractions and deals. This book was not a good source of that type of information.

I first purchased The American Casino Guide after reading a Tripadvisor Forum on how useful and moneysaving it could be. After using it in Vegas on a 3 week trip I saved a lot of money with the 2 for 1 and match play coupons. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys saving money. I will be leaving for a month in Vegas and will have 2 books with me. Enjoy! ! !

Bought this book mainly for the 2-for-1 coupons for when I go down to Vegas with my wife, but the book itself relating to Casinos and how to play is excellent.

Great book... lots of very useful coupons in it. There are several hundred for Vegas... many of which are worthless (ie: the bogus Hooters free slot play) but there are several matchplays for strip casinos and the $20 free slot play at the Venetian pays for the book by itself. Also recommend checking out the buy one get one free coupon good at any of the Nathans locations for a delicious, cheap meal! Well worth the purchase price of this book!

This book is a good value for any visitor to Vegas (in particular). The book has some solid advice about many gambling games, although dont look here for winning advice on how to play poker or bets sports (two of the beatable games offered in a casino). This advice is great for the novice gambler, but someone interested in elevating their game will need to look deeper than this book. That said, the real reason to buy this book is the coupons. It is not too hard to make your money back on the purchase price of this book if you use just 2 or 3 of the right coupons. As stated earlier, however, the largest section of coupons is for Las Vegas, so it is the Las Vegas visitor who will have the easiest time recouping your investment in this book. Look at the coupons closely to see how they fit your intended 2011 travel schedule. It is worth noting that most of the Las Vegas coupons are for casinos away from the more popular South and Central Strip locations. In this regard, it is highly helpful to rent a car to take advantage of all of the Las Vegas coupons. A final, important note: the Sahara casino will be closing in early May. The 2011 American Casino Guide contains a $25 matchplay that will no longer be redeemable after early May, 2011. So, dont factor that coupon into the value of the guide unless you a headed to Vegas in the next month.

We figure we saved over $200 on our January trip to LV by using this book. My husband loves buffets but I dont feel their worth the money. So by using this books two for one coupons he gets to eat what he likes and I get to save some money on food. I plan on buying a book for every trip.

This book is still a good source of infomation on the casinos in the USA but the coupon section has really gotten thin over the last edition and the coupons are not as good. If you buy this book for the coupons every year, you may want to rethink purchasing for this year.

We all know that the only reason to buy this is for the coupons, not the info. It would be nice to have perforated coupon pages or at least an easier way to remove them. Its always a challenge to use these coupons as 75% of the places you present it to will say theyve never seen it before and probably cant accept it. You fight, argue, ask to speak to a manager and they finally allow you to use but make it sound like they are doing you a favor. One pit boss even dropped the membership card that you need to show with the coupons into the cash drop box at a craps table. I had to come back the next day to get it. I say the value of the book is declining because places like the Sahara ($25 match play) are closing. You can get your moneys worth out of it for sure but its not as easy as you think.
