5/5-5/6 ALL THE WAY [LIVE!] Low Rolling Coupon Run Trip Report

Hello VMB,

There will be an active trip report from Saturday 5/5 @ 5AM PST to Saturday Evening 8 PM PST which is approximately 16 hours. It will be immediately followed by a semi-active trip report running from Saturday 8:01PM PST to Sunday ~3-4 PM PST depending on how much Vegas fatigue has settled in.

TRAVEL: Southern California -> Las Vegas
LODGING: AirBnB in Sun City
THEME: EXTREME LOW ROLLING COUPON RUN
BANKROLL: $800
REALISTIC LOSS LIMIT: $400..I really hate leaving with nothing
AGE: MILLENIAL UNDER 30

Will attempt to post photos and videos of all of the casinos that I visit. I will try to track how much and which coupons I have won via this spreadsheet

Please feel free to follow along. I am hoping that I’ll at least break even (if not strike it rich) during this short trip report. I'm actually staying in Vegas until Tuesday but won't be able to have a live trip report.

I am planning on visiting Henderson, Boulder Highway, and North Las Vegas casinos. The second half of the trip report will feature casinos west of the strip and some of the casinos near the strip (and downtown).

 

As a person also under (just under, as my boyfriend likes to remind me) 30, I applaud you! I have wanted to take a trip like this, but I love Vegas too much to do just "x hour" run from San Diego.

Have a blast, eat good food, and win some money!

 

Don't forget the WIN cards at Circus Circus ($30 for $45), NYNY ($20 for $30) and MB ($20 for $30). I paid $70 total for these three and ended up cashing out $210 playing them all at craps pass line.

 

I will be actively following your TR, then transitioning to semi-actively as my bride adds more items to my weekend "honeydew" list!

I wish you a wonderful adventure!

RICHARD

 

Finally driving off a little bit behind schedule - here’s a photo of what it looks like outside right now.




Vegas here we go!

 

beautiful view of the sunrise. Watching the sun illuminate the desert is always a great sight for me. It also signals that I'm about to be in Las Vegas woohoo!

 

I can feeling your anticipation

Jeff

 

Love me some junk food!

 

I stopped here last time just to check out to place and I found a mini craps table at Buffalo Bill’s. I love craps and it’s fun to not have to chuck the dice so far so headed back here for a super quick session.

VMB Post Part #5

First Stop - Longhorn Hotel and Casino



I came here once before and it was definitely a big contrast to some of the newer casinos. Definitely a little bit rougher than some of the million dollar joints.



Coupon : $5 Matchplay
Coupon : Free Ace
Blackjack
Buy In : $20.00
Cash Out: $26.50



Bought in with $20.
Hand #1 - dealer busts with a 23 and I have an 18
Hand #2 w match play - dealer has a six whole card; I stand on a 14. Dealer flips over a 2 (8), 7(15), and....6 for that 21. I lose
Hand #3 Free Ace - dealer skips me first for the Ace and then deals a JACK OF SPADES for the free blackjack
Cash out with $27.50 with $1 tip for dealers

Coupon : Pay $5; Get $10 Free Play
Slot: Invaders from Planet Moo-Lah
Buy In : $5($10.00)
Cash Out: $0.60


I don’t typically do well with slots but figured I would try it out. Lost $9.40 with no major wins.

Notes : longhorn kinda cleaned up
Not as shady looking as last time but definitely still a dive


Second Stop - Sam's Town Casino




Coupon : $10 Freeplay Slots
8/5 Triple Play Bonus Poker at Winchester Bar

Buy In : $20.00 + $10.00 Freeplay
Cash Out : $46.25



As I was trying to get this machine to work, I accidentally played my first hand without meaning to. I was dealt two tens and drew a trip, two pair, and a full house! What luck! It put me up for the session.

 

Any idea what a Whammy represents on the wheel? Would you win nothing?

 

Good job so far!

 

I have been to the Longhorn once in my life and they gave me a Grandma’s Cookie for signing up for the slot club. Free, and my choice of flavor; just like if someone had recently thrust their boot through the front of the vending machine.

 

Bighorn Casino


Small locals casino - a bit smoky and a lot of interesting characters. Lots of paycheck cash outs



Coupon: $5 Matchplay Blackjack
Buy In : $5.00
Color Up: $7.00

First one was win but the pit boss decided to give me a free ace which I lost LOL he asked me how to say fuck you in my native language


Coupon: $10 Play/Pay; Get $20 Freeplay
Game: Stinkin Rich ($1.00)
Cash In : $10.00 ($20.00)
Cash Out : $8.10

Notes: stinkin rich didn’t do well for me haha only recouped $8.10 from $20 of free play

 

Thanks for what you shared! It was fun to see places I haven't visited yet. I can't tell for sure on the Emerald Island wheel but it looks like $10 free play is the most common prize? And is it all freeplay or is there also $10 food credit and stuff like that?
