In this discussion between Munaf Manji and Steve Fezzik, the focus is on how visitors can maximize their Las Vegas experience through free comps, discounted meals, and other rewards. Fezzik, a seasoned Las Vegas expert, shares tips on using the Las Vegas Advisor Member Rewards book and strategies for scoring free drinks at casinos. Below is a detailed summary of the conversation, providing insights into how visitors can make the most of their Vegas trip without overspending.

Getting Started with Vegas Comps (0:00 - 0:57)

Munaf kicks off the conversation by introducing a popular topic among listeners: how to earn comps in Las Vegas. This subject has been discussed on the Fezzik Focus podcast before, but today Fezzik dives deeper into the methods visitors can use to earn rewards, including free meals, beverages, and even room upgrades.

Fezzik explains that earning comps in Vegas is not just about gambling but about knowing how to leverage available resources. Visitors can score valuable perks if they know where to look and how to navigate the casino system.

The Las Vegas Advisor Member Rewards Book (1:00 - 2:36)

Fezzik introduces his "secret weapon" for getting incredible value in Las Vegas: the Las Vegas Advisor Member Rewards book, curated by Anthony Curtis. This coupon book offers a wide variety of deals across Vegas, including free slot play, discounted meals, and match play opportunities.

Fezzik explains how the coupon book works, flipping through it to reveal offers such as:

$10 free slot play at the Four Queens casino
Buy-one-get-one-free dinner at Magnolia's restaurant
$25 match play at the Golden Gate casino

Fezzik stresses the value of this book for anyone visiting Vegas, estimating that you could easily rack up $250 worth of savings in just a few days. By using the offers strategically, visitors can enjoy significant discounts and freebies throughout their trip.

Key Takeaway: The Las Vegas Advisor book offers a comprehensive way to earn comps and discounts across various casinos and restaurants. Whether it’s free slot play or meal deals, using the book can significantly enhance your Vegas experience.

Maximizing Points for Free Perks

Beyond the coupon book, Fezzik emphasizes the importance of accumulating points through slot play and video poker machines. He highlights casinos like Jackson’s Klondike, where earning 100 club points can get you a comped steak special. These points can also be redeemed for other perks like free rooms, meals, and additional slot play.

Fezzik advises visitors to focus on playing at casinos that reward players generously for accumulating points, as this is one of the easiest ways to earn freebies. Even if you're not a high roller, consistent play can result in a range of comps that add value to your stay.

Scoring Free Drinks in Vegas (2:37 - 2:48)

One of the most iconic perks of gambling in Las Vegas is the free drinks. However, not everyone knows the best way to ensure that these drinks remain free without any surprises on their bill. Fezzik offers a simple but effective strategy for ensuring your drinks stay comped while gambling.

Fezzik suggests heading to a bar with video poker machines, putting in $20, and ordering your drink. The bartender will bring a bill, typically showing the drink's price (around $10.95), but it will be marked as "comped." The key to keeping the process smooth is to tip the bartender $5, signaling that you understand the system and are ready to tip for good service.

By following this approach, visitors can enjoy complimentary drinks while playing video poker or other games, as long as they maintain good rapport with the staff through tipping.

Key Takeaway: Always tip your bartender to ensure that your free drinks remain free. Fezzik recommends a $5 tip for each comped drink to keep the service running smoothly.

Final Thoughts

Fezzik’s advice offers a practical, no-nonsense guide for maximizing comps and rewards in Las Vegas. Whether it’s using the Las Vegas Advisor Member Rewards book or knowing how to approach bartenders for free drinks, these strategies can help visitors make the most of their trip without overspending.

By accumulating points through slot play, using coupon deals strategically, and tipping appropriately, Vegas visitors can save hundreds of dollars over a few days. Fezzik estimates that a short stay in Vegas using these tips could easily result in savings worth $250 or more.

If you’re planning a trip to Vegas and want to get the most out of your visit, Fezzik’s tips are invaluable for ensuring you enjoy all the perks that come with the city without breaking the bank.

I hate to chime in here but when I was in Vegas all those weekends for NFL betting we used to give the cocktail waitresses a buck or two and they were ecstatic. Maybe Fezzik is telling us that times have changed and we should give them that 5-spot.

Fezzik is brilliant and he is right most of the time with his methods and theories.

I have had other gambling associates through Casino connections all mention how Vegas has changed drastically and long gone are those. 49 cent steak breakfasts at the Longhorn and Showboat.

Even the Stardust was great for comps back in the day.

I used to get Suites at the Wynn but I had to play poker 6 hours each Saturday and Sunday and yes, they DID track my "action". Not how much I won or lost, but the actual ass-hours-in-the-seat I played. One time the Poker Manager ( a woman whose name escapes me now) told me I was 40 minutes short of the 12 hours on a weekend. I asked her if I could make it up then( on-the-spot) and it was early morning Monday, taking a chance the flight back to LAX would be a tad late, and she did say YES. Sounds great, right? But there was only 2-4 Texas Hold em game with 4 players, two of whom I suspected were Prop players. The wife got angry with me but I was able to get Concierge to grant me 13 hours of play the next weekend. I had lost 4K that weekend on the NFL and lost 650 Poker, a real bad weekend.

Those Poker players were far tougher than the "fish" I used to dominate in Los Angeles Poker rooms. The higher the Limits the tougher the games. Also the higher the Limits the bigger Assholes they were, except there was no danger of throwing hands like the entry level games.

I had tinkered with the idea of doing NFL weekends again, but would be spending my winnings, IF I won, on expensive meals and rooms. Might not be able to eek out a profit, or enough to justify 26 weekends a year. Thoughts???
