2) Las Vegas, Nevada
If you are a regular poker player or Blackjack enthusiast, then you will likely already know the perks of having a rewards card at your favorite casino or hotel. While Las Vegas is notorious for its kitschy glory and tendency to suck your bank dry, many guests don’t realize that casinos and hotels are practically giving rooms, food, drinks, and entertainment away. For little to no cost, visitors of Sin City can enjoy the full Vegas package— given that they are of legal age— just by checking their email every once in a while. Even if you are not a regular gambler, Las Vegas resorts use discounted and free rooms as incentive to bring guests back. Think of it as a loyalty program. Chains such as Harrah’s, run a pretty consistent promotion that offers hotel rooms for approximately $49 per night. Don’t be fooled by the appeal of free items. The whole goal is for guests to find compromise in their budgeting and ultimately spend more money at the resort. Just be careful not to fall into the slot machine abyss.
