Which is better, the 2008 Las Vegas Entertainment Book, the American Casino Guide, or the Pocketbook of Values

Aubrey A asked:

We are going to Vegas in March and I am trying to decide if it is worth my while to buy one of these, and if so, which one. We don’t rent a car so we spend our entire trip on the strip. The main places we go to eat are the Rio Buffet, the Spice Market Buffet, Sherwood Forest Cafe, Quark’s bar, and any other buffet at one of the hotels on the south end of the strip. I want to try the Excalibur buffet, but I’ve read a lot of bad reviews.

We plan on going to the Adventuredome, Star Trek Experience, the Shark Reef, the Dolphin Habitat, watching the Masquerade floats, etc. We will really only be gambling at Excalibur or nearby, and I may entertain eating somewhere downtown one day if there is a good coupon.

Which one would be better? I noticed that the Entertainment book has coupons for A free admission to the Star Trek Experience and a free admission to the Adventuredome. That’s like $50 in savings, right?

Any help would be appreciated!

  1. It all depends on what coupons you are trying to get. I used American Casino guide on my last trip and saved at least $150. It wasn’t free but more than worth the $9 price tag from Amazon. . It had tons of tips for Vegas and over 140 pages of coupons. The link shows you all the coupons included in the 2008 edition.
    Hope this helps in making your decision.

  2. I have all three:

    IMO the best is the Las Vegas Advisor’s POV – The $50 coupon for the Palms, by itself more than pays for the $37 membership

    But, I use a lot of ACG coupons as well.

    They are both more than worth the cost.

    POV coupons

    2008 ACG coupons
    also available from Amazon.com

    2008 Entertainment
    Coupon G6 – is a 2-4-1 for Star Trek
    Coupon G22 – is a 2-4-1 for the Adventuredome at CC

    Other places to find coupons – funbooks – promotions

    “What’s On” – the LV in-room magazine – Most LV magazines have some coupons. What’s On usually has the best of them.

    Fremont Street Experience – FSE coupons are available from the FSE office at 425 Fremont Street, 2nd floor of the parking garage next to Walgreens. IMO these are far and away the best “free” coupons.

    >>I may eat downtown
