Free Stuff In Las Vegas

WWE Raw Review – June 27, 2011

The question on my mind is how much bad “comedy” are we going to have to sit through.

As always, feel free to comment below and give your thoughts. Since we weeded out all the mouth-breathers last week, maybe I can use three syllable words this week…yay!

-As mentioned, we are LIVE! from Las Vegas, NV (home of hookers, drugs and cash…and that’s just the visiting NBA players).

-The returning Shawn Michaels kicks us off (with full entrance of course) because, hey, he’s got a reality show to pimp, man. HBK kisses up to the live crowd for a bit and then gets down to the business of plugging stuff.

CM Punk has heard enough and reminds everyone he is leaving because they don’t appreciate him enough. Shawn says they are a lot alike and Punk agrees. Shawn: “We both don’t smoke, drink, do drugs-” Punk: “Anymore.” Awesome stuff.

HBK can’t handle the truth and lays out Otunga with Sweet Chin Music, which causes the GM to book Punk in the first match of the night. The wheel lands on mystery opponent and Michaels lays out McGillicutty as well, giving us…Kane.

CM Punk vs. Kane Kane tosses Punk to ringside right away and drops him on the crowd barrier then takes him back inside while a LOUD “CM Punk” chant erupts. Think the smarks are on to his act? Kane hits a dropkick to the face for two and delivers a side slam for a near fall. Punk kicks Kane in the head to break and lays in a beating in the corner.

Kane decides to stop selling and hits a big boot but gets caught heading up top and Punk tries for a superplex. Kane manages to thwart that and dump him to the mat, so Punk says “enough of this crap” and takes a talk for the count out. Winner by Count Out: Kane

-Cole tries to justify the crappy finish by saying Punk doesn’t want to get hurt. That’s fine and all but why didn’t Punk get his spots in? He got a couple kicks and punches but was otherwise cannon fodder for Kane. Remember Vince, this isn’t 1999 and Kane isn’t the one you’re pushing *.

Pennsylvania and Beyond: Las Vegas Freebies - How to Get Free ...

If you are an avid gambler you may tend to blow more money than you should right at the beginning of your stay, and then be left with a very limited budget. But, even if you are a modest gambler, you will find it hard to keep to a tight budget once you arrive in Sin City: the many attractions are enticing and expensive and, if you really want to treat yourself, cash will leave your wallet or purse faster than you think.

1 - Freebies through the Players' Card. If you are newbie you must sign up for a players' card in every casino chain you walk into, from Wynn's to the MGM group to Caesar's Entertainment, to Boyd Gaming and so on; every single time you sign up for a new players card you will be given something for free, such as free play or a T-Shirt all the way to 2 free buffets (by the way, free play means that you will be given a gambling credit, usually from 10 to 25 dollars). If you have already signed up to all the players' card programs, you can still choose your casino chain and play at that one only, in order to accumulate points to reach the next 'threshold of freebies'. However, be careful to ask what you will get and how much you will have to play before you get it: in many places it's just not worth playing for anything that they can offer you afterwards (in fact, the best you can get is a free room only during specific dates.

2 - Local newspapers and free local magazines. Although some local newspapers target mainly locals when it comes to freebies in Sin City, you can still find worthwhile coupons for buffets and restaurants. Once we found a buffet coupon for 1 dollar per person! Some free local magazines with coupons are 'Showbiz', 'What's on' and '24/7'. You can find these magazines pretty much everywhere around town, even somewhere in your own resort.

3 - Coupon Books. These are actual 'books', sometimes named coupon books and other times named 'fun books', full of coupons with discounted entrances to events, restaurants, shows and stores. You can get these coupon books either at check-in (each casino chain has its own coupon book but you will not receive it at 'high-end' resorts such as Bellagio's, Wynn's, Four Seasons!) or you can find the 'general ones' pretty much anywhere in the whole city, including inside cabs or taxis. Not all of them have coupons worth using, but there is always something for everybody, even if it's just a free drink or a free entre.

4 - Hotel 'promo codes'. These are promotions which are identified by the marketing department of each records via different 'codes'; they refer to online promotions and you can find hundreds of them every time. These promo codes offer discounted rooms, discounted shows, discounted or free meals, free spa entrances and so on. They have a limited life-span and expire all the time, so the key is to keep an eye out for new ones just before you are about to plan your trip. Do not be fooled by the many websites saying that they have access to special promo codes: it is not the case at all and you can get all the promo codes you need by signing up to each casino marketing website and allow them to send them to you by email. The only 2 websites with 'unique' (and decent) promo codes for this city are i4vegas and Smartervegas; the very best website where you can find a collection of all the latest and very best promo codes is 'fatwallet' (make sure you type the exact deals you want, specifying the city) and get to the latest thread).
