My wife and I have used the MRB in 2002 and 2005 without any issues. The only downfall to using is that you have to carry the entire booklet with you, because you must tear the coupon out in front of someone where you are using it at.

Wow, that is a lot of work typing, but good info for the folks who go out west...good job..

I'd assume that was a copy/paste job, at least I hope. The book is great if you're planninga good amount of downtown/off-strip stops.

  of course its copy and paste lol    good catch vman, as well as noticing the preponderance of NON-strip benefits amongst the list of goodies.   That part I actually find attractive since my Vegas trips tend to always focus on avoiding all the monstrous Strip properties and instead spend all my time downtown or at the Orleans or the Stations.    I used to like Sams town, but nowadays I would be afraid to run into (or run over) Brb Dancer.....after spending so much time and hot air here on this forum, annoying certain people with my questioning of the integrity of Video Poker in general and focusing in particular on exposing the truth about Atlantic City's VP games, I would thing Byb Dancer would recognize who I am if I wheeled up on him or by him......or, one of my so-called "friends" in Vegas (remember, I used to live and work out there for a long time) might point out to Bab Dancer, "hey there goes that crippled loud mouth Da Burglar from your online Video Poker forum.  go watch him play and point out any and all mistakes he makes....hee hee" I;m easy to spot, since I carry around about 70% of the time a loose leaf notebook and jot down points and info from my playing sessions.   Put it all together from what I revealed about myself here and before you know it, Bub Dancer can have me wheeled right out the door of Sams out onto Boulder Highway in the middle of a cold (or hot) desert night with the coyotes, rattle snakes and hookers, and then where would I be?   right back in the pit of Atlantic City getting 39 "duds" in a row before I finally catch two pair......of course, maybe, on the other hand, Bib Dancer actually takes a liking to me because, afterall, when someone meets me in person, I am 100% likeable, and he decides to treat me to a Sams Pastrami Sandwich and a Snapple while he shows me his latest publication and asks my opinion.   A grand friendship blossoms from there and he learns I am not some eccentric moron but that, in fact, I know what I am doing when it comes to VP.    I think I just typed myself into going back to Sams town when I hit Vegas soon......!

Bob Dancer, I believe its B o b. What has he done to you to deserve you not spelling his name correctly? Are you really this petty and jealous in real life or just here? Do you have any friends? At all? I'm not talking people you work with, those who tolerate you in order to continue to collect a paycheck, but people that you can get together with and just hang out?  You really are a sad person, aren't you?

Who doesn't?It was a significant downgrade when all the 2-for-1 stations buffet coupons were changed to "cash paying guest."  (Actually, I'm not sure if the coupon changed or enforcement changed. Same negative result.) Used to be able to use one, and get 50% off when paying with points so we could both eat for about $4.50.  Now I have to pay cash, which is the same as buying both meals with points.  Now worthless to me.  Still a solid buy.  I get one printed guide in the mail every month.  There are single coupons in the gambling section worth more than the price of the coupon book+printed, monthly LVA.

I would figure that Bob is barred from most of those places, because his VP play is too strong, assuming they have positive EV paytables.
 
I have offered to buy Bob dinner and talk VP many times when I am out in Vegas, but it would be at a Strip casino, where he never goes. He always stands me up..

   Billyjoe, i did not realize B. Dancer was banned from certain Casinos.....when You say his play is "too strong" do you mean he is Uber-profitable, or is it because he is so well known as an Authority (perhaps "THE" Authority in some people's minds) that the casinos will treat him just like they would a card counter?     I am guessing that even though the positive EV games are thouroughly randomized, they would fear someone who they believe will NEVER EVER make a mistake.     I am just being "punny" with his name......if I run into (or over his toes lol) I will buy him a drink or three if he will discuss VP for five minutes with me too!
