MY REPLY/THOUGHTS:

(1)In recent years, I've seldom used the gambling coupons. I'm not concerned about camoflage, but I did find myself torn between maximizing the coupons' EV (i.e., hitting and running)or showing some good faith by playing on(which quickly vaporizes a coupon's $ edge). For that reason, and because most of the gambling coupons required car or bus transportation from Strip hotels, it's been simpler to just skip the dilemma + save a lot of my time.

(2)I often travel to LV alone and usually rent a car. Therefore, I'd gladly forego all the gambling coupons if LVA could make 50%-off an alternative on the 2-for-1 food coupons. The LVA appears to be aware of that unmet singles' need because they have recently started to include 50%-off deals for some casinos. Why most casinos resist offering the 50%-off option to single diners has always mystified me.
I guarantee that I gamble more on solo trips than I do when my wife accompanies me. The whole idea of discount coupons is to get gamblers inside a casino. Therefore, why no accomodate the most gamble-inclined among us.

(3) Returning to the origin of this thread without repeating more than necessary, those of you who remember the LVA's original incarnation may also recall the columnist named "Flower" who wrote hilarious couponomy columns. I think that it was Flower who described finding "peppled" coupons on the pavement, steaming them in the shower, and then pressing them between the pages of a Gideon Bible so they'd look like new after they dried out. Truth or satire? Maybe someone out there can say.
