[vpFREE] Re: LV Advisor 2010 Coupons

Amen to that! Counterfeiting LVA coupons is useless if the rules for using them are followed. This is just a smokescreen. At Ellis Island. each place mat has a $5.00 coupon!

C'mon now if someone is going to counterfeit dont you think they're going to target a higher denom coupon for a casino with many more table games? It seems the counterfeit excuse is used when casinos want to yank the promotion and get both themselves and the publisher off the hook with their customers.

I read the thread on Las Vegas Advisor where Anthony Curtis said the casinos didn't want the matchplays. Can someone please send him the 2010 American Casino Guide which has more matchplay coupons then ever before? I guess Steve Bourie didn't get that memo. :-)

The (useless) monthly issues have consistently been late and have gotten thinner each month due to reduced casino advertising. Refund requests have been ignored. Can someone please put Casino Journal Publishing on the casino death watch?
