For California residents: Free, free, free!

January 1, 2009 |  8:41 am

Heroshotnew The casinos in Primm (you drive past them on the way to Las Vegas) have been increasingly aggressive in courting California residents to stop there to stay and play instead of completing the trip to Vegas. Now, Buffalo Bill's is offering two free weeknights to  California residents between Jan. 4 and Jan. 30. The offer includes two free nights stay at Buffalo Bill’s (Sunday through Friday reservations only), $25 in free slot play, two free tickets to the Sin City Kitties  burlesque cabaret production at the Whiskey Pete’s showroom, and two free concert tickets (acts coming through during this period include Natalie Cole and Michael McDonald). Further details and booking are available here. I suspect this will be a sign of the sort of bargains people can expect from Vegas as well in 2009.

These are the types of deals that would work too... Why is it most vegas casino's havent figured that out yet?

Have they not felt the pinch to the point that they feel like casual gamblers, (One who usually pays for a portion of his room, while losing maybe 2-4x the full room rate) are good group to have back in town?

The goal should be to fill the hotel. If it takes a free hotel room deal to fill up all the rooms, well, why not? There are plenty of other ways to get revenue out of free room guests.

Really interesting. I look forward to hearing more about your research and I am looking forward to reading the article.
