Chasing bonuses

[shadroch]

Its a rare trip to Vegas that I don't have a couple hundred dollars in free play and or MPs lined up. I've given up on WIN cards as they are not worth my time on a short stay. While no longer a major part of my game, these extras go a long way towards my airfare and car rental costs.
Even if you only hit Vegas once or twice a year, try to time it for the end of one month/beginning of the next and use two months worth of offers for the trip.

Good point! Travel costs, even if you planned on them, cut into your EV even if it is great enough to nullify the expense. If your bonuses cover you travel & lodge expenses, the more EV you're taking home with you

It sounds like it would be worth getting a PO box in Vegas for mailers.

I currently have no player's club cards. Would it be better to have a LV address for a new card or an out of town address?

I'm not going to play rated bj so room comp's are not a consideration. But some discounted buffets and match play sound like it would be worth $40/year for a PO box. I'm usually in LV once a month for 2-3 days.

If you are going to play machines while rated, an LV address will generate different offers than an out of town address. Like KJ described, locals will get mostly gaming offers. A non-local will get some gaming offers, along with free or discounted rooms, meals, shows, and the like. Something to consider is that if you use an LV address, you may only be able to harvest a fraction of the offers you receive. Some of the offers will have date restrictions, as KJ mentioned above. Given that you're in LV just 2-3 days a month, it is plausible that you find yourself realizing the same amount of FP/MP as an out-of-towner, minus the free room.
