All you need is a little insider information.
But my awkward moment notwithstanding, Las Vegas is indeed a fantastic place for freebies and “near-bies” (that’s almost-freebies that come at a very low cost). In hindsight, my mistakes were numerous and I would play my proverbial hand a bit different these days. So I eagerly plunked myself down at a nickel slot machine, put in a dollar, and completed my gameplay in a matter of minutes.
The first time I visited Las Vegas, people were tripping over each other to tell me the hottest tips for scoring the ultimate freebie: alcohol! All I had to do, they assured me, was gamble just a little bit and the complimentary drinks would flow my way.
