As someone who travels to Las Vegas on a regular basis, I have learned a little tip over the years about seeing movies in the city while on vacation. If a movie comes out you want to see, do not run to the theater and pay for your admission. If you are staying at one of the hotels, chances are good you can get in to see the movie for free.
Before hunting for free tickets, there is something you need to know. From time to time, you might hear that the movie theaters inside of the Las Vegas casinos are separate from the properties in that they are owned by other people. While this is often true, it does not mean you cannot get deals on movies through the casino. Theaters make most of their money off of concessions. As long as they have hungry and thirsty people inside, they are going to make money.
Many of the major Las Vegas casinos have movie theaters attached to them. When you check in, take a look at the coupon book you have been given to see if there are any coupons for movies. You might find a coupon for buy-one-get-one-free. You also might find you have a coupon for a free movie without purchase. You can even check the in-house magazine near the front desk for coupons.
If you do not have one of these coupons in your welcome packet, check with the person at the front desk about the policy for free movie tickets through the resort. I have done this in the past and had free tickets handed to me. Other times, I have been told they are free through the pit boss, or other ways to acquire them. The most unusual occurance was when I was told by a clerk to go and check my email. While I was standing there, he emailed me a coupon code for free tickets.
I always use my player's club card while gambling. While other players are usually asking about comps like free rooms or meals, I will ask about movie tickets. It will often shock the bosses and lead to getting the tickets for little or no play. I have even had occasions in which the pit bosses got me the specific tickets I wanted instead of simple general passes. No waiting in line!
If you are a moviegoer like me, chances are good you have been on vacation when a big movie comes out. If that happens to you when in Las Vegas, remember these tips to see the movie for free. You might be surprised how easy it is to get free movie tickets in Sin City.

Post a CommentI didn't know that, thanks! My experiences with this sort of thing have always resulted in having to listen to a 2-3 hour pitch on how much you could benefit from buying what they're selling, before you are given the tickets.
I knew this one, but it is a great thing to share! ;)
