Prologue
As a Las Vegas bottom feeder, I have a habit / hobby / obsession of poring over Las Vegas information sources for any possible deal. I have never been a big gambler, so I was always particularly attuned to offers that did not demand long sessions of gambling in order to obtain a reward. Naturally, I could not help but notice that virtually all of Las Vegas' off-strip casinos dangled juicy offers to senior citizens, like 2-for-1 buffet offers, bingo promos, slot play multipliers, and the mother lode - free slot tournaments - in order to entice their golden patrons into their doors Mondays through Thursdays. These carrots had been dangled by casino marketing departments to a greedy public via such amplifiers as Jean Scott and Scot Krause, bloggers for the Las Vegas Advisor and the American Casino Guide, respectively, and for whom I truly have the utmost respect.
