We are going on a trip to Las Vegas so what I did was put a post for coupons for the LV area. I posted a request on the LV Craigslist, as I did the same when we planned on visiting San Diego. I know lots of locals dont use car rentals or hotel coupons too often so they sent whatever they had. It was so easy and free. You can do this for any place you visit, just go to craigslist.org - to that particular city and post.

Hi, We just moved to Vegas and there is plenty to do here with kids. I don't have any coupons for you, sorry, just some ideas. If you've been here before you probably know about the Bellagio fountains and Treasure Island pirate show out front of the casinos. We find something free to go to each weekend and explore the city by scouring the papers and listening to the radio. They range from Balloonapalooza to a symphony orchestra and an art show. Also, are you bringing your dog? There are plenty of dog parks here and meetups with your breed once or twice a month. We meet with the Daschound Meetup Club who are really friendly. :hugs: If you let me know the dates you will be here I can keep and ear out for the local buzz.

It is a good idea but I do not recommend anyone do this for the Orlando/Walt Disney World area. If one person does this then there will be hundreds on the Orlando website. It is a good place to find tickets though.
