There is no need to pay for meals in Las Vegas.

Heading to Vegas but on a budget? No problem. Here are some tips on maximizing your Vegas value by getting comped meals at the hotels.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Be a player. Get a player's reward card at the hotel you are staying and do your gambling there. You can go to other casinos for drinks or dancing, but to maximize your comp points, keep your gambling to one place.
Step 2

Slots

Get your game on. Gamble. Slots, blackjack and video poker--all of these games will take your card and will earn you points toward your comps.
Step 3

Understand the comp. Comp is short for complementary. When you gamble with a player's card, you accumulate comp points that earn you meals. Once you have gambled a while (every casino has different standards for this) you will be able to hit the buffet for free, or even earn points for meals at finer restaurants (depending on you luck and budget).
Step 4

Table games

Understand the rating P is for player. Rated players or "high rollers" are people who gamble often and for higher stakes. The higher the stakes and frequency, the higher the rating. Rated players usually have casino hosts that offer everything from comped meals, to shows, to free stays at the hotel.
