Anyways, just imagine how many matchplays, etc one could get if they were on the back of UNLV ticket Stubbs?
I moved to Vegas in 2009. I didn't drive first couple years. I took public transportation just as I had in Phillly. I also took a course at UNLV, not really related to Advantage play or anything, just a course I wanted to take. benefit was a student ID. Monthly RTC bus pass was half price with student ID. RTC passes were already much lower than Phila $65 compared to over $100. At half price I was paying a dollar a day for transportation cost. Vegas public transportation is actually pretty good, with the exception of the crowded deuce. Buses run ontime. The only reason I eventually started driving (or my partner driving me), was because it was time consuming, especially with connections. Like a trip to Sunset Station or South point would take 2 buses and connecting time for over an hour to get there, when by car both were 15-20 minutes.

I also hit up the library at UNLV with my ID. I guess you don't need an student ID to get into the library, it is open to public. But I think I did need an ID to view Grosjeans book at the library, which I wanted to do.

I was still building my BR in those days, so if there were MP's available I didn't know about, my loss. I did buy the coupon books back then every year. Have stopped doing that a while ago. Now about the only MPs I get my hands on are from showing boarding pass for return flights to Vegas after one of my trips. $40-$50 bucks in EV, depending what EC is giving at that particular time
