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
In the Las Vegas libraries the good gambling books were in the “special collections” section and you had to turn over ID to get the book and sit and read it. The copy machine charged double the price because of so many copies being run off on the gambling books.

The reason the books were in special collections was because broke ass people mutilated the books by tearing pages with pertinent information out of them. That was in the 90’s. Probably still the same today.
