They usually have about 3 different ones at least so I can cherry-pick, but I sometimes end up with multiples. In the afternoon you can get the ones for the next day. I live 4.5 miles from Aliante so it's easy.


Vegas makes less money then the tracks and they give it away free,

Are they paying a commission to the track for each sale This I don't know.

You can get lots of free PPs from Brisnet, like the one I posted where they had PPs for every horse on Wynn's Ky Derby future bet list. 87 pages!

I have no idea what kind of deals they have with the tracks or the DRF. The ideal situation is... if you want someone to come to your betting establishment and make bets, and you make $$ on each bet, then don't charge the customer for parking, programs or betting tools. Seems to work here.

One of the many perks of living in Las Vegas and being a horseplayer. Free forms, scratch sheets, drinks, comped meals. I also
lived in Aliante but that casino wasn't quite finished being built by the time I hightailed it out of sin city. I lived off of
Aliante Parkway and Ann Road.

MIke

At least they give something , something is better then nothing,

Remember when one goes to the track, one is out almost 20 bucks before his first bet.

Admission

program

form

coffee

parking

Even with discounts, one is still out $10.00 or so, on line betting has made it so easy to play, we all know gambling money is different then living expenses , one only has so much to bet.

Every dollar counts.

At home or in a casino, it's free at most sports books

That's true but if every casino had it their way, every square foot of space would be devoted to slot machines
