Hi gang

I don't know if any of you have ever used the coupons from the restaurant com site, but I just got wind of a special code, that is only good (I think) until the end of January.

The certificates are good for a year, though. The way it works - most of the certificates are for $25 and cost $10. Each place has some limitation - sometimes must be $40 minimum bill to use the certificate, or use only at dinner time. Some only require $15 minimum, or a beverage purchase.

But if you put in the code 89500, it knocks off 60%. So your $25 certificate costs $4 instead of $10. You then print it out yourself.

I think there were about 120 restaurants, some are actually in popular locations! There's also links to a descriptive page for each restaurant.

Again - certificate good for a year, but the code maybe only through Tuesday.

Watch out, Joe - Hamburger Mary's is one of the listed restaurants!

Thanks. What a great tip. I already have enough coupons for Vegas, but I used it for other cities.

I thank you too! I found one of my favorites on their list and a couple that I now have a (cheap) excuse to visit.

I use them alot. I particularly like the one from the Blackjack Lodge. I've seen discount codes, but never 60%. Thanks Kes!

Don't get me started on you know what.<g>

Thanks, Kes.
I found several of our favorites.

I don't know what kind of deal they have going now, but here's my story...

So I was out partying tonight, and thought I'd better get home before Feb in order to get the coupons at the 60% off rate. It was about 10:30pm when I got home and got on the computer.

I went shopping at restaurant dot com and I picked 4 at Blackjack, 4 at Tillerman, and 1 at Carluccios for a friend a work. When I went to checkout, I noticed the 4 at Tillerman were free. They showed $0.00 for 4 coupons worth $25 each. So I went back to the list and found Rosemarys. It showed $10 each for the coupons, but when I clicked on restaurant and dining certificate details, it showed them at $0.00. So I added 4 of them to my cart. Then I started checking others. They all showed a price on the main listing, but when I went to the details, they showed zero cost. I started ordering 4 of everything that sounded half good to me. (4 was the max I could order of each. Some were limited to 2) When I tried a place called table 34, it showed them at $10 each. I didn't get those, and decided to check out while the getting was good. If there is any bad news in this deal, when I went to put in the discount code of 89500, it said that the code was expired. And with a little research I discovered the company is in the central time zone. My bad.

Bottom line, I got well over $2000 worth of coupons for only $50. I've printed up about 100 pages of coupons. I think I might have just finished my Christmas shopping for the year.

You got a great deal, and that's good because I see clothes shopping in your future if you use half of those coupons.

Wait, I don't understand. Did you get some for free, or not? I am easily confused today.

And I know that some of those coupons require a minimum purchase that might mean 2 people or more to get to the minimum. I will gladly volunteer to help you spend some of the coupons Assuming I get to Las Vegas this year (feeling poor, just paid our city and county taxes, yikes!)

By the way, someone told me never pay the full price at restaurant.com. They come out with new discounts every 3 weeks or so - those who bought will probably get an email. We can let the rest of you know if we do get notified.

Kes, I paid for two sets. I got about 25 sets for free.

And yes, I started looking back through my e-mails and they often give a discount code. I even found some for 60% off back in Sept of 2005. They sent reminders with one week left, 4 days, and 2 days left.

You better get to Las Vegas this year. I owe you more than one of these. Since you started this thread, I'll set you and David up for your whole trip. You have my e-mail address.

I'd rather not get involved in a mailing campaign or selling or trading these. But I will bring some to TalkVegas meets and share them.

I will reserve this year's Thanksgiving Meet during my March trip. Incidently, the Travel Section of the Star Telegram devoted the entire section to "dining in Las Vegas" (Famous Chefs from Coast to Coast know this is where they have to be. The food and beverage area of entertainment has become as important here as gaming) Interesting, huh??

Yes it is interesting Wendell, and hopefully the diversity of TalkVegas will be at there to try it all.

Talking about thanksgiving already!
If your taking a head count, count us as 2!!! LOL
