Las Vegas and military discount

Hi folks,

I'm thinking of taking the wifey to Las Vegas when I return from The 'Stan later this year. Having been to a few other places in America that have been quite willing to do one, does anybody know if many places in Vegas do a military discount? Mainly casinos/hotels/restaurants ect. MTIA.

    my husband is in the navy and I know that he has a "military discount book" and this contains all the organisations who are prepared to give discounts.

    Failing this, whenever my husband makes a booking (hotel etc) he always ask if he is able to get a military discount and he does most times :D

    He always manages to get a good price at The Grand in Brighton :T

    Reminds me of the elderly couple on holiday in the States some years back.

    Asked at a hotel if they had a discount card, they produced their B & Q card; asked what B & Q stood for, they replied "Bush and Quayle" - and got the discount !

    Most places in the US give a military discount to US service members, my hubby uses his all the time, best is to ask while there.
