For the mere cost of a few blocks of walking (and a drive or shuttle ride), you can come away with a $30 food voucher to any Harrah's-owned restaurant (listed below).
Better yet, you can do it every day from now through Sept. 9.
And it doesn't cost a thing. Really.
As part of their new summer promotion "3 Million on the House" (click to see if you're an online winner), Harrah's is determined to get everyone to sign up for their Total Rewards program. But don't worry, it's free to sign up. And if you already have a Total Rewards card, you can still do the promotion.
Start at one of Harrah's six casinos (Bally's, Caesars Palace, Flamingo, Harrah's, Paris, Rio) and pick up a card that will act as a passport.
From noon to 5 p.m. daily, visit the casino's kiosk near the Total Rewards booth and have your Total Rewards card swiped. You can win anything from buffets to points to funbooks to airline tickets to cash (up to $10,000 in daily prizes). But mostly you'll win nothing. After your card's swiped, you'll get your passport stamped.
Complete three casinos and you'll receive a $10 food voucher.
Complete all six and you'll get an additional $20 food voucher.
You do not have to complete all casinos in one day (the passports are not dated, just stamped with the casino name). But you can only get one stamp per casino per day.
Food vouchers expire Oct. 10 and may be combined up to any amount. You cannot sell or transfer them; the vouchers will contain your Total Rewards number.
You can do the casinos in any order, but here was my route to get them all done within three hours: with Bally's/Paris next to each other (they're so married, they even combine their chips), they were easily knocked out. From there, I crossed Flamingo Road to get to Flamingo, then hopped over Imperial Palace to get to Harrah's. Right across Las Vegas Boulevard is a convenient crosswalk to Caesars.
I walked back to Bally's, picked up my car, and headed west on Flamingo Road to Rio.
Wait time at each was minimal, never more than 10 minutes.
If you don't have a car, the free shuttle bus runs every 30 minutes to each of the six casinos.
In all my Vegas travels, this is the best offer if you like to eat for free (plus it forces you to exercise). If you do all six, you're guaranteed to walk away with a $30 food comp. You can use vouchers for a snack or collect and combine them to splurge on a swanky Caesars restaurant (Bradley Ogden, mmmm...) or the most expensive buffet in Vegas (the aptly named Sterling Sunday Brunch at Bally's, $70).
Hop on this one; as more people become aware of it, and more people do the promotion daily, lines will get longer.
