Do you want to ask or tell Casino Boy or one of his underlings something? Remember, he's just a boy, so don't hurt his feelings.
Maybe someone's already asked your question. You can check the Frequently Asked Questions below:

1. How often is the site updated?
We update the site practically every week. Of course we can't be everywhere at once, so we don't guarantee that everything is up to the minute, but we do that best that three people can do. We welcome any new information or corrections in order to keep it as current as possible.

2. Do you get paid to do this?
No. Well, not yet. Maybe some day we will, but we set this and our other sites up as a hobby. They do generate a little revenue, but not enough for anyone to live off of, so we just put it back into the sites. Your compliments and our strong belief that someday someone will hit a huge jackpot and share it with us is all we need.

3. Who are you?
We are three friends who met in college and bonded over our love for running nebulous scams on Las Vegas casinos to help pay for tuition and those awful bar tabs. We thought it was time for a site that gave more frank reviews than the ones trying to sell hotel rooms give out, so we started CheapoVegas. From there, Reno seemed like a natural progression. We've also added Cheapo New York, a guide to New York City, and CheapoTravel for general travel tips and tools.

4. Why don't you like ___ ?
As we said, three of us do the site: Stinky, Amy and Matt. The site reflects our experiences and opinions, and that's all they are: just opinions. You can disagree with us, especially about the fancy high-falutin' hotels, but we always stick to our cheapo roots.

5. What is full-pay video poker?
There are lots of different video poker machines in Vegas. Many have the same rules but different pay tables, meaning that, for example, some Double Bonus machines pay 9 for a full house and 6 for a flush, while others pay 10 for a full house and 7 for a flush. Since Nevada State gaming law requires Video Poker to be dealt randomly from a 52-card deck, all machines have an equal chance of dealing you a winning hand. Therefore, the 10/7 machine pays out more than the 9/6 machine over the course of time. You always want to look for machines with the highest payouts to increase your odds of winning.

6. How come Casino Boy is so dang cute?
Remember the atomic bomb testing in the Nevada desert in the 1950s? During one of those tests, a young lad was wandering through the sage brush, collecting bottle caps he could trade for cash for his mother's much needed surgery. Suddenly, a flash of light and a burst of heat! The boy's face swelled, and his cheeks turned ruddy. He was transformed into an ever chipper boy with an unquenchable appetite for dazzling lights, table games, buffets, hard liquor and barely-dressed ladies.

7. Are you guys really as cheap as you say?
Yes, absolutely. We may be the cheapest people on the planet. It makes us endearing to strangers, but a pain in the butt to family and friends.
