My little brother just turned 21. What kind of sign up/new player bonuses are out there that aren't as obvious as, "sign up for a player's card, ldo".

There are lots of promos ripe for bonus whoring. Too many to list them all. Which types of games are you thinking of (ie: sportsbetting, poker, the pit, slot play) and I can help you out.

I am interested in video poker and poker, but info on slot play and tables games would also be welcomed.

I guess I should titled this better. But "whoring" always attracts views.

Don't really want to get him playing in the pits too much, so what places offer freeplay/matchplay for signing up.
Also, free rooms for signing up.

obv I know he'll have to play a bit to get these things but just looking for easy answers as I am bad at google

I'm guessing none. Casinos don't really care about poker players, and all the players cards are for all games, not just poker.

And here it is: sign up for a player's card, ldo. Never know what will show up in the mail.

Most of the signup bonuses are super dumb, like a t-shirt. I went over to Hooters for its "sign up and get $100 free slotplay" deal, but it was also super dumb (a certain bank of rigged machines where the credits never increase, but if it hits certain jackpots you get from $20 to maybe $250). Neither my gf or I won anything. And that's probably the best signup bonus currently offered.

The Tuscany hotel has a good coupon book when you sign up for the comp card. I got two 5 dollar table game match plays. Some food coupons (free pizza, couple of drinks) and the best was 30% off at the Tuscany Gardens. This was their version of the nice Italian restaurant and prices were NOT that bad. With my 30% off the bill was 20 bucks...for Chilean Sea Bass.

Plaza has a great deal. It was a 5x table match. I bet 25 dollars and I won 125 dollars. On one hand of blackjack, if I remember correctly. I played a while longer and quit at 90 ahead.

If you're used to internet casino whoring then you won't find anything equivalent to that in Vegas. The closest to poker bonus whoring is the Harrah's promo: $599 for 125 hours plus additional incentives for playing day shift.
