With all new graphics and dynamic content, Casino Boy makes CheapoVegas easier than ever!
April 22, 2004 (Press Release) --
CheapoVegas (http://www.cheapovegas.com/), the most entertaining web site for hotel and casino reviews and information about visiting Sin City on the cheap, has been updated with powerful new search tools to help its fans find good deals on Vegas vacations.
CheapoVegas has always been the only place online for honest reviews of Las Vegas casinos. Now, a new interface and tools, including the ability to get hotel/casino rankings based on personal preferences, help readers quickly and easily choose the perfect resort. CheapoVegas stays unbiased and doesn't try to hard sell expensive hotel rooms.
CheapoVegas is the home of lovable Casino Boy, an apple-cheeked youth who gives readers the nitty-gritty on Las Vegas hotels. His advice covers the cocktail service, what's in the bottles in the bathrooms – and whether they're worth stealing – and if the casino offers guests a fair shake. It is the brainchild of writer-comedians Mark "Stinky" Sinclair and Matt Weatherford. The site started as a way to share their experiences scamming casinos, taking advantage of overly-generous promotions and pulling stunts such as a complete vacation (including gambling, entertainment, lodging and food) for $19 a day, gorging themselves on as many of the City's worst buffets as they could stomach in a 24-hour period, and sneaking out of anger-management classes to play quarter craps.
Stinky and Matt created a niche for honest Las Vegas information and the site quickly expanded to include the only unbiased, comprehensive reviews of Las Vegas casinos available online. "We found every other site more interested in selling hotel rooms than telling you to steer clear of bad buffets," said Weatherford. "We're more interested in letting people see how cheap they can be. After all, you should wait until you're in the casino before carelessly throwing away your money."
The site now draws over a half-million visits a month, including a loyal (and sometimes overzealous) following. It has been featured and recommended in dozens of newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, Seattle Post-Intelligencer and the Las Vegas Review Journal. Each summer, Stinky and Matt use the revenue the site generates to host a poker tournament and cocktail soiree in downtown Las Vegas.
"One thing other sites forget is that Las Vegas is fun," Stinky said. "With CheapoVegas we remind people it's okay to be goofy and ridiculous. Well, for our sake, we hope it is."
For each property's description, Casino Boy wears a costume. He's a Centurion at Caesars Palace and Kubla Khan at Mandalay Bay. Stinky and Matt also entertain with tales of their own journeys, including kidnapping a friend from a hotel they deemed too luxurious, and abandoning another at the dingiest strip club in town.
