CARSON CITY CONVENTION AND

VISITORS BUREAU COUPONS

I like a good deal and I love coupons. The New Deal Coupons that the Carson City Convention and Visitors Bureau have on its website are outstanding. Times are hard and money is tight but you still want to enjoy life. There are coupons for out-of-town guests flying in who need a room, or there are local favorites like B'Sghetti's award-winning Italian food, or free dessert at ZBistro. One of my favorites is Locals BBQ & Grill coupon. Pop on the website, print out the coupons and enjoy. It's that easy. And if you have friends flying in, send them the link so they can get a cool room at the Hampton Inn or the Best Western.

WHO: The Carson City Convention and Visitors Bureau
