Free booze is almost a thing of the past.. The only real places to get the free booze while gambling is at the card tables or Keno lounge, Do not expect to see many waitressing walking around the Slot machines. I go every year and 5 years ago and long was the best times Food (buffets were cheap, more free booze than you could shake a stick at)
Dont get me wrong I still love going and will continue to go, I just love the 24 hour night life

getting up at noon or 1pm, being out all night and going to bed at 8am <grin>
Have fun, dont let what I write deter you,.. its a great place.. Some of the cheaper places to buy booze is toward circus circus you can get bottle dutch beer for 99 cents
