Fiesta Henderson is all paper bingo. No electronic machines. Binion's downtown just opened a bingo room.

A lot of people use the machines but also daub some paper cards just to have something to do.

The Bingo Bugle has info on promotions at Las Vegas bingo rooms. Here's the March issue: http://www.bingo4fun.com/pdf/NVMar11Web.pdf

Also there's usually some info on each casino's website.

So, I can't just sign on the kiosk, I have to go to the rewards center.

Re: [vpFREE] OFF TOPIC of VP, moving to LV, need advice

Well, no, I have no complaints with our mexican neighbors that actually
abide by the law and there are many down here that do, I am leaving because
I am opposed to being watched at night with night vision equipment and
having my ranch animals shot and killed by the drug cartel that wants my 160
acres to run his drugs through. So, there is "trash" as you say, anywhere,
but when you are threatened in your own country by another country's
military trained drug cartel, what are ya gonna do? Stand and fight with my
little arsenal? No, I am coming there to live in a gated, 55+ community so
that I may enjoy life again. Thank you for your comments?

Re: [vpFREE] Re: xvp -- road to laughlin is fast, but you best go slow

 

On a related note, Reno PD got a "grant" (which means free money according
to them) to go after speeders, starting 2/28. Be careful in general, but
I-80 east around milepost 5 to 10 seems to be a favorite, as they catch
those Californians who have the gaul to try to come to Reno to spend money.

Re: [vpFREE] xvp -- road to laughlin is fast, but you best go slow

Speed limit is mostly 65 except for the area you mentioned before/after
Searchlight. If you drive 75 in the 65 zone you will be ticketed. How is
that difficult to understand?

If you are moving to Las Vegas to get away from the trash on our southern

Hey all you VP people out there! I am making the big move to LV in March,
currently am on a 160 acre horse ranch on the border of Mexico and Arizona

Re: [vpFREE] OFF TOPIC of VP, moving to LV, need advice

 

Hello Sue,

You may wish to consider Sun City MacDonald Ranch in Henderson, a 55+
Community which has many homes in various sizes (1500 square feet to 2200
square feet), all one story. Prices are good right now. It's a safe community
with a golf course, clubhouse, fitness center, pool, and a modest
restaurant. Then you may wish to explore Boulder City for boarding your horse, as
they have stables and, while I am unclear on what boarding facilities are
available, you would find that Sun City MacDonald Ranch is about 17 miles
from Boulder City, and about 10 miles from the airport and the Strip, as well
as close to other casinos which have Video Poker full pay machines.
There may actually be some property allowing horses (along Racetrack Road on
the East side of Henderson) so be sure to ask a realtor about that option as
well. You will wish to interview several realtors in Henderson, but can be
sure to ask the questions about horse properties versus 55 + communities.
Boulder City would be a lovely place to live, but is a bit removed from
the casino's as it is a non-gambling community and the two casino's close to
it (Railroad Pass and Hacienda) are not known for their comps or their full
pay machines. Properties there are also more costly than in Henderson or
Las Vegas.

Good luck and if you need specific information, feel free to contact me.

M Kroes

They have expanded the ticket area and criteria for speeding on US 95 near Searchlight Nevada. The zone is about 4 miles before searchlight town center and about 15 miles after. They can and will get you for going 75 mph on the ridiculously low speed for a wide open flat 65 mile per hour interstate. A cop ambushed me from about 1 mile away , on a slight downhill my rental corolla just hit 76... and he was up my ass, pulled me over, and ticketed me.

This seems the exact opposite of what my tax accountant (an enrolled

[vpFREE] advice on balancing palms comps needed

 

hi there,
in short, i'm trying to get an idea of how to maximize casino comp
across two players' cards at the palms.

as i dive into details, please forgive me in advance for providing what
may well be too much information ... the comp world is strange enough
that sometimes little things matter and i wanted to be sure i wasn't
missing something that would lend an obvious answer.
my girlfriend (HER card) and i (HIM card) are vegas locals and play at
the palms. we both take advantage of the majority (but not all) of
free-plays and perks that we're offered (e.g. megabucks pulls, shirts,
simon discounts, etc.).
up to the recent past, the HER card has only 25c progressive 2's wild
play. the HIM card during that time had a significant amount of play on
$1 and $2 NSUD and $1 TDB.
about four months ago, we quit playing the HIM card and played HER only
in video poker games that have a theoretical positive return for perfect
play (and for low stakes), namely: the 25c progressive 2's wild, 25c
joker wild and 25c 10/7 double bonus. i can't give you a firm coin-in
number here, but i'd say the HER card is getting about 12 hours of
medium-fast play per month.
HIM also plays poker once a month using the $25-for-$20 buy-in.

in february our mailers looked like this:
HER$50 total in free slot play (5x $10)$10 at simon$20 in food credits
at gardunos, bistro, cafe, alize et al (2x $10)2 megabucks free pulls
each MWF

HIM$60 total in free play (2x $30)$15 at simon$10 in food credits at
gardunos, et al (1x $10)1 megabucks free pulls each MWF
for the month of february, in gross terms, you'd definitely say: the
play on HER card was increased from january; the play on HIS card was
close to nil (as it had been the previous month). the only play the HIM
card had was the $60 in free play (all done on the $1 10/7 DB
progressive), and both the poker and simon coupons were redeemed. the
HER card had about 12 hours of medium-fast play (as mentioned above) and
had the simon card redeemed. both cards had some, but less than half,
of the megabucks offers used. the generic food credit coupons weren't
used on either card.

in march our mailers look like this:HER$48 total in slot play (4x $12)
{down $2 and 1 session from february}$10 at simon $20 in food credits at
gardunos, bistro, cafe, alize et al (2x $10)2 megabucks free pulls each
MWF (a guess, but probably right)
HIM$40 total in free play (2x $40) {down $20 from february}$10 at simon
{down $5 from february}$10 in food credits at gardunos, et al (1x $10)1
megabucks free pulls each MWF (a guess, almost certainly right)

my questions are these: should we be splitting some of our play time
between HIM and HER? should we both play only one card one month, then
one card the next? since the HIM card has a history of heavier play
against it, should we just leave it alone? i know there are magic
cross-over numbers that will move you from one group of comps to
another, is there anything we can/should be shooting for, or be aware
of?
(an aside that may or may not be worth noting: we prefer to use our
points as food comps, rather than free play back into the machines.
24/7 is the best reasonably-priced casino cafe in vegas. we love it.)
rather than clutter the list with a broad announcement in the future, my
sincere thanks to everyone who helps -- even if you have only a lone
datum that we may be able to work into a strategy.
pax,m.
PS jean, i have all your books. looking for something specific to this
case.
PPS concerning a previous topic caesars buying the palms would be
heartbreaking. i'm a diamond in the caesars chain and even so it's the
very last thing i'd like to see. the palms has: great video poker,
pearl, 24/7 cafe, rain, great music in the casino (which nearly everyone
over the age of 30 hates, but i love) and unlimited amounts of eye-candy
on friday, great music acts (saw STP on saturday -- great) and saturday
nights. ALL of this -and its inherent coolness- goes away if casears
takes over.
