Well today has been a good day. It is Sunday. I stopped at the Palm's player club to see how their points work and she said I earned almost 7200 points last night. Apparently that gives me about $18 in comps. I used the LVA coupon to get the extra $10 free play added to my account. I looked through the 2012 LVA pov and I must say, I am not really impressed. Anyway I went on to the spa. It is located at Palm's Place and it is a little walk to get there. I don't like to walk through the casino after being at a spa. It is called Drift Spa and it is pretty nice but not nearly as good as Qua. They had an opening when I arrived for a 25 minute back, neck and shoulder massage so I took it. I showered and met the therapist. It was a good massage in a pleasant room. I used the steam room which was very good but the lighting was too bright. Afterwards I went to their hair salon to see if I could get a blow dry/style right then and yes I could and I did. The girl was very nice and did a great job. She also confirmed that CET is in charge of the Palm's. I thought that was the case as why else would i get an offer.
I met my husband and we ate lunch at the Palm's. We checked out some of the restaurants and he wanted to eat at the buffet so we did. It was good. Btw, my husbands meeting was at Tuscany and he got there early as he is an early bird and it didn't start until 11 so he played some on a nickel 5 play DDB and he won $225.
We drove out to Suncoast and then decided to stop in at Rampart (we had never been there). I got a card and we each played about $20. It doesn't seem to be very big and there were so many old people ( we are in our early 60's) but most of these people were really
old. We did not stay there long. We drove over to Suncoast ( Summerlin seems to be a very nice area of LV. It is very pretty around there. There was two men fighting/ cussing in front of the Suncoast. We managed to get inside without a problem. My husband, herein after referred to as Tom, had a coupon for $25 free play for two consecutive days, free breakfast buffets ( we were not hungry) and free room nights (they were booked for this trip). They had a progressive DW 25 cent that was at $2,246 so I got a chair and played it until I felt like a zombie. I played it for about 3+ hours and I didn't lose but ultimately I did not win the progressive. I hit 4 aces and a lot of other wins throughout the play. I put $100 in and cashed out at $155.70. I also played a game that I first read about on this forum. Double STP. I started playing on the 5 cent game so I could figure it out, then a little later I changed it to 10 cent and I was still winning so I changed it to 25 cent and promptly lost my winnings and my beginning money. Go figure! Tom hit a royal on a 5 cent, 5 play machine and on top of the money he also got a pretty nice looking jacket with a subdued Suncoast logo. We used our points and had dinner at Sienna at Suncoast. Actually we both had breakfast food and split a fruit cup. It was all pretty good except for the hash browns which were terrible. I would have rather eaten at their buffet as I love their bread pudding ( which
Is as good as the one at Wynn buffet) IMO. Suncoast buffet closes at 8 PM,
Anyway Tom left SC a winner and I had lost about $60.
I put a $100 in a 100 play and lost it very quickly. We were pretty tired so after we ate we drove back to the Palms. We are now in the room resting for a while. We plan to use our pass to check out the Playboy Club and use our free drink coupons tonight and I still have $40 in free play to use before we check out tomorrow. More tomorrow as we will be checking into Flamingo ( we have never stayed there before either). We plan to go to the Mob Museum downtown and play some Let It Ride at Fremont and we have dinner reservations at the new "Oscars Steakhouse" at the newly remodeled Plaza. We still haven't been to South Point or M and I think we will stop at Silverton to see my fav aquarium. Also playing in a slot tournament at Flamingo. A lady on the Allegiant flight said she was staying at Bally's (booked it with her flight thru Allegiant along with the shuttle ride back & forth from airport to & from hotel) was paying $129 + tax per night plus $14.95 for the shuttle each way x 3 people. She said she never gambles. We should all be happy there are people like them willing to pay. For their shuttle, they were paying $14.95 x 3 x 2 for each way for a total of 89.70. We rented a standard car for 4 days for $44. If you only gambled what the room cost, you could get the room for free but if you don't gamble then you just don't gamble.
