We received NO mailer this month. When we inquired, we were told the Coast Group will no longer honor their snowbird program. Hadn't seen that coming. I guess they are trying to be like the Stations.

The free play that is listed is quite a bit less than he had last month, if you added up what he received at the three places. Same with food coupons.

Mine have the name of each unique property printed at the bottom of most pages. There are three different calendars, and three different amounts of free play, room, and food offers. Gold Coast and Sam's Town have point multipliers, Orleans does not.
