I posted part of my June Vegas On My Mind column from "Midwest Gaming
and
Travel", at the following link, which covers some interesting exercise
opportunities being
offered by Las Vegas Casinos.

RE: [vpFREE] Re: Hard Rock Rip-Off

I have just returned from the Hard Rock's 50k Red Carpet Slot Tournament and my host said they no longer take the points. But he also said he would get written up if he gave a comp before the player had used their points.

If someone could doublecheck this I would feel better.

This is what I though was a short-term solution to get the old points from the previous regime off the books.

Ive been telling everyone how much of a cheese ball operation Hard Rock has been becoming over the last few years. Its only going to get worse. Stations, especially GVR is getting really bad now. What do you expect when the benefits get cut and people still keep going back for more. The casinos can and are getting away with it. For gods sake I can get better comps on the strip as a local now.

RE: [vpFREE] Re: Hard Rock Ripoff

Hi Catherine,

I tried to meet you this weekend but my vip coordinater Becky hernandez didn't know you. I did win 1000.00 on the drawing after the slot tournament prize giveaway. I was hoping you were there and would say hi.

James Thompson

PS. I'll post a brief trip report later.

From my spouse's blog:



"I'm happy to say that my host came through and restored the points the Hard Rock Las Vegas took to pay for a comped room. He indicated that the policy may change but as for now it is still in effect, so Hard Rock customers are advised to use up all their points each session and ask for comps for anything they want.



"This story won't be over until the HRH changes its system so points aren't seized for comped hotel rooms. If and when I become aware of any change, I will report it."

Re: [vpFREE] Re: Station Casinos' Next Bonus Point Day

 

While i cant prove this, maybe some guru's out there can comment but I've
always felt Stations looks at your play from 4 tiers, to decide on offers,
bonus , and discretionary comps. The most important still remains winner or
loser, however ...

Primary action is ---
A player - slots
B player - VP under 99.5
C player - VP between 99.5 and 99.9
D player - VP over 100% , including positive progressives and optimums

Even if you NEVER play optimal machines you can still be excluded if you win
"too much." I had a good year in 2010, hit a few $1 progressives. NOT
optimal play machines at all, 2011 was dismal as I hit NOTHING that entire
year. Yet in Oct. 2011, I was excluded due to my win a year earlier, even
though I lost most of it back chasing those same progessives the following
year. I asked the head "guy," (who said I was not a profitable player for
the casino), how can I not be profitable for the casino, when I am losing
1000's of dollars in 2011?
I was the last of my little group of gambling friends to be excluded.
Everyone I know is excluded from promos. I was told once you are on the DO
NOT INVITE list you can NEVER get bonus points again.
PLEASE don't post Stations bonus point days. Everytime I drive by the sign
that says there is a bonus day, I get angry!

If you are a glutton for punishment you go and ask for it at the club and they tell you that your are not allowed to get the promotion at management's discretion or whatever other fancy wording they want to use.
