Okay. I checked. There are a lot of exceptions. It is a tough game. Without going through all of the exceptions (it's not a game I'm currently playing), is there one particular exception you're drawing our attention to? Or are you just saying it's a tough game? Bob

I believe you.

Still, I believe you clearly dropped the ball. Had this
happened to me, I would have contacted the host and tried to start the
conversation with empathy --- something like, "I understand there are 2,000
Seven Stars players here this weekend. You hosts must be slammed. It must be close to
impossible to keep everything straight." After we talk a bit about how
tough their job is, then I say, "Is there a spa benefit I'm eligible for?
I heard through the grapevine that there might be. My qualifications are
xxxxxxx."

At this point, probably one of three things would
happen. The host would explain to me why I wasn't eligible. Or they would
reverse the charges on the service I paid for. Or they would tell me that they
could not do that but they could comp a meal at Nero's for Shirley and me off
the books. Since I was understanding of their problems and speaking calmly,
they would likely have given me something. There's no guarantee. This is not a
"secret trick" that always works. But it works enough of the time
that it makes a real difference in the bottom line.

I definitely would NOT go posting on the Internet that
"Bad hosts in AC do it again…" Harrah's people were trying very hard
to throw a really nice party. Yes some things went awry. They always do. Every time. In every organization. But a
lot of good people were trying their best to make it work. You know from
personal experience, Misscraps, that Harrah's executives know your Internet pseudonym
and have warned you before about excessive complaining. I would have thought a
word to the wise . . .

I recommend a book by Stuart Diamond called
"Getting More." It made a difference in my life. I wrote about it
more than a year ago at http://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/bob_dancer/2011/0308.cfm


I'm not trying to beat you up or embarrass you, Misscraps.
This is a common enough situation and all of us can learn from it.

Not according to Winpoker but I always hold 3 to a royal and unless I have a pair of AA, KK, QQ or JJ I hold 2 to a royal.

When playing on a loss refund promo (which "JB" later writes he was playing), it makes sense to play harder for a "bankable" hit. So, in this case, suited AT was likely a viable hold.

Don't feel too bad. Assuming the RNG constantly cycles, the draw cards would be determined at the time of pressing the DRAW button and a different hold would likely result in a different draw result.

btw -- wife and I had decent luck with this Riviera promo 2 weeks ago. We opted for $1 BPD and both cashed out at our predetermined win threshold of $600 each.

There are some benefits that all 7* get which vary from property to property, like the Tahoe Star yacht in Tahoe, but other benefits that are for only certain 7* and maybe Diamonds too if their play is high enough, all very confusing.

It was a 9/5 DDB. The only reason I was there was for the $1,000 promo, so
it wasn't a complete loss.

By the way, Bob, my behavior had absolutely nothing to do with the confusion over the spa benefits. I learned about the quarterly benefit by talking to other 7* members, and confusion ensued because some people got it and some didn't and it was thought to be a 7* benefit for all. Part of confusion is that AC hosts and personnel themselves referred to it as a "7 star quarterly spa benefit"., when actually it should have been called a quarterly spa benefit for certain 7* members who met certain criteria.....

RE: [vpFREE] Bad hosts in AC do it again....

 

I am most always polite when I inquire about anything, like the free massage 7 Stars used to get from ANY property, if it had a spa, when you visited there. So I went downstairs to the Spa at Harrah's Laughlin and politely asked if I could get my free massage. They told me I had to get the comp from a host. So I went back upstairs and was directed into the little room near the check-in desk and politely asked the female host if I could get my massage comp. She emphatically told me I was not eligible for a massage, that I could only get one at my "home" casino, Caesars, LV. I politely pointed out to her that according to the Harrah's website listing the perks of a 7 Star member, the massage was available at any Harrah's property. She again said "No".
In a few months, when a different host from that property phoned me to visit again, I politely explained to him what had happened on my last visit and that I would not be visitng them again.
I would have given the comp to my husband while I played in the high limit room, possibly dumping a few hundred dollars.
