Re: [vpFREE] Re: Coast Group

 

<<If you play at more than one property, the free play and food are good at all four properties (and appear all in one page) and you get tickets for shows at all properties. Hotel offers are also good at all properties.

I am pretty sure the gift cards are for $5 since that is what Sam's Town used to have on Sundays earlier in the year for the same amount of points. >>

Thanks so much for answering my questions. One other question, which may not be readily answerable: Does this now mean that all your play at all properties is combined and then that total determines your free play?

Related to that is an issue that has been discussed a couple of months ago: When a casino has multiple-point limits, does your combined play at more than one casino hit the limit? In the past the limit has not been the same at all 4 casinos, so what about limits in that situation?

Still getting a headache!!!

[vpFREE] XVP: Coast Group "stealthy" promotions

 



In your words- ASK, and be very sure you will get the benefit for your play, before, you commit to playing. Hopefully, if the details are not as "advertised" you did not waste too much of your time. Every time I come to Vegas as a visitor, the promotions are hit or miss, and I always call ahead before I drive over there.(very frustrating when it does not pan out)!

Re: [vpFREE] Re: Tunica

 

I like the Horseshoe. As said earlier, good food, friendly people, and comps when you ask. Rooms have always been nice. I have also had good luck next door at the Roadhouse with VP.

Thanks for correcting me. You are absolutely right. Horseshoe is the one where we stayed and gambled at Roadhouse next door. We never went in to Harrahs so I don't know what kind of VP they have. Horseshoe had none worth playing.

There are 2 women named Sheila that work at the desk in the Diamond lounge. They were the ones you need top speak with about comps. They do not make you use your points first which was a big surprise.

Unless things have changed since our Spring visit, there are no full pay video poker machines at Harrahs in Tunica. There are some at Roadhouse. As someone else said, meal and hotel comps are easy to get no matter where you play/stay at the Harrahs properties. We received good advice before we went – stay at Harrahs and gamble at Roadhouse (right next door). If you are Diamond, visit the Diamond lounge at Harrahs and they will take care of you with comps.

[vpFREE] NOLA update (was Re: WMS Video Poker)

 

Looks like Harrah's NOLA will serve up a peek at thef new WMS machines in about a month's time (regulatory approval, pending).

The NOLA main floor vp area got a major makeover this week (HL area is unchanged). Older slant tops (former coin droppers retrofitted for TITO) have been removed from the floor. This includes the 3 $1/$2/$5 9/6 JBs, along with the $1 NSUD.

A large number of uprights have been added to the area. Most notable, is that the 3 standalone slant top $1 9/6 DDB progs have been replaced with an equivalent carousel of 3 linked progressives.

Other than that, best game to be found seemed to be 9/5 JB.

Two banks of new WMS machines are also added to the floor, but currently configured as video slots. Word was that NOLA is waiting for regulatory approval to install vp.

As discussed in this thread, these machines will feature the "My Life" platform that will enable players to store personal game configurations (I suspect "personalized" paytables isn't an option ;), and track play statistics online, among other features.

I remain hopeful re paytables on the new machines, but likely license fees pose a strong headwind against something attractive.

You know those horror movies that show a person who wants to drive another person crazy for some nefarious reason. I think I am IN one of these movies and I'm the one being driven crazy – by casino marketing executives!!!

I just got my "combined" mailer for all 4 Coast properties: Orleans, Gold Coast, Suncoast, and Sam's Town. To read this "booklet mailer," you have to be sure to look on the bottom of each page to see which one or ones that page is "good" for. For example, the list of my free play and the page with my calendar and the one with my dining rewards had a "Gold Coast" on the bottom of the page. The page that contained the ad for liquor/wine in the gift shop had all 4 casinos listed at the bottom of the page. But the ad for Mega Bingo listed the casinos involved within the ad.

However, since I play only at Gold Coast, I am wondering how that mailer was for people who play at more than one of these properties. For example, if you play at two casinos, did you have a separate page for free play offers at each of them – or did your free play for your combined play appear on one page and you could pick up at either casino.

Another question: The Sunday Albertson promo tells how much you have to play to get "a card" – but don't say what denomination the card is. On the page with this offer, there is a picture of a woman holding up a $10 Albertson card but on the calendar they show a $5 card.

Re: [vpFREE] Re: Tunica

 

Personally I enjoy Tunica. We stay at the Horseshoe in one of their butler suites. They are large and beautiful. There are a total if three casinos in that area; two are Harrahs properties and one is MGM, the Gold Strike. It has better VP.

The wine room is a nice place for dinner but expensive. Try to get it comped.

They also have spa facilities there and another location they use.

Have fun

I don't think Tunica is bad. There are nice rooms, good places to eat, and decent entertainment. In good weather they have some nice golf courses. Above all, it's easy to get to for a lot of people and comps are very generous.
