[vpFREE] Re: Tunica Roadhouse

 

I am very disappointed this happened. I hope the uproar stays strong, I remember reading Harrah's Rincon trying to pull this crap awhile back and it got eventually reversed.

Also glad to hear that it's still 9/6 JoB for the penny progressive. My last two trips there the game was > 100% due to the progressive. I didn't hit it though. :(

And Harrah's just keeps doing stupid stuff. Why give away $1M to one person every week? Most people will figure they have a chance in hell of winning and go to the other casinos' weekend promos.

We were there on a Signature Experience and looking forward to some good VP only to be disappointed. I did find one upright with 9/6 Jacks at the $5 level. Also, there was a penny machine (also an upright) with a 9/6 game with a progressive. Max play was 100 pennies and Royal was at $1068 at the time (vs. $800).

[vpFREE] More NCL cruise offers

 

Seems like NCL must really be filling up its cruises with gamblers....or trying to. My mailbox has been full of offers lately for those "almost free" NCL cruises lately. One from every Harrahs property I play at, including Vegas, Laughlin, Tahoe, New Orleans, and Biloxi. On top of that, offers from Vegas Tropicana and Palms.

Some were inside cabins, some oceanview, a couple balcony. On top of that the 7* Harrahs signature event is a free (actually free this time since they are paying taxes and NCF) cruise to Bermuda. I'm going on that one.

Yesterday arrived an offer from NCL's Casino at Sea department. (I had played on my last cruise quite a bit). This is for 3 free cruises, choose 1, 2, or all 3. With a free slot tournament on board....Minisuites this time.... Theoretically a far better offer than any of those certificates I'd gotten from casinos where I REALLY had played a lot.

But the strange thing was, when I asked about the 11 day southern Caribbean one offered, they were sold out of minisuites and anything above. No handicapped cabins either (which I need). Why offer a cruise that's pretty much sold out? Strange. I decided to book one from New Orleans, since they had a handicapped room, but only in balcony category, no handicapped in minisuite.

One interesting thing is that if you have played on NCL you may well qualify for a better offer from their Casinos at Sea department than from one of those certificates.

Unfortunately NCL is the one who seems super eager to get gamblers onboard. I much preferred Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, or Princess (even Carnival, though with all the problems on their ships lately it doesn't make one too anxious to choose that line).

Anyway, interesting....

[vpFREE] Re: Hard Rock Las Vegas Downgrade

 

Thanks for letting us know about this.

Another thing they have changed is that Platinum card holders get 3x points all the time and Entourage get 2x. For now you have to swipe before playing to get this. Slot club lady told me that if there is a casino-wide multiplier (like the 5x on Sundays and Mondays in April), you get the higher of the two multipliers, not both.

[vpFREE] Bonus Points Column Update

 

Sam's Town Sunday multiplier is only 7A - 7 P.

Sam's Town, Orleans, and Gold Coast all appear to now limit VP multiplier to first 10,000 points. Suncoast appears to have a higher limit. I thought Sam's used to be higher?
