Wow, thats a brilliant strategy for them. It's an excellent way to find "pre-qualified" players. If other properties are sending you juicy offers, that means you're a player, so we want you. That's pretty good

My husband never joined, so we are doing this. Apparently you can use any offer from anywhere and actually keep the offer, so he is using one he has from Biloxi for $375. You get equal free slot play or chips on arrival. The extra 1/2 requires you do a certain amount of play during your stay, apparently 7000-9000 points for $375, the host was a little unclear. I'm not sure if there is a maximum they will match. Our mailer mentions various amounts up to $500 but might be more. Offer good til April 30. For more info contact casino host Gloria Deal, 7023575640, gdeal@goldenugget.com.

Offers like this can be quite good. I wonder if any of you know other casinos with similar "we match your offer" offers.

 Guru

You've suggested all types of possibilities, any or none of which may have been the cause, so I think it's time to move on.

Thanks

Seriously though, I strongly suspect some aspect of your play aroused their curiosity,since I don't remember anyone else mentioning this or chiming in that it happened to them at the same place, although that just might be my CRS.

Maybe you take advantage of every promotion, or have recently started taking advantage of more promotions. Maybe your play on an average day has dropped. I'd review my trips, and see if I changed any previously predictable patterns, like going during the week when you only went on weekends previously. Did they possibly think you might have pulled your card at some point.

I can't, obviously, pinpoint what it might be, but unless there are a bunch of others who are experiencing the same mysterious card deactivation there, I'd assume that there are eyes on me at all times, and try to make sure that I'm not doing anything that would cause them to no-mail me.

[vpFREE] Re: Limo Questions

 

It's been a while since I've been there and used a limo, but I seem to remember that the limos now need to park in a more remote area.  This means that the driver has to either wait for a call in the remote area ("I'm here") and then drive around and find you, or leave the car and come to the baggage claim area with a sign ("Smith") and wait for you, and then walk you and your bags to the remote area (so, by "remote", I don't mean that you need a shuttle to get there).  I think this may be a post - 9/11 change, as I seem to recall previously being met by the driver at baggage claim and a very short walk to the curb for the car.  Also, it may vary according to which terminal you're at.

I always tip somewhere close to the taxi fare (without the taxi tip), if I know it, minimum $10 even if it's a short ride, and usually $20 -- and that's been 10 years ago or more, so allow for inflation.  I figure I'm getting a very nice ride compared to the taxi, a lot less hassle, no risk of being taken the long way (I used to know my way around and be able to tell them which way to go, but not anymore), and I see very little upside in being perceived as cheap (there may be no downside to it either, but why take a chance? - at least until my bags are safely in my room :)

==================
 

6b. Re: Limo Questions

My experience in Vegas each time I go is I'm waiting on limo driver and calling transportation to see where's their at. Out of 9 trips with limo in past year there was only one time they were waiting. In fact a few times I've had to take my luggage outside and wait

I want to second these comments. The OP seems hesitant to tip but Vegas can be an amazing town, $5 at a time :-). Since moving here I *always* carry a stack of $5 bills with me. It's amazing what $5 and a smile gets you in this town. You go from "No!" to "right this way Sir!" in no time.

Alan,

 

Like most things in Las Vegas, the amount you tip will determine how much you can break the rules. If you have 2 extra people going to hotels on the way and ask the driver "Could you take my friends to hotel x and hotel y? " ( and you have at least $40 in your hand), you might be okay, especially if the driver isn't in a time crunch for his next appointment. My guess is that if you are worried about a $15 tip for a limo driver, this option won't appeal to you.

 

Go to valet at Flamingo and say " I have to run into the casino for 5 minutes, can you keep my car up front?" Just ask and the answer is no. Ask with a $5 in your hand and the answer is okay, but 5 minutes only, then I move it. Ask with a $20 in your hand and your car can stay there for an hour.

 

It's a money town. The more green, the more you can bend the rules.

[vpFREE] Golden Nugget Laughlin offer for new members to match offer

 

Got an interesting offer from Golden Nugget in Laughlin, for new members only, they will match a free play offer for up to 1 1/2 times plus give u 2-3 room nights. My husband never joined, so we are doing this. Apparently you can use any offer from anywhere and actually keep the offer, so he is using one he has from Biloxi for $375. You get equal free slot play or chips on arrival. The extra 1/2 requires you do a certain amount of play during your stay, apparently 7000-9000 points for $375, the host was a little unclear. I'm not sure if there is a maximum they will match. Our mailer mentions various amounts up to $500 but might be more. Offer good til April 30. For more info contact casino host Gloria Deal, 7023575640, gdeal@goldenugget.com.

Offers like this can be quite good. I wonder if any of you know other casinos with similar "we match your offer" offers.
