Subject: [vpFREE] Red Rock fireworks tonight, disappointment
Just want to mention this as another example of how casino marketing can turn people off. I received an invitation to a private VIP fireworks party at the Red Rock pool, I guess because I am now President level. When I phoned to RSVP I specifically asked, can I swim at the pool during the party, answer "definitely no, no swimming allowed." I had thought it might be nice to go early and have a swim on the hot night.
I asked if there would be food "Yes, free ice cream." Party to start at 8pm, fireworks 9.
I arrived a bit late (8:40) because I didn't want to be outside for an hour in the heat. Found a HUGE crowd, it seemed like anyone with a players card was there, not just a smaller VIP gathering. No where to sit, no ice cream. Packed. But.....Yep people were swimming in the pool. Then came the fireworks, not centered over the pool, but off to one side (the wrong side for me), which blocked some of the display.
All in all a total disappointment. I had come a long way from where I live... I had had a great time at Harrahs Laughlin's fireworks last year, on a riverboat VIP party, and in previous years enjoyed fantastic perfect fireworks display and lots of food at Caesars VIP party. Not going to Red Rock for July 4 again.
