Plaza Smoke Free Casino - earn 250 points and get a wheel spin - results

So on my last trip I participated in their 250 points wheel promotion:

I spun the wheel twice one afternoon and on each spin I hit the '2 Free Nights at Plaza' certificate.  They are only good for 6 months.  As the Plaza already comps me rooms, I wasn't sure how to use them, but on an upcoming trip a few friends are meeting me there and I was able to get them a comped room for 4 nights and the best part, no resort fee!  Not bad!

Anyway, its mostly slots but there is a bank of 4 multigame poker machines.  They aren't the best machines regarding odds, but they are new and the buttons all work.  I did manage to hit quad aces with a kicker in triple double which helped short term winnings.

All in all, pretty successful spins and play in their formerly known as "Brian Christopher" smoke free slot area.  They still have his branded slot machine in there if anyone plays that thing... 

I was playing video poker there yesterday, they have full pay JoB and Bonus Poker on those machines. I didn't know about the 250 point promo, bummer.

Were you the passed out drunk guy at the slot machine at 8:30 am, wearing a cowboy hat? 

You shouldn't have peed in the corner by the TITO machine. Good job though, it took 5 security guards to take you down, subdue you and get you cuffed.

One thing that has always enraged me is when a casino has a nonsmoking section, that's always where they put their shit machines, like 2/1 Boneless Poker. I also vividly remember when Elmer Fudd's Wed Wock still had two banks of FPDW--right next to entryways where you would get blasted by hot or cold air, depending on the season, over and over. 

The sad fact is that the stink stick brigade has managed to convince the casinos that they can't live without their patronage, when the reality is that a smoking ban wouldn't hurt them at all and would probably help. The LA poker barns learned this by force some time ago.

I favor a nonsmoking PLANET. The moon has lots of room for those who don't want to kick the habit.

You're a class act, Max!  I may be from far west Texas but I have no hat or cows.  

You should have looked around, the wheel is quite prominent, well, maybe next time you'll spot it or trip over it in your drug and alcohol addled stagger to the ATM. ;)

I'm not sure what is worse, the vape crew or the cigar crew.   Probably the cigars.  But I did have a guy puff his vape pen 32 times in 20 minutes at a black jack table, luckily he blew his plastic and burnt cherry limeade chemical juice cloud up and it was headed for the pit boss most of the time.  I had to count because it was so frequent I was surprised he didn't wire it up into his nose for a constant hit on each breath.

The cigars are probably worse. Their stink is far-reaching and monumental. I've stayed away from South Point because there are two (at least) cigar smokers who are ALWAYS there, and coupled with the 80% smoking rate of the other patrons, it seems like I can't play there without having to breathe clouds of stink. I give up and move to the opposite end of the casino, I swear the motherfuckers follow me. I play for an hour and my clothes and hair stink.

A charitable view would be that these stinkers, having lost their sense of smell, just don't perceive how unpleasant they make it for everyone else; my suspicion, though, is that they just don't give a shit.

If there is a cigar within sight or stench, I'm out of there.  Filthy animals should wallow at home in their sty.

Same with perfumes and cologne, I shouldn't smell you before I see you.  Lol

Try eating Chinese food, especially garlic chicken, before heading to the casino. Have few beers when you arrive and then direct a belch or two at the smoker.  

I'll smoke the occasional cigar, but I go outside and away from anyone.

Yikes! I didn't mean to trigger you with the cowboy hat comment; it's exactly what happened on Sunday morning - the guy was wearing a cowboy hat.

No wheel in sight, guess it was a September promo.

We stayed at the Rio on Sunday and Monday nights, and locals smoking cigars seemed to be popular. So glad I live in the free state of Colorado, where I can play free from cigar and cigarette smoke.
