I can't confirm it, but will comment on it if I may. the last time I used it was August 2015. if you r not a local they will hesitate, then lecture you, and then eventually give it to you. they want you to have earned X amount of points in the previous month, and then you have to explain to them that you live in another state and that it would have been impossible because you have not been to Vegas since your last vacation. I can understand them wanting to get some play out of you but this drives me nuts. I think the max rebate is $50.00, so I usually withdraw a $1,000.00. it has always been a smoky casino, and then a few years ago, they started pumping in a fragrance to try to cover it up. I would stay and gamble longer at the EC if not for the smoke and fragrance that almost immediately triggers breathing problems for me.
if and when you go, please let us know how it works out. I hope you win big when you run through your free play!
