El Cortez: free play for ATM withdrawal?

Last March the El Co was running a promotion in which you got $5 in free play for every $100 you took out from their ATM. (Warms my heart to think about it.....turned $15 in free play into $200.)

Does anybody know whether this is still going on?

That offer was in effect when I was in Vegas during early December, 2013.

Thanks doc!

It is still going. However, to participate a second time, you must have earned at least 1,500 base points during the preceding calendar month, so plan on that (or hope they don't apply it to you).

Basically Chilcoot is correct, with this exception that I personally experienced. In December I made use of this perk. I was told what Chilcoot said, but I told the lady at the cage that earning 1500 points would and was difficult for me to do since I did not live in Nevada and I last took advantage of this offer the previous April. She allowed me to once again to use this offer, which I did.

That's good news. Thanks for the tip!

what are the atm fees?

I believe the atm fee was $3.50.

Also, there is a $200 minimum withdrawal.

I remember (vaguely) doing this promotion as well about a years ago. In my opinion it was not worth it. I intended to withdraw $1000 in order to get $50 in free slots play. However, the maximum withdrawal amount allowed by the ATM was $300, so the free play only amounted to $15. And if I recall correctly there were two fees, $3.50 for the ATM fee, and later my bank statement showed another fee for about $5 for using a non-branch ATM. It was still a positive play but at such a small incentive I would not recommend it. Their tax refund promotion which gives 5% back in free slot play for cashing in a tax refund up to $1000 may be a better play.
