OK, let's evaluate it from my perspective. The breakfast credits are useful, I suppose. I don't see any shows of interest and the massage definitely does not appeal. I wonder how much the taxes are - I assume 13% of the $149/289.

So everything pivots around the slot play. If it's good for any/most of their slot machines, you should stop reading RIGHT NOW and sign up for this, because it's a money maker. The MSRP seems to imply such. But I'm a bit skeptical - I've seen the VW-style, LL-style, and Hooters-style machines in action, all of which pay/paid out a tiny portion of their value in actual cash. There's no e-mail to contact the company offering this directly, so I'm going to take a pass. But I encourage others to bite the bullet and report the results. Thank you.

I hadn't thought of that. I have done the Hooters thing, too & really hope this isn't like that.
I just sent the company Exotic Escapes an email & hope they get back to me with info on the slot play.

My friend (who bought one too) called Exotic Escapes & they said that the free play was for a variety of casinos in the area.....he said he couldn't tell her where, it would be wherever it was available that day.
huh? So now I'm really confused. I thought we hit the jackpot with $300 free play at the Plaza. I think the ad was misleading. I mean, geez......$300 in slot play but where & spread out over how many casinos?
She's calling the Plaza now to see if they can shed any light.

Well with the Freeplay at Plaza (if indeed all of this $300 in Slot Play is good only at Plaza), unless things have drastically changed there very recently (like since March 1st), that should be Normal Freeplay to be used on any of their machines with stickers (which are at least most of the machines there) and so at least up to this point, Freeplay there hasn't been for play on Vegas World, Lady Luck or Hooters' style machines.

But if the Freeplay is good at other places as well, then it would really depend on how much Freeplay was at each place as well as if there were any restrictions on exactly where this Freeplay is being offered. It is possible that some of the Freeplay can be good if a place has enough decent stuff to play (but if it is some good stuff and some bad stuff), then the stuff is then probably not worth playing!

I also should say that the taxes mentioned in the offer could also be for other stuuf which is besides the room tax (which is 13%). And so there also could be taxes (but I don't know what the percentages are for those) for the Show Tickets as well as for the Massage. And so I don't know how much more money is going to need to be added to the already additional $19.37 with the $149 paying people or $37.57 for the $289 paying people!

So someone would need to do some further investigation on this kind of offer plus the additional taxes, but taking it up could be good if people can take full advantage of all of what is being offered.

I did book the deal for weekdays, 2 queen beds, dates I was hoping to get and they did charge my card $19.37.
I'm a little concerned about the free play.
I bought it & after I read the reply to this thread I called.
They did say that the free play will be at various 'casinos in the area'.
When I asked which casinos, he said they couldn't say, we will find out when we get there as it's based on availability.
Guess I'll find out.

I read about this elsewhere and have been curious as to where the Free Slot Play really is!

Why do I hear my mother's voice saying......... "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

I have read conflicting reports on this - on this deal it says you have 30 days to get a refund. Living Social's policy seems to be 5 days for a refund. I am thinking of buying the deal and hoping someone reports in before the end of 30 days to see about the Free Slot Play portion.

Dutz, if you don't mind sharing this information.....when are you planning to use the deal? Fingers crossed it's before the end of the 30 day money back guarantee.

Thanks in advance.

I hope the free play isn't out in Primm or something. That's "in the area," in the sense that Atlantic City (or Saturn) isn't in the area.

Hey Jon,

Just be glad it isn't " in area " 51

I wish I could help you out.
I'm going in late May - will report then, but it won't help you much.
Anyone else out there using it sooner?
