Casino loc promo?

Thanks all! Thought it was too good to be true. Had app. Filled out and ready to send. So glad I read this. I won't be sending it now!
Yes I love the lvh and will be there next week but that promo on the credit line is bad news
Got a N. Tower room & gave to a friend.
I checked in ahead of time & saw the room.
Its fine. Beds linens looked newer. Flat screen big tv, nice.

Carpet in halls need replacing. Just looks kinda tired.

But the biggest prob.........noise.

I could EASILY hear the couple next door talking. There was a shared door inbetween,
like most of the LVH rooms have, and thats the problem.
I even rolled a towel on the floor to try to block some of the sound, but it didn't work.

Reminds me of Monte Carlo, where Every room.......you Hear Everything.
Just a headsup.

OH, best of all? Didn't have to use C.C. when I checked in!!!
Front desk asked me IF I wanted to charge to the room.........and when I said No,
she said "ok, we won't need a C.C. then." (it was a 3 nite comp tourney offer)

So there ya go. YMMV

Any thoughts on this?

I get acquainted with offers from online casinos such as welcome, no deposit, and many other bonuses here. This is a trusted source that I trust and he has never let me down. I recommend that you do not get involved in dubious deals.

Ahhhh, 2012...

 

Full-pay video poker

Slot clubs that gave you more than a thimbleful of warm spit

You could get a room on the Strip for less than $15,000

No virus

No Trump

 

Damn it, Candy, you're making me cry...

 

Kevin,

Good advice on Craps.  Pass/Don't Pass/come bet, don't come and full odds on 6 and 8.  I'll employ that strategy in May.  Don't play for comps.  Got it.  MGM Mlife is going from 25X for every dollar spent to 4X for every dollar spent.  Only thing good for Gold level is MGM is doing away with resort fees.  But boy they make it tough to get there. 

 

Gambling off strip is definately a better way to go.  Use coupons and rewards.  Still working on DB VP.  Having some good luck at National Harbor.  Seems if you play high limit($5.00 game with max bet of 5 times so $25.00 bet).  Gotten my first 4 of a kind and a few full houses on the draw.  Craps there is super high at $50.00 a bet.  Stakes are too high for me on that.

If you MASTER 10/7 Double Bonus, you should visit the Four Queens. They have it in .25 and $1 denominations and their slot club will actually give you something.

 

The reason why I emphasize that you have to master the game is that there are SO many counterintuitive plays in DB--and knowing those plays is absolutely vital. If you play using "common sense," you'll get killed.

 

Also at the 4Q are 9/6 .25 JOB machines, a very easy game to play.

And there are $.50 9/6 Jacks at the 4Q, but no $1. The 9/6 Jacks are $8 coin-in per point.

 

Kevin is correct about the 10/7 DB. Not easy to master, but necessary to do so. And the strategy for 9/7 DB, which may be the best play in some casinos where a good/great promo is offered, is not too different.

I don't play the worse versions of good paytables, so I don't know the specific strategy for 9/7 DB all that well, but if memory serves, the only difference is that when dealt AAA66, you would keep the full house in 10/7 but pitch the pair in 9/7. It MIGHT also be the case that when dealt AA33, you keep the two pair in 10/7 but pitch the small pair in 9/7. Not sure.

 

I wish I could resurrect an article I read about 15 years ago that examined the cost of playing inferior paytables while incorrectly using the strategy for the best version of the game. While it considered comparisons like the one I made above, the focus of the article was on the cost of playing NSUD with FPDW strategy. The difference was pretty amazing--it would cost over 3/4 of one percent of return to do that. The real glaring comparison, though was what it costs to play 10/7 DB using 9/6 JOB strategy. Hoo boy.

 

I think the advantage of playing (the very few remaining) 10/7 games compared to the alternatives makes the effort worthwhile. People should realize, there's nothing illegal or against casino policy for you to be sitting there with a strategy card or sheet. You can do that until the right plays become automatic.

 

That reminds me of one play that really makes me nauseous in 10/7 DB: AKJ3 hearts, X offsuit, you draw one to the flush instead of two to the royal. Loads of jolly fun when you draw the heart Q or 10--flush, yay! I've always had to force myself to do that play.
