Yes, I did. I did as I so often do--I orbited between the Four Queens and Rainbow/Emerald Island. I wanted to earn enough points at the 4Q to get the monthly promo free play but ran into a buzz saw on .25 10/7 DB, where I got NO quads and ended up down $800 for about seven hours of play. .25 and .50 JOB there ran a little better, about +$150 overall. Comps earned, about $100, cashback, about $50, promo free play, $50, offer free play, $20, room free nights, about $100 off. So, I call it about a $400 loss there.
EI/Rainbow, as usual, did not disappoint, as after a pretty wretched start, I hit a bunch of small royals on Spin Poker and finished up about +$200 for the trip. I ate twelve free meals there and still managed to increase my comp points total with my play, which was often during 25X multiplier hours. So I now have well over $300 that I can use to buy anything on the menu for, like, two weeks straight.

You know what I like about EI/Rainbow? Is the game selection for multi-line. Sure, you don't earn comps for rooms but I enjoy playing the games there versus trying to earn comps now at SP or other places for the most part. And I'm only going to Vegas maybe 2-3x a year now.
Kevin, they have some "quad bonus" on a lot of days. One day I was there it appeared to be every time you hit a quad playiing .25 or higher single line at bar, you could get a $10 bonus (if that one was left i.e. Kings and if you finished off quad number 13, it was $25) Not a huge bonus but kind of fun.
What is your game of choice for 1c, 2c or 5c multi-line? I kind of bounce all around but those places give me a nice opportunity to play some NSUD and not get smothered.
Also, the 25x vp is only on single line I believe, correct? (this will only be my 3rd time there coming up)
The open faced turkey dinner/lunch was excellent the time I had it.

The quad bonus is only at the Rainbow bar, and the payables are inferior enough to negate the bonus. Still fun, though.
I split my multi-line time between NSUD and 10/6 DDB. I prefer Spin Poker to straight multi-line. If I just want to earn points and it's not a multiplier hour, Ultimate X is 99% at low denoms...and it's a blast. If I want to hit the multipliers, 100-penny single line NSUD is great.
You're correct in that you don't get the 25x on multi-line.

Thx for the info. I'm going to hit there a few days this next week and introduce my brother to the places.

I'm off to Phoenix tomorrow early afternoon. Meeting my three brothers, staying at a friends house, meeting up with a bunch of high school friends and one college buddy, and catching 3 Cubs Spring Training games....Dodgers, White Sox, and the Rangers. Gonna try to catch up with one of my son's Little League/high school baseball friends who now plays for the Rangers. I haven't talked with him since he was playing AAA ball a dozen years ago.
Great weather to watch baseball in Phoenix this week!
