Multiple downtown (and Sam's Town) questions. Please HELP!

We are flying out to the city we love Feb 16-21. Bringing my mother, who is finally done with cardiac rehab after her heart surgery in September! Staying at MSS for a couple of nights, and 4Q for the final 3. We are avid VP players, DB, DDB, and NSUD, especially progressives! I have several questions regarding a few of the downtown properties and Sam's.

We have offers from Fitz and Sam's for food and free play. Do we need to book rooms at each of those properties to get the free stuff???

Also, when I check my bconnected offers, on the Sam's Feb room offer it says "you’re invited to special VIP events! Birthday Party Feb 18-21" Does anyone know what that is??

Binions has a swipe promo going now, does anyone know when that ends?

VPfree2 says that Golden Gate has 9/6 DDB progressives at the Bar, are those RF only or 6 way including quads? Does GG have any promos going?

At the Cal, are the 10/7 DB machines with the 1,000 coin Heart RF bonus $3 per point? How about the quarter machines near the Main Street Bar?

Sam's has 10/7 DB listed, are those $2 per point earned or $1-1?
Also, Sam's used to have 9/7 DB and 9/6 DDB .25 triple play with progressive RF for each line and a HUGE prog for the dealt royal. Does anyone know if they still exist?

Thanks for all of your help! I am in uber planning mode right now and your answers will help me line out our trip!

As far as Sam's goes,you do have to book a room to get the free play and food.And as of October,the triple play .25 progressives are still there.I actually hit a royal on the middle line on one of the machines.They are back near the Dunkin Donuts.

Thanks BBKING!! Looking forward to getting out there. Congrats on your win!

Hope you have fun and a little luck at Sam's.It's my favorite place.

Mine also. Why risk taking your mother downtown?

TAKE YOUR MOTHER DOWNTOWN??????? WOW---I have stayed at the GN for years and feel safer than when we stayed on the Strip.

The Binion's swipe promo is ongoing, and should still be in place for your trip. They also have a couple other ongoing promos as well - free pull for up to $2500, and some promo slot machines back by the million dollar display.

That's great news, love all of the promos I can hit! Mom and I enjoy video poker so naturally we play downtown or off-strip.

From the mouth of a person who has never stayed at a decent place downtown, I'm sure.
