Great Race for Rewards 2012?

kiwiboy1-Rio has some kiosks. I have a relative there in LV now and said there were some at the Rio. I can't speak for the other casinos in LV, but at least they have some there.

Someone mentioned about driving routes-here are a couple that I will be doing:

1 weekend:

Chicago to Cleveland 5 hours driving (2 points)
Cleveland to Windsor 2.5 hours driving(2 points)
Windsor to Chicago(Hammond) 4.5 hours driving(2 points)

Second weekend(and this one I did last year and this leg was brutal-and I didn't have Elizabeth and Metropolis in the mix last year)

Chicago to Elizabeth, IN 5 hours driving(2 points)
Elizabeth to Metropolis 4 hours driving(2 points)
Metropolis to St. Louis 2.5 hours driving(2 points)
St. Louis to Kansas City 3.5 hours driving(2 points)
Kansas City to Council Bluffs 2.5 hours driving(2 points)
Council Bluffs to Chicago 6.5 hours driving

Yes, week 2 is a total of 24 hours of driving, but I have a 3 day weekend in the month of August, so I will be breaking the driving up over 3 days. And the mileage is going to be brutal(just under 1600 miles), but it will be worth it.

My understanding was that St. Loius was one point---is that wrong?






Yes St Louis is only one point.

That was my mistake....it is only 1 point...but I am looking at it all as being no big deal. Yes, it will be a lot of time in the car, but it will be worth it in the long run!
Just got back from Las Vegas. Rio had a little computer with a swipe at the far left of the Total Rewards desk. The people behind the desk didn't appear to be monitoring it. I was able to swipe 4 cards without a problem. Just walked up and bam, all done.
Report from AC. There are specific promotional kiosks for this promo. You just need to swipe. I swiped after I had earned 25 tier credits.
Starting my Great Race , Joliet 7/19 , Cleveland 7/28 ,Windsor 7/29 Laughlin 8/7 to8/11. 9 points if all goes well.
Good Luck Always,
Dick From Milwaukee
Wow Dick you were just mentioned in an earlier post about old timers. I hope you and Pat and doing well we haven't seem you on the boards in a while. I know when I saw you in LV you were a bit under the weather.

I miss your comments about printing out each and every TR.

That is VERY good news! Rio was the last one I checked and was pretty much sick of looking for Kiosks at that point. Thanks for the update.
