Free play 

I think the odds of your doing everything on your list are about googol to one, but it's nice to have a plan. I used to do a loose version of that myself, but I kept getting deflected by finding something I didn't know about that was worthy of my play/attention.

 

Nowadays, it's much easier. There are only three casinos in the Vegas area worth setting foot in. Makes planning very easy.

 

I don't consider $10 free play or a $25 matchplay to be worth a side trip (and it really won't be when gas hits $10/gallon), but it's a fun way for people to visit casinos where they haven't been before.

What place has the "Say hi to Mathew" promo?


I think it's the "D" .....they give you a chip for Mathew...and another one for your boarding pass....and another one for your LVA match play.    Best deal around.

 

Have fun.   What kind of gift is Tuscany handing out

Thanks.  It's a frying pan.  My son does quite a bit of cooking,  so always good to have on hand.

Sunday,  March 22- Even with a stop in Barstow for gas at Loves ($5.19 a gallon), we made it in just over 3 hours from Riverside to Vegas. 

 

After shopping (New Balance) at the South Outlet Mall and lunch at Olive Garden,  we checked into our HGVC timeshare on Paradise,  next to the Westgate.  

 

At the Westgate we played our freeplay.  I turned it into a hundred and wife cashed out $150.  I did the $10 match play,  but lost.  The International Bar was being remodeled,  so I played VP at the other bar next to the coffee place.  No good hits,  lost the hundred. 

 

Went to get Jen Kramer tickets with the LVA coupon, but they had a half price special that saved me $7 without using the coupon. 

 

After the show we played some slots, and each lost a few hundred.  Decided to go to the Sahara. I used the FP coupon for $10, and played it and my freeplay on VP (DDB) and cashed out $50. Gave it and a few more hundred playing various slots. Wife had better luck and was up a couple hundred.  Used food comps on some ice cream and cookies at their little sandwich spot by check in, before heading back to the timeshare for the night. 

 

Used three coupons.  The Westgate match play, free drink at the International Bar,  which had a make shift bar setup,  and the Sahara FP coupon.
