Edso I will call the office on monday.  We are looking forward to a fun week


Got your number.   Will call in a bit.   Met Anthony and talked with him for about 10 minutes.   Very cordial guy.

Appreciate this info.  My wife just said,  "We're doing that!"


It worked out well for me last summer. Used the $50 match on roulette and won. 

 

I should add that they are pretty strict with the phrasing at Downtown Grand.

 

"Dave and Mark from Gamble Smart sent me" 

 

The first time I tried it I said a slightly different phrase and they said there was no promo that matches that phrase. Then I said the phrase correctly and they gave it to me.

Thanks.  Have been practicing.  LOL

Good work, Edso.  How is that HGVC on Paradise?  I  think thats the only one I havent tried yet in Vegas.   Good location for sure.

At least they gave you a mulligan!

 

Valuable promo, given that a matchplay is worth half of its face value. Did they give you a $25 or a $50?

It's really nice, PJ.   They just renovated the pool, and we like that it's really mellow compared to the Elara and the Flamingo properties.  We haven't stayed at the Cancun or the one just north of Circus Circus. 

Monday,  March 23- Wife and I went to the Tuscany for breakfast and to use our FP. Wife lost her $50 and a couple hundred playing the Prosperity slots.  I spent my $25 playing Cleopatras Wild Tiles and ended up breaking even with a nice bonus game hit.  It was 10x points today. 

 

Next we headed to the Orleans to use our FP.  Wife had $25 and I had $10.  No luck on Cleopatras Wild Tiles for me and wife didn't fair any better on Mo Mummy.   I also played the Goldfish game with no big hits.  We both lost a couple hundred. 

 

Before heading to Palace Station for lunch we stopped at Huntington Press to meet Anthony Curtis and get Brent Kline's number to connect for a downtown meet up on Tuesday.  Anthony was really nice.  We talked about the Jokers Wild closing. He said it was dead. 

 

We ate at Lindo Michuacan at Palace Station.   Really enjoy this place.  I had the enchilada and taco combo and wife had the chimichanga combo. We each played a hundo with no luck.  

 

Came back to the timeshare to rest and then headed to the MGM for David Copperfield using the monorail. It was a great show and we are stoked we got to see him before his last shows at the end of April.  

 

Headed straight back after the show to get a good night's sleep.  Tomorrow 3/24, is downtown day!

If I recall correctly it is for any amount up to $50 so I chose $50. I could be remembering wrong and it was 25 but I'm pretty sure it was 50.
