Sept.24-30 Four hotels in six nights

Great TR - thanks for posting! Too bad the Ellis Island promo ended. That's one check of a promo, and you played it for all it was worth!
Thanks, Irishjames23 for your very interesting and frugal going TR -- especially for Team Irishjames' double teaming on the Ellis Island Coin change promotion!

I do know that those slots can get expensive. Some more coin dropping Quarter 9/6 JOB machines should also still be found at California Casino on the second floor the casino (unless maybe they've been moved).

You are correct about the coin droppers at the Cal.
We have a great time trying to get all we can out of Vegas when we are there. As much as it sounds like we are frugal we also spend very foolishly on food and Margaritas. Though I could not stand the thought of paying for a beer or just a regular drink like Bacardi and Coke or a Crown and coke. We have found that some places such as the Cosmo, Wynn, and the M will also comp premium mixed drinks such as Margaritas, Mojitos and Bloody Mary's. These are great places to slow play the penny machines, tip the waitress well and enjoy some really good drinks.

I keep trying to post on these boards as it has gotten really slow ever since the Great Depression. Also it appears as many people were run off by a few smart asses. Over the years I have enjoyed many trip reports and also learned many of my low rolling ways into free or discounted rooms, food, and drinks.

So to all of you people out there start posting and asking questions and let's get this board back up and jumping.

Well that's good! And with smart play, that can leave you with more $ to do whatever else you may want to do!
