Question for Sue Casey and Frankie Rizzo

I just got to thinking since both of you work in casino's maybe you could answer this question. Do you think that business wise that things are getting better in Vegas or is business still way down?

Since both of you work in the service industry I feel like you two can probably tell more about the service levels better than just about anyone. Especially since our good friend casinoboss disappeared into thin air.

Business has been somewhat better at Aliante. There will be more promotions in the months ahead, and they're staffing up to fill positions that were laid off a year ago.

That's good to hear Sue. I hope that it gets better for everyone. I will down there in late February to help stimulate the economy!

Sue, we are coming to visit Aliante for two nights next weekend. We've stayed at GVR, RR, PS and SS but I hope it becomes our new favorite Station Casino! We do love the off strip hotels (also staying at M this trip). Do you know where any FPDW machines are at Aliante?

There are 19 FPDW machines at Aliante, scattered all around in groups of 3 or 4. One bank of 3 is right in front of the rewards center, in the no-smoking area. Another is at the east end of the casino near the movie theaters. Another is near the west end of the casino near the Access bar. I don't know for sure where the others are. They say either "Optimum" on the machines or "100% video poker." I'm sure the slot attendants can direct you to them. They have other full-pay games on them, as well -- 10/7 DB, 10/6 DDB, and Loose Deuces.
