The Palms has extended the date of their “$200,000 Cash – Play, Earn, and Win” promotion that originally was to end this week. This Monday-through-Friday promo now goes on another week, finishing up on Friday, December 23rd.
This bonus promotion pays out in cash, not free play – and is on top of the regular point value. That is, when you pick up your “prize” amount, they do not take away any points. Pick up a copy of the rules at the slot club desk , which will show you the range of cash you can earn, depending on whether you play slots or video poker. As little as 350 slots points or 1500 video poker points will earn you a bonus of $5. At the other end, 84,000 video poker points will earn you $280. And, if you want to, you can do this bonus promotion every day Monday through Friday.
While you are at the slot club, pick up the rules for the “Holiday Green Backs” promotion that is also ongoing through December 23rd. This is a very very small-value promotion, but you can always use even a tiny scoop building your promotional ice cream cone.
Note: This is one reason I read the daily newspaper. This promotion extension that I hadn’t heard about anywhere else was mentioned in a Palms ad in the R-J. You never know when or where you will find a kernel of information that might help you make better gambling choices. I’m not saying that this promotion is for everyone, but the more options you have the better you can cherry-pick the best.
As VP players, we need to stay away from the Palms to let them know just what we think of their destruction of decent VP. And by the way, NSUD with the promotion is still much worse that FPDW without it. They take away two and give back one. We shouldn’t be grateful for that.
Jean,
I’m surprised that you would mention the Palms while ignoring that they have decimated their video poker in the last couple of months.
I know you write a column, not news, but I have not seen you shy away from criticizing other properties when they got greedy.
And last week when my wife & I placed the few DB machines left we noticed they were giving a fraction of the points they used to.
We’ve talked to long-time players who were no longer getting room offers. They were told their play was \too strong\.
RIP Palms.
Jack is correct. 1st time the Palms has turned me down for a comp room in ten years.
The Wynn is giving us three days comp with a $60 resort charge the last of January.
Palms Management are you out there??
I’m running! Since the new owners Palms has changed for the worse! Tight slots and VP. Garbage Buffet. There is no reason for me or anyone to go. U don’t go to a Casino for there petty promotions . Hopefully u go to win.
