October Vegas Promotions

GENERAL

In past months I have suggested checking for casino promotions and offers in the Las Vegas Review-Journal – hard-copy or online.  Here is a hint for online readers:  some coupons can be printed from the Web site.  Check here.

TUSCANY

Tuscany is mixing it up again in October.  10x points continues on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.  Wingo remains on Tuesdays and rules are the same as I gave last month.  However, there are no gift card days this month. 🙁

Some Thursdays are days for free gifts if you get a mailer (11^th and 25^th) – or you can earn the gift with 300 points.  On the 4^th and 18th you can get a 6-pack of beer for 300 points, limit of 4 per customer.

Saturdays are called Mystery Free Play Days, described as “your chance to win up to $500.”   (Doesn’t specify a minimum.) They say it is pre-loaded to your account so I don’t know if this would be available for players who just join the club this month or if you had to have an account before October 1st.  Ask this question if you join this month.

PALMS

The “Play, Earn, and Win” promotion continues on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with the usual earn-stuff option.   From the 9^th to the end of the month, every Tuesday there is a Swipe and Win promo that doesn’t require any earned points.  And there are cash drawings every Friday and Saturday nights.

Here’s a sad note for a lot of us:  Today (September 30) was the last day for Gardunos.  It closes tomorrow and will be replaced with a” sports bar that will appeal to women.”  Bet it doesn’t attract me, but then I’m not in the age group the Palms is wooing these days!

ELLIS ISLAND

A discouraging change here for a lot of us.  The 9/6 JoB in the bank of video poker machines near the players club desk has been downgraded to 9/5 at all the levels, from 50-cents to $5.

Another change, this one good:  the BBQ restaurant has moved to an area beside the sports book.  Hope they leave the booths in the old location so there is a place to sit when we have a slice of pizza or a sandwich from the Boardhouse.  I hate having to eat at a dirty machine!

GOLD COAST

Check out Scot’s bonus-point list for lots of October goodies here.  There are more than what were mentioned in the mailers.  And remember, sometimes there have been last-minute additions advertised in the Sunday newspaper.

That’s all for now.  If you know more good – or bad – news, put it in the “Comments.”
