Last-minute February New and Changed Info
Here’s a President’s Day freebie for all you outdoor lovers that don’t make casino holiday multiple points a priority in your life – and believe it or not, this describes not only many local residents but more out-of-town visitors than you might guess. On Monday, February 19, no entrance fees will be charged to visit Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. This is an important date in that it will be the last day before a new schedule of fees kicks in on Tuesday, February 20, one that will significantly raise, even more than double, your cost, depending on how you plan to enter.

The Palms
Remember how I told you in my blog early in the month how you could double-dip at the Palms by using the same points for two promotions for certain days. At the time I knew the casino was aware of this “problem” – for them but not for the customer! 😊 Via the grapevine I heard they were trying to close this loophole so beloved by all of us players. Well, they kinda did a few days ago by making a “rule” for the players club employees that they could not issue gift cards AND free buffet vouchers using the same earned points. However, many customers just went the club desk to get these at different times and there was no guidance to the employees on how to check whether the proper points had been earned.
I have talked to one casino employee who wasn’t sure how this was going to play out the rest of February with two promotions still running on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You can try to double-dip but I don’t guarantee your success. However, I was told the casino was going to change/adjust promotion days in March so this would definitely no longer be a player option. ☹
South Point
This is probably not a new promotion but is one that just came to my attention. South Point movie theaters are offering $4 movies for those 50+, not just on Monday senior day, but also on Wednesdays. This price is good for all showings on those days, except there is an additional fee for 3D and XD. You must show a South Point players card and ID.
Another discount day, for all ages, is Tuesday, with an all-day admission price of $5.25, with the same upcharges as just mentioned above. (This promotion is available company-wide for Cinemark theaters.) Also note that Tuesday Openings do not have this discount.
Inspirational Advice
“What helps luck is a habit of watching for opportunities, of having a patient, but restless mind, of sacrificing one’s ease or vanity, of uniting a love of details to foresight, and of passing through hard times bravely and cheerfully.” – Charles Victor Cherbuliez, a 19th-century French novelist.
Richard, this is a very complex question, having to do with volatility. Both of these games have negative EV plus playing 100-play at any denomination is a terrifying roller-coaster ride. My only suggestion for not losing so fast is to not play so many lines!!!!!
We like to play 100 play video poker. The bonus poker pay schedule is horrible 6/5, but we seem to last the longest because of the two pair paying 10 coins. The double bonus pays 9/6, but we have a hard time lasting. Any ideas? We are 7 Star.
SP was $4 for seniors everyday up to 4 or 6 pm. Can’t recall exact times. Has that changed to only M & W now?
