You are right, Jean about ‘child’ casino promos vs ‘mother’ property. Here’s an example from December: Suncoast (under B-Connected)/Boyd (Sam’s Town, et al) as main parent casino. As an out-of-towner, I was using up the last of my ACG (American Casino Guide) matchplay at the Rampart, and it was on a Thursday, where Suncoast happened to be having a December/Thurs only promotion (25 base pts earned gave you a prize via Kiosk swipe, after pts earned). So it was worth the visit. After the prerequisite 25 pts, I swiped and won a pretty nice prize: $100 slot (freeplay!). I just had to take the printed ticket back to the slot club (where I had planned to cash out a few pts for their nice logo wear – jacket/golf shirts at 5000 pts each – or $5 cb pts only!). I ran the freeplay through a bartop .25 Bonus Pkr machine, no 4-kind, but did cash out $110! Nice promotion! I never won that much on any type of bonus swipe promotion at Orleans/GC or ST. Kudos to Suncoast (or my lucky visit!). Only at SouthPoint did a friend and I get similar ($25 and $50 freeplay) after so manyh pts earned (probably more than 25).. …. So I’m all for some Variety in the promotions – esp if the ‘child’ casinos are competitive with their ‘parent’ casinos…

Is the free Pearl status for just signing up for the card or do you have to be approved for the card. Since my little health dealings, my credit rating has dropped and I know they won’t give me a charge card. Thank you.

Correction on South Point–it’s 2,000 coin-in for a spin, not 2,500. This makes the worst spin ($5 free play) still worth 0.25%. My experience, and a recent post by Don the Dentist on VpFree, seem to indicate that you won’t get the $5 99% of the time and the better stuff almost never, which is the case with a lot of kiosk promotions (and you can do the spin directly at your machine). So this one’s pretty good. The spins are almost certainly worth 0.3% or better; SP’s best promos have historically added 0.3%, so this is probably as good as it gets.

South Point’s Spin and Win promo is pretty good. You earn 2500 points and you get a spin, and the minimum prize is $5 free play. Last year, I played enough to spin 15 times and my average prize was $12; I got something better than the minimum about half the time. But even the worst prize is still an 0.2% bonus. You can get up to four spins a day, and the promo runs Sun-Wed.

Everyone talks about $10 parking fee at MGM. But no one talks about the $20 fee when there is an event at the arena. I took my family to the Park at the beginning of November and was told the free for locals didn’t apply. I assume none of the freebies or $10 fee will be $20 when there is an event going on.
PS- I have decided I won’t eat at restaurants or go to any events at a MGM casino.
