Jean, you once listed a newspaper website that listed all types of las vegas casino info. It was very helpful. My computer crashed and I lost it. Could you or any of your followers tell me what it was?

The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino has rocketed straight to the top and is now offering one of the best players programs in Las Vegas. July features 20X/7X on Sat/Sun. 300/600 free Lunch/Dinner Mon/Tue/Wed. 250 free bottle Thu, Big price Drawing on Fri. Room rates for players starts at $19, $10.99 all you can eat prime rib Sundays. $1 in = 1 point on slots and $2 in is 1 point on Video Poker. 1000 points = $1 free play or resort credit. In my monthly mailer I also got 7 times $10 freeplay and 3 times $10 dining credit for the month. Yes the Hard Rock has really steped up their game. Good luck everyone.

Jean, as an out-of-towner who must travel 1,250 miles to visit Vegas, I come out about 4-5 times a year at most. I don’t rent a car (expense/traffic, etc.), so IF I venture away from my HQ hotel on the strip to, say, downtown, I either take a taxi or the Deuce. Therefore, my interest in local casino promotions is on the low side. And consequently, I don’t mind if these casinos wish to cater only to “locals.” I wouldn’t be playing at these casinos enough the move up even one notch on the pecking order.

As far as the strip casinos marketing (rather NOT marketing) to locals, I don’t understand that philosophy. I can only guess, though. If one is a “local,” one can play enough quarter VP throughout the year to manage to be Diamond at Caesar’s/Harrah’s, for example. So, I’m wondering out loud as to whether that casino group, or any other major casino group, wants to dilute their upper tier(s) with locals. I can’t imagine the Diamond lounges accommodating all the locals who might otherwise qualify. I’m not elitist…just a realist.

I am from out of town and yes the “FOR LOCALS ONLY” multiple-point days are truly an insult! I have been going to Boyd properties in order to take advantage of them for several years and it makes me feel like they no longer want my business!
