The Hard Rock promo isn’t as good as it first appears, because the base rate is a paltry 0.05%–as in 1/20th of one percent. Therefore, a 7X increase is equivalent to 0.35%. The best game available is Bonus Poker at 99.17%, so the multiplier alone doesn’t cover the loss you’ll suffer. That 5,000 bonus points is worth $5, and the rate is $2 coin-in = 1 pt. You therefore have to put through $800 coin-in to earn the 400 base points you refer to. This results in a roughly $6 theoretical loss at BP. The resulting 22,800 points are worth a little over $21. So you get a net of $15 for an hour or so’s worth of play. Good but not spectacular, especially since it’s only good once a day, two days a week. You could play FPDW at any one of a number of places and get that return in two hours or less.
Of course, what makes or breaks the deal is whatever mailers you get. Those seem to be pretty good from what I’ve gotten, but there’s a catch. The discounted rates they quote in their mailed/e-mailed offers are always “sold out” when you call. I’m sure that the low rates they offer (plus resort fee, of course) only apply to the two rooms on the second floor behind the steam boiler that don’t have any toilets.

Then add the free food, top shelf liquor, free play and comped rooms. Plus $17.99 1.5 lbs Loster dinner Fridays and 9.99 Prime rib AYCE Sundays Back Stage Pass is the best.

Though it’s less convenient than the 4Q garage, you can park at the El Cortez garage for free by showing the drone at the entrance a current players’ card. There are very few free parking options downtown, and most of the casinos charge for it or make you get a validation. It is truly amazing to me that the people who run casinos continually are thinking up ways to discourage people from patronizing their establishments! You can park for free at any casino on the Strip–kind of ludicrous that the Aria and Bellagio let you park for free, but the swanky Four Queens doesn’t!!!
Also, if you DO get a validation for your parking “privilege” at the 4Q, that three-hour limit sure as hell means you’ll be going somewhere else after a couple of hours. Just what they want–to give you a reason to leave!
Casino execs continually blame the economy, the government, the weather, anything but their own massively stupid decisions for the current malaise in the industry. You can screw people over for only so long, though, and eventually, they’ll start looking for other places to spend their money.
