We love going to this casino – and we will probably always refer to it as Rincon. That is the name we called it for years – and it is so much shorter to say and type!
The corner suites we get in the new tower are spacious and luxurious, with a large patio which is the perfect place to enjoy a room service breakfast while taking in the mountain view on two sides. And a Jacuzzi is always a welcome feature when we need to relax in the evening and loosen up tired shoulder muscles after some hours of play on a video poker machine.
We love the spa. Brad usually only gets a facial, but I go all in – a full body scrub followed by a clay cover treatment, a facial, and then a massage for every muscle that is even thinking about hurting. I come out of there a regular Raggedy Ann, my skin so soft and limbs so relaxed I can barely make it up to our room!
And before I forget it – I was asked after our last trip what was in the small pretty shopping bags 7* players are given when they check in. They are a nice amenity package: 2 bottles of water, 2 bottles of soda (your choice of regular or Diet), and many small packets of snacks (various kinds of nuts and candies and other munchies).
This last trip was a special VIP event organized by our regional host – formerly from the Chicago area, meeting her back when we used to go to the Hammond Horseshoe, but now working out of San Francisco. On Sunday she had arranged for her group (mostly from Chicago but a few “strays” like us) to attend the Pacific Classic at Del Mar Racetrack. Continue reading →

Well, many of the readers here are active in this area and did share their experiences, especially with myVEGAS. Mark, of www.markslasvegas.com, was one of the people who did give a lot of information in the “Comments.” However, he gave even more details to me privately, so I am going to copy his e-mail here since many have expressed an interest to learn more about this: Continue reading →
