		<description><![CDATA[Not Las Vegas, but a Gulf Coast casino.  Coupon for $60 if I present a travel receipt, e.g. gas receipt or boarding pass, etc.  &quot;after 2 hours of tracked play.&quot;  No problem.  I played longer to be sure I got the 2 hours in.  But...nope, the boothling looked at my account,  said &quot;You have only played one hour and 42 minutes.&quot;  Something like that.  I guess every second spent ordering drinks, taking sips, changing machines,  quick trips to the restroom...no good, must be continuously banging away at the play button.  I left, not my favorite casino anyway.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[These days a lot of casinos punish you for getting a W2G, so you&#039;re best to make it a big one, $5 jacks with the 239 straight flush is a good play, also play the strategy that maximizes the return of the non-royal hands found by setting the royal to zero, you may as well get the most of your play before you hit that eventual royal and W2G. Some casinos have a &quot;timeout period&quot;, they&#039;ll let you know when they want you back, in the meantime play at the other casinos, at least there&#039;s no shortage of casinos these days. Consider it a challenge to get a W2G at every casino in the US, then branch out to the world.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another type of promo that you often can&#039;t take advantage of is a bounceback promo. &quot;Play $100 on Saturday, get $10 free play on Tuesday&quot; is worthless if your flight leaves Sunday night. Also, most new member loss rebate promos force you to come back at intervals to pick up the rebate--but in increments, spread over several days, which you may not have available. You also can&#039;t take advantage of a promo if it&#039;s so hyper-specific date- and time-wise that you simply can&#039;t get there in the narrow time window available to you (&quot;Why wasn&#039;t Fred at the wedding?&quot; &quot;He had $50 free play at the Rampart, and it was only good today.&quot;)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the East Coast  the mailers are about the same except:
The &quot;vacation tourist season&quot; starts about the end of May so hardly anyone gets free rooms during those times, I have asked and been told that availability is based on whether or not there is an expected large tourist time. The tourist will pay top dollar because it is a&quot; vacation. &quot;
No problem if they don&#039;t want to give us good or free rates, we can always save up and come to Vegas!!!!

		<description><![CDATA[So true.  I use to get flight to Laughlin, until last year about this time I won a hand pay about 1,500....now, Harrahs has removed Laughlin from my choice of city online and no more mailers.  After lots of communication to correct the situation, I was told it was because I won to much....1,500.00. Ha!  I hate to think what they do if you win double that!]]></description>
