If you’re a Platinum-tier card holder staying at the Flamingo in Las Vegas, you can give the hotel your flight information and they’ll get your airplane boarding pass for you. Once while staying at Paris-Las Vegas, I asked and was told they didn’t provide that service. So it’s not the same across all their properties, or at least it wasn’t when I asked. Can you tell me which of the Caesars Entertainment properties will provide this service and what player’s-club tier status you need to have? Do any other player’s clubs provide this service? It’s a nice perk that helps make you feel a little special, and with so many perks being taken away these days, it’s nice to know what’s still available. Most of this information is not publicized.

I love Pai Gow Poker. The Downstream Casino, outside of Joplin, Missouri, has just changed from 6-card to 7-card. No commission on either game. The new 7-card is licensed by Galaxy. The wheel is the 2nd best straight. If you have to use the joker in the high hand, without having an ace or better in the low hand, the best you can do is push; you can’t win. That makes up for commission-free.

Tonight, on videopoker.com, I was playing 10-Play Triple Double Bonus Poker. I was dealt the ace, 2, 3, and 5 of diamonds, and the ace of spades. Given the chances of an inside straight flush against what four aces (particularly with the kicker) pays on Triple Double, I held the two aces, which I believe was the right hold. After the draw, the first card in three out of the 10 hands had, in fact, the 4 of diamonds. So I would have connected on three straight flushes had I kept the four- card straight flush. I’m trying to calculate the odds of this result and the nearest I can compute is 1/47 times 1/47 times 1/47 (since the three hands were independent events) or approximately 1 in 103,000.
