Do you know of anyone who has taken advantage of the Canadian dollar at par offer downtown?
We certainly do -- and regular readers of our Vegas News feature will surely recognize the name Canada Roy, who lives for his frequent trips to Las Vegas.
He tells us, "I was originally staying at the Downtown Grand for US$299. But as soon as the par deal was announced, I booked at the D for US$323. That turned into CDN$323, worth US$237 at the time of check-in. So right off the bat, I saved US$62 (CDN$84) with that first transaction.
"Later, I exchanged CDN$500 (US$368) for US$500 in free play. I posted up at the Vue Bar and played 8/5 BP with that wonderful 3-way progressive. After playing it through, I cashed out with US$449 for a US$81 win (CDN$110) ... and I didn't even hit a 4-of-a-kind!
"The promotion netted me a total profit/savings of US$143 or CDN$194.
"My savings/profit is actually on the low end of what people can expect. My LVA rate at DTG was US$299 for 5 nights. Most people's starting rate at this or another hotel will be significantly higher, so they'll save even more by switching to The D.
"Also, assuming perfect (or semi-perfect) play, 400 hands of VP give you an even-money (I think) chance at a 4OAK, which would net an additional profit of about US$31.25 to US$100.
"Bottom line, this promo is an absolute no-brainer for Canadians ... and you don't have to stay at The D/Golden Gate to take advantage of the at-par free play offer."
Thank you, Roy. Well done in every way.
