Did I read that right? A royal flush $500 free-play bonus? At the Plaza? In the Sand Dollar Lounge? Am I DREAMING? Great music and free drinks playing Jacks or Better at 100.65?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took all my self-control not to jump on a plane, but I\u2019m still recovering from my recent medical emergencies and surgeries, so I\u2019m handing it to all you APs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love the Plaza (will be writing more about it in the next few blogs). CEO Jonathan Jossel is doing everything right, in my humble opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the Plaza\u2019s recent EDM Festival in the parking lot (I love the band Jungle) and their FP VP, single- zero roulette, matchplays, Pink Box donuts, Hash House A Go Go, pizza, and much more. Also their location at the Circa end of Fremont Street\u2019s not too shabby either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve tried to use my free-champagne MRB coupon at Circa, but I keep getting comped. Wow. It\u2019s a tough job, but hey, somebody, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trivia: The Plaza bought the first round of Fontainebleau furniture sold off by Carl Icahn out of bankruptcy. Nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I digress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I loved 9\/6 JOB (mostly graduated to higher tighter VP). Back in the day, it was my go-to game, with its low variance and two units for your second pair. God Bless America, that\u2019s a beautiful thing. Sorry, Macklemore! (That\u2019s a Plaza joke.) And now I can play it with a $500 free play bonus? Katie (Perry?) bar the door \u2014 right after I get in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding .1% for comps and using the Wizard of Odds calculator, I get a return percentage of 100.68.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you win, there\u2019s a slight EV loss playing $500 free Play through 9\/6 JOB. Or heck, go throw it at the slots. Your choice, baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How did I miss this fabulous advantage-play coupon until now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do peruse Anthony\u2019s list in the Las Vegas Advisor of the expected value of the MRB\u2019s gambling coupons, but this coupon wasn\u2019t there! And the coupon index in the back of the MRB listed it simply as a royal flush bonus. Yawn. Most of them are like \u2026 well, they\u2019re not $500 in free play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glad I was actually looking through the MRB. It\u2019s coupon 46.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And here\u2019s my challenge: Try walking into Pink Box and buying just one donut. Then go over to the Sand Dollar and soak up some positive expectation JoB, great music, and free drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you hit it, send a photo to A.C. for the weekly YouTube and thank me in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happiness is full-pay 9\/6 Jacks or Better with a $500 coupon!
