Attended the "red white and blue" slot tournament ( one of their better events ) at Atlantis M/TU starting on Presidents day. I managed to win $50 tournament cash, but my friend Dave, who is a member of this group finished 8th for an $800 cash prize! They had a really nice awards dinner with super bowl party type food.
Offers: $50 in free slot play.
Restaurants: Purple parrot coffee shop ( excellent ) and Toucan Charlie's buffet ( going downhill ). All were comped for my $12K/day action.
Check-in: fast, but had to wait till 2PM to get my keys from my host since the room was not ready.
Room - players suite - great !

Bottom line: I finally beat this place for $300 , after 4 straight losing trips here. Once again the sky terrace beat me for about $400, but the main floor was enough to carry me to victory. I still like this place, a very comfortable place to gamble, and met some of the really nice people from this group over there for the slot Tournament. Its a classy place, and easy to relax and have a great time playing Video poker. I left a winner, and walked over to the Peppermill for my next adventure.
