Thanks for the information. Perhaps this weekend you will be able to
find out what the situation is with the comp policy. I really guess
if you come in with a RFB deal, what else can you do with the comps?
That is good enough for me. I too have been getting RFB for about 2
years now, and I certainly enjoy it. I also concentrate my play in
one day, and my last visit after Thanksgiving, I put through over 12K
with the help of GRAYTLEEGRAY playing on my card. I continued to use
the free meals, and actually fed 4 people in my group by spacing out
the meals. Who knows- I always wonder, like you that if the next time
I check in I will hear the words "Your Busted Buddy!" I hope you get
the $1,000 cash envelope at the dinner.
   Maybe a lot of things have changed with the comp system since
the
first of the year.  I will know better after next weekend.  I
booked
the Valentine" offer last week.  My host was off duty and I was
telephoning from out of town last Monday.  I booked the offer from
woman named Veronica.  I only booked 3 nights of the 5 night
offer.
Upon booking I asked what the fine print of "Comp Dollar charge for
this event" meant.  She simply said "never mind, that was a
misprint"
   I accepted her answer and did not pursue it further.  However,
it
may be a sign of changes that have been made.  I just do not think
it
will have anything to do with this offer.  FWIW, I was told there
were only smoking rooms available last as of last Monday.  I
accepted
the room since I also have a non smoking room booked at Harrah's.
I
had also booked Harrah's previously to take advantage of a golf.
After returning home, I emailed my host, Sharon, about preferring
a non smoking room.  I have not heard back, but simply will not use
is if smoke is a problem.
   Since last Super Bowl weekend, it is an anniversary of sorts, I
have been receiving full RFB at the Belle.  The first time
I thought this must be a mistake.  I am not sure what play level
has
obtained this benefit.  However, I usually will put on about 4,000
points playing just video poker.  I make it a point to concentrate
my
in one 24 hour period and one day of play for every 3 nights stay.
If I stay 5 nights I would play 2 days at that level.  I very
seldom
want to stay 5 nights.  Each visit I wonder how close I am to their
threshold.  Each visit has basically put me in a nicer room and now
suites.  I also keep being moved up floors on the boat.  The last
time I made it to a top deck with a river view.
   Please understand that I am not boasting about my situation, but
rather describing what I have done and what has resulted.  As I
have
said, I do not know if this can or will be maintained, but it has
been a good year for food and drink at the Belle.  To us a room is
basically a room if it is clean.  I do not sit around in their
robes
or worry about gift baskets when I have RFB.  I do like the nicer
TV's that have come with the better rooms.  What is it with those
old
