Thanks for your advice, Brian, I will certainly try Palace
Station. If I like it, I would consider staying there as well,
though I know there are no other casinos within walking distance. I
am basically a .25 denom. player, occasionally I switch to .50
denom. when I'm doing really well (though, I must admit, that
sometimes puts an end to my winning streak!) Due to the long hours
that I play, I have been fully comped all over downtown, except the
GN, where I haven't stayed in years. It seems the GN has only 9/7DB,
and 8/5Bonus. Am I missing something? Since I don't play dollars,
I'm sure the CB wouldn't compensate for those pay schedules. What
do you play there?
I play $5 9/6 JOB on Wed/Fri (double points for locals, comes to .67% CB).
Only played a couple of days in the past year or so, $5 machines are a tiny bit
rich for me, especially with such a small advantage.
I hate the Palms because of their extreme hipster ambiance. I
stayed there 3 times, had my room only comped each time, and did
well at their nice selection of vp. I was uncomfortable playing in
the evening, when the music blared, and the BJ tables were filled
with 7 foot tall basketball players and their ladies. I guess I
prefer a quieter, older crowd, when I'm playing. And yes, it
annoyed me that I ran $8,000+ a day through their machines, and
never received any mail from them.
I agree about the loud music. However, if you play before 4 PM, the music
volume is much lower, comparable to other casinos. And since I don't play
anything but vp, the table game atmosphere doesn't matter to me. Don't take the lack
of mailings personally. Out-of-towners don't receive much from the Palms,
especially if you "only" play $8000/day. Not an insult, just the facts. At that
daily rate, you should get casino rate, not much more. Sorry.
I have rec'd nice mail offers
from every other casino I've ever stayed at, including the
Peppermill and Silver Legacy, in Reno, where I am also fully comped.
I guess the Palms marketing dept.doesn't like me anymore than I
like them.
Anyway, thanks for your reply and go hit a couple of Royals.
Thanks, I hit one today on $2 10/7 DB at the Palms. Felt good!
Good luck on your next trip!
Brian
