Still in second place for me behind GN.
Well it is the overall experience:
1) Location- in the middle of Casino Drive
2) Parking- roomy garage and the elevators put you in the casino
3) Standard issue room is the best on the river. Bellagio hand-me-down
beds. 25" TV with 30 cable channels. Fluffy towels. Sturdy table and chairs.
Coffee.
4) Friendly pit with great BJ and Craps
5) Playable VP, even in bartops
6) Straightforward marketing and promos
7) New Sportbar/book in Tarzans with Plasmas
8) Promos/Drawings that reward play and not eating, sleeping or breathing
9) Straightfoward cashback and comps, know what you got with card insertion
10) Debit card comps
11) Employees
12) Decent food choices
Drawbacks-
1) Only 300 rooms, need to plan ahead
2) Tim & Tom didn't screw with it and left Andre Carrier (GM) in charge, but
Barrick is taking over next year
3) When it rains it leaks
4) Any new VP game put in just sucks in the paytable
5) Playing BJ, the nearest bathroom is nextdoor at the Pioneer
6) Cocktailers come by way too often at the table games
7) Some bartenders try to entice you to sit down by opening Heinekens when
they see you walking by
