Silver Legacy: airfare reimbursement limited to Barons
members &reimburesment has been doubled to 2 comp $ for ea airfare
$. Due to $900 limit for Barons, it means you can't get more than
$450 for airfare.

I was advised by TWO very knowledgeable Reno players, in whom I have
the utmost confidence, that NO VP PLAYERS WILL EVER BE GIVEN BARON'S
STATUS, no matter the amount of their Coin-In! One of these heavy
players ran through almost $400K in two days on his last trip and
was denied a reasonable "discretationary comp" request, and told to
use his banked comps instead! Both of them told me that they were
given this information by their (different) hosts, that it was a new
MGM directive, and that it applied to future SL tier levels, as well
as to downgrading the status of current Baron level VP players.
I was dropped one level from Barons to Sterling
=================================================
No doubt because you play mostly VP!
& played over the $600 limit for Sterling. No way to get
back the comp amt lost due to limit so be sure to check acct & level
before playing.
This is SOOOO typical of the SL attitude. Why should there be ANY
comp limit? My friends have tried to get around this by checking
their comp level frequently. If they are close to the limit, they go
shopping in a seriously overpriced SL shop. How many Tommy Bahama
sport shirts can one use? ((O:
Since they've 86'd the nice BBC, there is not much reason for a VP
player to patronize them anymore. The exception is if you're
strictly a .25c player and love FPDW & FPDW. They do have those
games, IF you can find them! There are a few, but they are well
hidden w/i other M/G machines, and are frequently moved to new
locations.
