Our Laughlin Insider promoted the Sunday Brunch at Harlow's. We
liked the brunch at Jane's Grill quite a bit and thought we'd like
to try this on our next visit.Of course we want to use our Double Points coupon and pay for the
21.99 amount with our comps. This is one place I have trouble, so
please help me with the math.2 buffets at 21.99 = 43.98
Now earned comps are awarded at .0038%, we have a double point
coupon, so we will accumulate them at .0076%So it looks like the equation is
$43.98 = X * .0076
43.98/.0076 = X = 5768.84So will $5768.84 coin in earn us enough comps for two Sunday Brunchs
at Harlow's?(These word problems are really something)

Well you got % signs where you don't need them... .0038 is .38%.
So it sounds like you want to play the quarter VP with the 105 countdown,
$26.25 coin-in/pt. There are other countdowns for VP that run up to $35/pt.
Earn 200 regular points (at $26.25), $5,250 coin-in will get you $10 in
cashback and $20 in comps.
I guess they still are doubling comps on double point deals. So that $5,250
coin-in doubled gets you $20 cb and $40 comps. So your bottom line is correct.
The slot club day is 4am-4am. The multiplier coupons are hand adjusted
usually by noon the next day.
I too enjoyed the Jane's Grill Sunday Brunch and have not done the Harlow's
one yet. My only Harlow's meal was a graveyard special that I found favorable.
Linen napkins, heavy duty silverware and a giant mug for coffee made it
enjoyable. I don't think they do reserved seatings though like Jane's. Anyone
actually do this one yet?
