So does FP VP earn bonus reward credits in the big easy or are
machines set with low theo a la Caesars LV? I'm guessing I'm gonna
have lots of time for sight seeing and pigging out.

Chandler, I hope you re-consider playing HET NOLA. In my opinion,
it is one of HET's "best-kept little secrets."
We too were concerned about the zero bonus points we had read
about. But after 8 NOLA trips in the last 12 months, we now
understand the method in their madness.
First, the zero bonus credits are only on 6 machines -- the 3/5/10
play FP machines. From the vpFree database, you will notice there
are many playable $1 and above single-line games (including 9/6
JoB), about 20 or so. On these machines you earn about 1:1,
bonus:tier.
Now 1:1 is nothing to brag about in most HET's. But after several
trips to NOLA, we began to see why NOLA offers such a low ratio of
bonus to tier you really don't use reward credits while in NOLA.
They send so many dining credits, reel play vouchers, no charge for
both-way airport stretch (soda, liquor, water, ice provided),
airfare reimbursement, and free shows & events. After 3 trips in 3
months, we are now given discrectionary comps for all of our room
charges without depleting our rc account and no reward credits
taken.
NOLA has been working very hard to get people to return after the
hurricane, so they are allowed to step out of the HET norm of how
they do things. Besides the above-mentioned, some other unique
perks are 1) if you have no airfare reimbursement offer, you can
take you flight itinerary to VIP services, and they will reimburse
you in cash from your reward credits. 2) You can bring your
receipt from almost any restaurant in NOLA to VIP, and they will
reimburse you in cash from your reward credits. 3) There are many
tours & and tourist sites that they will comp upfront or take out of
your reward credits.
Stop by the VIP services, and see what is available to you and how
the reimbursements work. If this is your first trip to NOLA, ask a
host about discretionary comps after your play.
One negative of NOLA - .25 vp is not so good.
We are taking advantage of this little sweetheart deal in NOLA until
HET finally decides they have re-built their customer base and down-
grades vp and offers. But it is too good a deal to pass on at
present.
Of course, YMMV.

Well, I had considered giving them a no play stay in an attempt to
preserve my theo, or at least not to give them a lot of action while
hurting my theo. I am very heartened by your post and have
reconsidered. The single plays are more my speed anyway. I'll
definitely inquire about using comp credit for airfare and off
property dining.
Extremely helpful information, Donna! Thanks so much.
