LVH free play downgrade

#1

$200/trip has been the norm for us for a few years; except for the period when the (MIA) FP Pick'em was reporting as a slot machine. Then we were "high rollers" (remember the "C1 and C2" rating days?).

Last 2 trips to Vegas have been getting $150 each NIGHT stayed and they have been very nice winning trips - apparently with the computer calling this to management's attention.

LVH offer for October thru December received and it is $50/month (room reservation required).

So, our home base casino in Vegas is dead but we went out with a bang.

Oh well, gotta find a new joint.

Really? So you're doing well there and seem to have a good time but that's not enough to keep staying there? As long as they keep giving you rfb who the hell cares about a few bucks on the free play. If free play makes or breaks your trip maybe you shouldn't be going on trips to Vegas.

I get $25/night, use to get $50. Last time I went, it was really sad there. Basically dead and there was only one 6/9 JOB machine with a "new" screen on it. On a plus note, I did get free golf for me and my buddy.

I, and I presume many other vpFREE members, care as much or more about freeplay than rfb.

Thanks for that bit of sense, Dunbar. Frankly, I couldn't make heads nor tails out of where dealt4oak is coming from.

In my own overall play accounting, freeplay comes out over 3x stronger than utilized comps (I'm a heavier than average comp hitter).

Far more. People gamble for all sorts of reasons, but if you are interested in the bottom line, you tend to discount the value of comps heavily... sometimes to zero. I haven't played LVH in many years, but at one time it was a very nice opportunity. Best CB rate in the area. Strong bounce. Great inventory with a few extra friendly machines. Easy comps and other free crap.

I was driving by a local casino the other day and noticed a billboard touting their notoriously bad buffet, "Free" after earning X# points. I had some fun calculating what it would be worth for me not to have to eat that buffet as I passed. How many points would I be willing to earn?

I have $250 in Lamps Plus gift cards ($100, $100, and $50) I earned at a casino. They can only be used in a store, not online. Anyone want them for $200? Please e-mail me privately if you are interested. I would rather let them go to someone here rather than a commercial online buyer.
