Monte Lago/was: Fiesta vs El Cortez

The $99 offers even go to us lowly quarter players <g>. FYI, we are
regulars there and I had a nice chat with one of the staffers about room comps.
Basically, table players can get them with serious action. Slot players can't
regardless. That is what I was told anyway.

The trouble with Fiestas (both of them) as far as room comps go is

that the adjoining hotels are relatively small by Vegas standards;

thus, the host(s) may simply be UNABLE to comp you on a busy
weekend.
That said, Fiesta Henderson is a better bet than Fiesta Rancho.

You know what I would do? I'd try the Monte Lago. Over 600 FPDW,
FPJoker, etc.---quarter player's heaven. As generous as their
monthly
locals' mailers have been, I would think they'd welcome a visiting

player who wanted to get "established" with open arms.

Rock;
I like Monte Lago myself, but I don't think a room comp at the Ritz
Carlton isn't likely to happen for a quarter player. I do know of a
dollar play who has generated an offer of $99/night. Also, do they
still advertise over 600 full pay games? They have shorted a lot of
machines in the last month.
Thanks,

I'm sure $99 is a great price for a Ritz Carlton*. In some cities
that will hardly get you a basic motel room. Of course folks like us
(players) are spoiled. We are used to getting complimentary great
rooms and meals in world class hotels in a great resort city.
