We made our donation. I agree with the change in pickem rewards we are losing interest also. We each saw someone get a royal. I hope to see one of those myself. Royals to all, have a great day. Ciao Don

Subject: [vpFREE_NewEngland] MS trip report
Left Friday at noontime from Boston. Followed 95 South and no
problems on interstates. Took Route 7 past Foxwoods - road not salted
well - but no traffic. Saw huge MGM Grand hotel at Fox. Wow!
Arrived mid afternoon at MS. Almost no one. Slant top Pickem's area
had just opened. I told my Sachem wife but she wanted to stay at
uprights.
She collected 250 points and I collected 75 points from mail offer.
Saw Boogie Wonder Band at Wolf Den. The place was empty. Show was
great. Sachem wife had $200 Gift from Host for Birthday Dinner. We
went to Summer Shack with two friends. Thanks MS. Host gave her a
Suite on Friday night. My first stay at MS suite. Reminded me of the
Zigarets at NYNY (sigh).
Saturday wife collected $250 for attending the $40K SUV drawing.
Winner was very happy and she had to decide whether to take $40K cash
or the $60K Navigator.
We broke even and generated 600 points from action plus the
entertainment, and freebies. Lot of fun.
I didn't have my heart into playing Pickem with the point changes.
Wife's going to Vegas/Laughlin on Tuesday for 4 days to collect >$1K
and gamble at FP 10/7 DB with Progressive, cashback, freeplay,
Suites, no pressure to maintain hugh theo action. Then the week after
we both go to Reno, Thank you Harrah's! There is FP Super DB
Mulstrike in RENO. There are plenty of other fair bets. Collecting
$400 as well.
David in Boston
