Pioneer- the Snack Bar was remodeled and is open 24/7. They revamped the menu adding panini style sandwiches among other things. But the coffee shop closes overnight now.
I did the new "Beat the Deck" promo in Sassy Sues Saloon only available on the 11 bartop Gamemakers. The Entertainer has the details. But what I failed to recognize is they lowered the Jacks to 8/5 from 9/6. It took a couple hundred hands to see the change. This rookie move shows that I am no vp-connoisseur at this time.
For the first time the Triple Deuces with wildcards qualifies for this Natural Quads Bonus, a first.
The other end of Sassy Sues has the $1 8-coin Jacks 9/6 progressive. It was fun to watch the chase for the $9,000+ royal and $900+ straight-flush.
No Feb/March mailer yet for me and the Pioneer website has yet to turn the page. The Entertainer/Promos section has details of the strong Feb/March promos though.
Colorado Belle- Pints (Boiler Room) is finally serving home brews again made by Marshall Redmond.
While staying in the New Orleans Tower I got the option to decline housekeeping for a $5 coupon good for food or free-play. You just hang a special sign on your room door by 2am and they slip a coupon under the door.
In this weeks Entertainer is this tidbit:
Colorado Belle: "Flip You For Dinner"
When: Through February 24
Prizes: Possible free dinners for party of four
Format/Entry: This is a most unique promotion available in Mangia! Italian restaurant within the Colorado Belle on Thursday nights, through Thursday, February 24. When it's time to settle the check, you can flip a coin for the dinner tab. If you win the toss, you dine for free (maximum of four people per check). If you lose the flip, you simply pay the bill as you would have without the toss.
So are you a gambler?
River Palms- They ripped out the downstairs island bar. That whole end is now bare.
They are doing tribute style bands on Saturday nights in their club 2700. I missed the U-2 one, but Jumping Jack Flash is playing Feb 5th. I saw this band in EW/Kokopelis awhile ago. They could be worth the $10 cover ($5 for locals). Anyone see a show in the 2700 club?
River Run is April 27th-May 1st this time around. CB's Blues & Brews Festival is rumored to be Easter weekend again.
