playing/staying at Ballys/Paris

#1

You can stay at either Ballys or Paris and play at either or both and it is
all combined as one. But I don't know if you could stay at those and play at
Caesars. Ask a host.

Also players should try to book through a host and ask to check in at the
VIP check-in area where you can get some free soda and booze. And ask host for
access to the VIP rooms in the high roller areas of Paris and Ballys where
there are snacks on weekends, water, champagne, etc. You also need special
key access to use the rest room in Ballys High Roller area.

I don't dispute that Ballys/Paris may still be a good high rollers
play, but with the removal of the Pickem games and the lack of any
decent quarter plays it is no longer a decent place to play for mid
and low rolling VP players.

I spent many hours on the dollar pickem machines there. It was a good
play, I had some good trips and some bad ones. I had a steady stream
of free room offers from marketing and we stayed at Paris for a
couple of nights on every one of our trips to Las Vegas.

With the current VP inventory, I am moving on. There are many better
plays around. -JFR

What else would you recommend on the Strip? I am usually making my
trips to LV with people that want to stay in one of the nice Strip
casinos. I always make side trips to places like MSS or the Palms
for the VP. But if I want to try to maximize room offers while
finding some decent $.25/$1 machines, what would people recommend?
Keep in mind I generally make 1-2 long-weekend trips per year, and I
usually play 9/6 Jacks or 8/5 BP for $1, FPDW or DDB for $.25.

I stayed at Paris last time, but I've had a nightmare trying to check
my comps online (I set up a PIN while in LV but it doesn't recognize
it online). And if Harrah's purchase does go through, I will
probably write off all of the current Caesar's properties.

My next trip is in a couple of weeks & I'm staying at the Mirage (for
a conference). I don't expect to do a lot of gambling there due to
the high minimums for tables and decent VP.

Thanks in advance for any advice people can offer.
