Hi folks - I just returned from a quick 1-nighter,
on my way back to CA.
I stayed at RPalms - on my monthly 1 free night with $15 cb.
In December, even on Friday 12/23, I was given a tower room.
Much closer than the ones I had past the Winners Wharf area in past.
I hadn't given much more than 1k-2k lately, but gave them a solid 4k
this trip. I broke even, and incentive for playing 800 pts was mainly
their logo wear.
Tu-Th-Saturdays are still 'logo wear' days - in which NO PTS deducted.
Earn pts for different items (100-200 for t-shirts; 550 for jackets;
700 for Duffle bag). Items change monthly.
ALSO - ONLY 1 item per day per account.
DW - I only counted scattered 4 + 3 uprights in 2 separate carousels
in Subway area. Most of the machines along rails seemed to be nickel
denom. (hence lower paying games). VpFree database correct on the rest.
Only a few slanttops/scattered as listed.
Live poker:
Harrah's now offers 'RCs - Rewards Credits' at about 75/hourly.
(.75c hourly). They have high hand bonuses, if you can make 4Ks or
SFs, there are different progressives for each high hand.
ALSO - Various daily promotions from opening until 7 pm.
(Tues. & Sat. = Aces cracked get $50; Wed. Kings Cracked;
Thrusdays - wheel high ST bonuses; Fridays club fl incl. 6c).
Odd promos, and $30 min. must be in the pot.
Games offered are 3/6 with a kill, and various NL games.
Ramada Express - poker room relocated to front near the keno station
in front; Nice area, with big windows looking out at the train
station and C. Belle across the street.
They spread a 2-6 limit game, adn 4/8.
Bonuses of $50 for 4ks; $75 for SFs; $200 for RF, both hole cards must
play. No comp pts on your card but play for 4-5 hours to qualify for
a food voucher from the poker room mgr.
Christmas/Dec. is a nice time to visit Laughlin, and Ramada has the
best OUTDOOR light display. C. Belle has the best INDOOR display,
with employees having an annual tree decoration contest.
Holiday trees in different themes are displayed throughout the casino,
including various wreaths at the Hotel Reg. area and slot cages.
I don't know if this was overlooked in database;
I saw 10/6/4 DDj games (old Sigma slanttops) for .25
about 4-8 scattered machines.
Happy New Year.
Martin.
