Hi Scot,
My Orleans mailer says 7x Dec 5 (1st day of Hanukkah) and 25 (Xmas). Also saw signs to this effect in the casino. My mailer also says 7x Dec 16-22. I don't have a Gold Coast mailer in front of me, but I believe GC and Orleans have exactly the same 7x days, while Suncoast is completely different - go figure.
With the new color scheme on LVA (white text on black background), it's hard to tell now what updates you actually make each time, at least for me on my system. Perhaps you can use a color to highlight what's changed in *addition* to bold type, which is hard to discern when it's white text on a black background.
[Note: I found out that if you click on the "Screen Color" tab, you can switch to a white background, which makes it easier to see the bold type, which is now in black. It's somewhat cumbersome, though - you have to click your browser "Back" button and then refresh the page in order for the background change to take effect.]
Thanks as always for your efforts.

If you want to be precise, 10X points at Tuscany do not start until
noon on 12-31-07, according to signage in casino.

John,
This may be easier for you. While you are on the page in question, on
your browser's menu bar, click on edit, then select all, and all should be
readable.

Thanks, nudge. Not exactly a permanent solution, but a good workaround nonetheless. I was hoping to "nudge" Scot into a fix for the masses (oh sorry, that was a painful pun)
I can't resist labelling this method "Nudge's Kludge" ;=) BTW, Ctrl+A is the quick (Windows) keyboard way to do it (I think it's option+A on the Mac).

I can fix the dates but I have no control over the webpage design! It seems
that Suncoast/Sam's Town and Orleans/GC run similar but still not exactly
the same.
