selling casino gifts

#1

Some casinos do not want you to sell any gifts you get, such as gift cards.
Harrah's is the main one, so my advice is to give gift cards to friends or
use yourself. Macy's has furniture, clothing, and a lot more, and can also be
used online.

In any event, never post that you want to sell cards or other gifts on a
yahoogroups, because the casinos are watching us and they could become upset and
contact you.

Agree - Often you have a choice of gifts thus choose what you can use or what makes a good gifts. They call them gift's thus use accordingly. Why antagonize anyone? As for the casinos monitoring these groups this can be used to our advantage as well as they can pick up hints of what we like, good promotions, food, non smoking playing conditions, not having housekeeping wake us up when the do not disturb sign is on the door with a phone call, $1M free play daily, etc.

You're kidding, right?

A casino offers you a gift because they want to get you in their building,
to play. It's not a token of personal esteem. It's an incentive, nothing
more. The house doesn't get offended if you don't keep the gift for
yourself once you leave. All they care about is that you come, and play.

Once you accept their offer, visit their casino, play and leave, the
transaction is over. The gift is yours. You don't owe the casino anything
in perpetuity. So you can sell it, re-gift it, or shove it pretty much
anywhere you want if the mood strikes. It's not like your host is going to
sniff haughtily and say "MissCraps sold her Visa gift card, I don't want her
action anymore." It's YOUR PROPERTY and once it changes hands the casino
has no right to tell you what to do with it.

Seriously. Do you think that anyone at Terrible's loses a wink of sleep
because I use their free t-shirt to mop my sweat off when I get out of the
tanning bed, instead of wearing it?

They get offended at any litle thing. If they wanted you to have cash,
they would give you cash. When you do stuff that they don't want, they
get very, very offended. Selling gifts for money is very offensive,
didn't your mother teach you that? What's in the bag? You aren't
trying to walk out with valuable buffet food, are you?

I was tempted to brown-bag something from the Sahara buffet on my first and
last visit several weeks ago, but I assure you it was only for purposes of
forensic investigation.

Geesh - some things never change. We aren't picky eaters but even 20 years ago when we were "scroungers" - meaning we'd eat or stay almost anywhere if it were free - we tried to avoid the Sahara buffet at all costs.

---Geez, that's funny. I always hear jokes and complaints but I can always
find something I like on that buffet! Admittedly, not fancy, but just
down-home fried chicken and good Mid-West food stuff. Saw Rosanne Barr there
a month or so ago, (very funny) and did the buffet. Can't beat it for $6.99!
