slot club boothling incidents resulting in TOO MUCH stuff

Hello everyone,

        Let's hear your strange/dumbest boothling story in Las Vegas. I'm
sure Jean Scott will have more than a few to relate.:>)

        Ours occurred about 2 years ago when a Vegas casino offered 10X
points on Sunday in their Pahrump casino. We'd drive out there and accumulate a
load of points and come back to Vegas and redeem them for $75 comps at Roy's
and/or McCormick & Schmicks. The trick was getting that comp for essentially
$300 of play (x10 Sunday points). You should have needed $3,000 of play. Even
at $3,000 I thought it was a very generous comp. The slot club boothlings
were easily razzle dazzled, dazed and confused thinking 3,000 points are 3,000
points. There was also a generous cigarette deal at the same time resulting in
10 cartons a trip coming home on America West and being resold the next day.
Off to Roy's with multiples of comps!

I can't calculate the EV.

Somehow, I've come to the realization that the exponential growth of
this group from a coupla hundred to 5000 has not been an entirely
positive happenstance.
