Alainte Station continues to experience so many issues, from computer systems (and kiosks) that never work to clueless hosts who act as though they could absolutely care less.
This weekend it got even worse: They've turned the A/C thermostats up so high you can now grow ferns in the casino. Our friends and I "sweated" through hours of play Friday evening, while we waited for the supposed "free play for everyone" that would result from a magical "11th spin." Of course the free play never registered on our cards...just one more issue at this very depressing casino.
It's sad, because the place is beautiful. You can just smell failure everywhere, however.

We just returned home from Aliante Station, our "home casino" in the Station's family. Neither my wife Chris nor I received a mailer in July.
I wasn't surprised to be dropped, I was getting $5 FP and the multipliers; but we were surprised about Chris. She's Platinum, with over 90k points in the last 3 months. Although she plays mostly quarter FPDW she occasionally does some short-pay on the multiplier days. She had been getting the $15 FP, a food comp, and multipliers 3x and 6x.
We asked the supervisor on duty at the slot club why Chris was dropped and the supervisor didn't know. She could only verify that Chris received no mailer this month. She said she would call player development and ask a host to visit Chris. 3 hours of play later -- no host.
I don't think "level of play" has much to do with this. We talked with three people who I know who are much bigger players than us. None of them received mailers this month. My initial theory is; "If you play only the 100% games you're not getting a mailer no matter how big you play." This may be wrong, but I bet it's close.
Who knows more about this? Share with us. Thanks an advance!
