1) Is the amount of free slot play they send in the
monthly calendar of
offers based on coin-in or points earned? I�m
wondering if $1 into a 100%
plus VP machine gets you just as much in FSP offers
as $1 into a short pay VP machine.
Mailers are based on base points earned not coin-in.
2) For buffet offers in the monthly mailers, I
always get offers
valid just about anywhere BUT Green Valley Ranch.
However, GVR has my favourite buffet
(because of the crab legs). I always assumed that
no one got 2 for 1 buffet
offers for GVR, but last time I was there, I saw
someone redeem one. I got
my Boarding Pass at GVR, but play mostly at Red
Rock. What do I need
to do to get the GVR buffet offers? It�s on the
other side of town for me, so I
don�t really want to go there for my regular play,
but I certainly don�t
mind driving down there for crab legs!
I believe your home casino is the one where you have
played the majority of your base points in the last
90-day mailer qualifying period. So the majority of
your points need to have been played at GVR to get the
mailer with the GVR buffet coupons.
3) I usually play up at Red Rock. Does anyone know
the coin-in/points
earned requirements to get room and/or spa comps or
SIGNIFICANT
discounts up
there? If I�m not going to ever get anything along
those lines based on my
level play, then I might be more tempted to spread
my play amongst a few
different Station Casinos�especially to avoid the
weekend crowds up at Red
Rock�since I won�t loose anything by doing so.
Don't know how much play is required for spa/room
comps or discounts for locals. Try the slot club or a
host.
4) Can I earn Boarding Pass points at Fiestas? Or
do I need to also sign up
for an Amigo card if I go to a Fiesta?
No, you cannot earn Stations Boarding Pass points at
Fiestas, but you can use them at Fiestas. Supposedly
there is a merger of the Stations and Fiesta players
cards in the works.
5) Does anyone know if you need to swipe your card
at Points Plus kiosks for
point multiplier offers BEFORE you play, or can you
do it anytime after you
play and before you leave and still get the
multiplier on points earned
before you swiped?
You can swipe anytime that day to get the point
multiplier. I believe it is applied overnight.
6) What�s the general opinion on Station Casinos
amongst members
here? I like that you can earn slot club points all
over Las Vegas, and their
program is pretty easy to understand. I find that
the atmosphere at Red
Rock is pretty good, too. But, am I missing out by
limiting myself to Stations?
I believe Station Casinos are very competitive in the
Las Vegas locals market. Other casinos have a lot to
offer also. Depends on what you are looking for -
particular video poker games, good bounceback cash,
ambiance, location, variety, food choices. Suncoast
and Rampart, which are both near Red Rock Casino, are
both popular with locals.
