Well of course the VP play includes the benefits that directly affect the
cash account.
In 2005, I had an average year. Here are the percentages:
VP gambling: 99.2%
Bounceback .3%
Cashback .3%
Promos .9%
Bottom Line 100.6%
Other gambling negative .5%
Cost of rooms $0.00
Second biggest expense- Gasoline
Biggest expense--Tips
Another fun year visiting southern Nevada.
