The recent changes include: new and larger buffet, upscale steak
restaurant (open Wed - Sun), new lounge, new hotel, etc. There are
two card classes - Platinum members and VIPs. The VIPs get to enjoy
the casino rate of $50 for the rooms ($100 for the suites) and these
rooms can be paid with comp dollars. VIPs also get private mailers
and special invites. To be a VIP, you need to generate generate $100K
in action in a 6 month period.
Each comp dollar require $650 in action or about 0.15%. However, gone
forever are the wonderful trippple points on Wednesday. Also, I
noticed their mailers have been drastically reduced during the past
year.
It's another sad case of a nice neighborhood casino that went upscale
and the good opportunities disappear forever.
