Venetian CB, was Re: New vpFREE Logo

#1

Below Gold is bottom of the barrel membership, at .20% CB. Gold is .30%, not
hard to attain if you play dollars or higher. Platinum is indeed .40% CB,
only a very few qualify. The database says 25,000 points, or $1,250,000/year
coin-in required for Platinum--out of the reach of most dollar players, unless
you are local and can play there 300 or so hours/year.

I have heard of some big players who only play vp, and are winners at the V,
who have been refused Platinum status. Apparently it is awarded by
invitation only, not given automatically when you reach the point requirement.

If anyone has further info, please share!

btw, re: Venetian -- The database lists cb at $15(Gold)/$20(Plat) per
100 points. At $50/pt, that equates to .3%/.4%

My recollection is dated to a couple of years back, but I recall it
being .2/.3. Has cashback since improved to rates that are
exceptional for a premium strip joint?

Thanks, Brian. Looks like I skimmed over the database entry a little
too quickly.
