get to Vegas late at night, and want to just play $20 before I go to bed
for the night. I play at good levels for a few days, then I leave in the
morning, but I always want to play another $20. But I have a feeling this
is dropping my average a lot, since they'll include that first and last day
as full days. I'd imagine it depends on what the casino considers a day? If
so, maybe this would be good info for the database?
A.P. gave excellent advice on what to do on short play days so I won't
attempt to respond there.
However, regarding what a casino considers a day, it's already in the vpFREE
database. Look up the casino & look for "Slot club day runs from". To keep a
high trip average, be very careful to play within those times.
A long while back, someone suggested putting this in the database. (Thank you
whoever you are!) Although I haven't used it until just now, I'm glad it's
there just in case I need to check on it. My MO is to ask the slot club & hope
they know.
Being mindful of trip-average can get you moved up to another level of
benefits & special events. Sometimes it can increase your cashback at higher levels
(e.g. Venetian & formerly NYNY).
BTW, Venetian had planned to have another level above Gold which would have
higher cashback. Believe it was platinum. Should have started by now. Anyone
know if it has & what cashback is?
