    Ah good to know about the flush and yea hopefully I have Timspeed luck on my wedding trip :evillaugh

    Oh another note, I booked this trip through a GN host and was given 2 nights free and 2 nights paid that I could comp off. He looked at my history of $2 VP session and some craps sessions and said my play was strong. I didn't know the host booked me in a gold parlor suite so that was a good surprise and a big reason why I kept most of my play at the GN even though there were better VP/table options elsewhere. I won't go into my losses but they were significant and more than I've had at the D in the past and I'm usually comped for 4 nights there with $50 food and $50 freeplay. My surprise came when I went into the hosts office on Sunday night to see what I could get comped off and he (not the host I booked with) said he would comp off the two nights and I would have to pay for the other two at casino rate which was about $500 total. I felt like I over played and still my play and losses weren't enough to make a dent into getting the room comped off which is weird.

    My play from my calculations:

    -12-16 hours Craps, $10 pass line, $40 odds and $30 on 6/8 with occasional field bets/alls/hard ways and I always put the dealers on the hards and alls with me as well as throwing them a $20 here and there. There were times I had well over $200 on the board during my hot rolls and parlayed bets.
    -15-20 hours VP, 25c to $2, played a couple of times at $5 but not long enough for it to matter.
    -3-4 hours UTH, $10-$50 ante, always on the sucker bet lol. It was my first time and it was good to me.
    -1-2 hour slots, dumped about a 6 hundo into them
    -Fiance also played on my card. She played ~10-14 hours of live poker and 6-8hours of 25c vp.

    The $5xx pending charge dropped off my credit card pending transactions so I'm hoping my host took care of it but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't. One thing I didn't do was check with the pitboss every session. I did it the first night and after that I didn't bother.

    Based on my play can anyone tell me if I got hosed as far as comps go? Also can anyone that gets comped at GN tell me what kind of play they have? Next trip I doubt I'll be playing for comps as it felt like I was tied down to one place and couldn't switch casinos that were luckier for me or had better games.

    I have never really played too much at the GN, so I have never been comped there, but your play in my opinion should get you comped at just about any downtown property. To me the other 2 nights should definitely been dropped off since the host put you in the suite, as opposed to your requesting it. If it does come back I would get in touch with your regular host to see if he can get it sorted out for you.

    Yea I didn't get any comped nights from their mailers, just the usual $10-20 off their best room rate.
