Two Weeks in Paradise - 9/5 - 9/18

@bubbakitty has a 1-800 number for you.

 

I do. It is usually more available when a particular member is in the air to and fro….otherwise, then not so much.
It was ok but then considered a resource….”Hi. I’ve got a flush. It is ALSO 3 to a Royal. It’s a problem. Can you help?”
So it’s busy quite a bit with that nonsense

 

I never ask someone to move from a seat that they're playing at. I would have loved if you got a royal while sitting next to the witch.

 

Took a quick nap after lunch. Then did a little slotting around for a $240 profit. Now back at Vue bar for more VP and football.

 

Down $325 on $7,700 coin in. 4 to a royals have been teasing me. Just put my name in for bar seat at Andiamo. Should be about an hour wait - so time to get closer to my $10,000 coin in goal.

 

Now down $350 on ~$9,400 coin in. Dinner time at Andiamo.

 

Dinner. Haven’t eaten here since Barry’s opened. It’s still very good, although I think Barry’s is better.

Pinot Grigio


Bread

Lobster Bisque

Sausage Pasta

 

Amazing review and display of é... Amazing to be honest.. Loving this report...as usual.thanks so much..

 

Finished my $10,000 coin in on VP down $350.



Won a little more slotting around



And then turned my $200 FP into $175.


Tomorrow’s plans - work (boo), move to Cal, Raiders game (woo hoo).

 

Roughly how many hours did this take?

 

Next time reply smoke all you want it covers the scent of my flatulence, I really should not have had that leftover bean burrito for breakfast.

 

It’s a solid 10-11 hours for me. Sometimes more if I get one of the slower machines (not all machines at Vue let you set the speed). It’s a long grind, but I feel like it’s my sweet spot when it comes to keeping my comps coming.

 

I would kill for Vue or some D/GG bar to have 3 line, 8/5 BP for quarters.

 

Was this to use the $5 freeplay for every 50 points earned thing? I bought the ACG and LVA for the first time. Heading to Vegas tomorrow and was wondering how that particular coupon worked.

 

Yes. You turn in coupon BEFORE you begin play. That starts the 24 hour clock. Then when you are done with your play or time expires go back and they’ll add the FP. I had $100 FP from my normal monthly offer and then $100 from the LVA coupon.

 

Thanks for the info! Yeah, I was wondering how you had $200. I assume they don't let you double dip that coupon with using both the one in LVA and ACG?

 

At least as far as I know, they won’t let you double dip those coupons.

 

Checked into Cal. There was a long line of folks and only one worker but she was quick and friendly. And I was able to get into a room which makes me happy - I was worried about how to try to secure my laptop for the night otherwise. I’m in the tower over by check in - never been up here before. Room is fine, but I feel like the rooms in the other tower are newer/nicer - but it’s possible I’m just misremembering.

 

I prefer the other tower (West Tower), mainly because it's closer to BHB.

 

Following along. Great TR so far. Looking forward to future days.

While you are at The Cal, can you do me a favor....

- There is a particular, unique (1 of a kind) video poker machine there that is my favorite
- Can you check to make sure it's still there, and still has the paytable I am looking for?
- Location: It's in one of the alcoves closest to the hotel front desk, kind of near an ATM machine. It's next to the rail overlooking what-used-to-be-the-craps-pit (but the craps table games moved).
- It is machine #1748 and says "Bonus Poker Deluxe"
- Picture is below
- It's a multigame machine
- At the $1 denomination (and ONLY at the $1 denomination), you can play BONUS POKER PLUS (not Deluxe) for a unique paytable
- The paytable is 4000/250/500/45/35/20/10/5/5, a weird variant of "9/7"
- This means 500 coins for a quad, when playing max coins
- Basically, this means you need quads, or your bankroll will die... they are severely shorting the 3-of-a-kind and 2 pair, for a quad bonus

I've had good luck on this machine. I'm curious to know if it's still there.

vpfree2.com doesn't list it at all, and I have no idea what the true payback % is, but if you want to play it, good luck to you.... get those quads!
