    My Trip Report

    Leaving tomorrow 7AM on Southwest non stop so better start packing

    Arranged a last minute one night at Cosmo matching my CET free play. I know I have seen in many threads but never a Cosmo player and such short memory so I would love some guidance on VP and slots locations at Cosmo. I will be mostly at the $5 VP and similar slots level. Also, looking for some really nice rum there.

    Details later but family calls.

    TIA

    Well I will have Son of Sands Fan and his DW with me and I hope I can live up to expectations. Four nights at Paris with the Cosmo detour one night and a trip downtown to the D one night. Renting a car near Paris for two days, get downtown then next day is M Resort, Lotus of Siam, Rio and Orleans unless something else comes up.

    Intent was CET February doubler but now has drifted a bit. Can't resist because Cosmo is matching my CET $400 FP, free room no resort fees with hopefully comped meal. The D is always $100 Food credit and host throws in $100-200 for Andiamos. Always covers room charges based on play. Still need to hit the CET targets which means off hours this time. Not like last time when I was in the room by 8PM.

    So....bags are packed, twins in bed, all the home stuff done and time for bed. Now I can be a bit more descriptive.
    Plan originally was to stay at Paris 4 days with the intent of maximizing the February doubler offer. Then came the desire to head to the D for a night to play my most fav table game, have a wonderful dinner at Andiamos and spend the night. Next came the Cosmo host offer to match my CET offer. So here I am trying to max the CET doubler, max the Cosmo trip so I can get rooms for World Cup and head downtown.. Well if we are doing all that, might as well rent a car....for the first time in 4 years. Yes we are going for a drive about. Leave downtown, M resort, Lotus of Siam, Orleans and Rio. Then back to grind on CET TCs.

    Back to the Cosmo question?...where to play $5 VP and slots. Where to get really good rum.

    So tired, up in a few.

    How about...
    The "I might not sleep w/all the stuff I have planned" Trip Report? [emoji16][emoji16]

    Sounds like you will be busy! Hope you have a great time, and good luck [emoji256]

    BTW, you won't have any problem finding the $5 slots. Find the Identity Desk to get a player's card, and then you will find the High Limit Room and the higher denom slots on the same side of the casino; across the floor you will find a few more.

    $5 minimum denom slots are mostly going to be in the HL Slots room. Cosmo's layout is long and narrow - you'll pretty much find the denoms are laid out in a bell curve with higher ones in the middle of the casino in and around the HL Slots room and lower ones as you spread out from there in each direction. There are plenty of $1 reel slots that can be set to $2 or $5 if you want to do that.

    I don't play much VP, but I bet it's the same as slots - HL room will have a few at $5 minimum and then machines in the vicinity of the HL room will be $1 / $2 / $5.

    Oh Thanks ...I like that for a catchy title and will definitely find the HL Room. I got a card on my Dec trip and played at the chandelier bar, I think. Checked my email when I got home and had one for $210 in identity play which expired. Is that normal to get play on your card based on play or because I was new?

    Thanks Chuck, I will walk around some to get a feel for the place. Never really played there except a few hours last trip and that was just at one bar. Looking forward to a change.

    I have a new cell phone since my last trip report and realize I am photo challenged.

    I wanted to post a photo of my Whataburger drive thru but lost the foto. That was for son of sandsdan who lives outside the great state of Texas

    Got to get this figured out before my first hand pay [emoji108]

    We do have a lot planned, but I think we can make it all happen!

    Too bad about the Whataburger pic... though that might have only served to make me envious.

    Looking forward to this trip! I'm gonna piggy back off your report, but just post (non blurry) pics, and leave the commentary to you. [emoji41]
