    Hi NFC,

    Thanks for the good word. I don't think we will do anything special with the $100 voucher other than to add it to the bankroll when we go for the bicycle/free play offer promo. We expect to have to put in very solid play under that promo to hit the hurdles we want.

    Sorry you cannot visit from Canada for now -- and wear your cowboy hat around. I loved following your own trip reports.

    Glad you had a great trip! And decent conversion of FP!

    Good info about Bally's. I need to decide where to stay for the bike offer. CP Augustus is great, but I want to look as profitable as possible to CZRs, and also I don't want to turn CP into my "home" casino in Vegas. My current home is either Rio or PH, which is great these days.

    But I will miss the seven stars valet anywhere else I stay.

    This is shocking. Resort tower is the new tower and Jubilee is older. I like Jubilee because the executive suite has jacuzzi vs resort tower having a soaking tub.

    Another note is that I thought Jubilee tower was closed and only the resort tower is open? @FABismonte On their website it only allows me to book resort tower. I cancelled my Resort Executive suite because I thought I wouldn't be able to get Jubilee Executive Suite.

    BT all I can say is that Wife and I stayed in the Jubilee tower and we weren’t the only ones. Maybe only some rooms in the resort tower were refurbished. We really liked our suite in the Jubilee tower.

    If the website won’t let you make a reservation, maybe call?

    Enjoyed the read. Sweet luck on all of the conversion play. Nothing beats a winning trip where you get on that plane with a big smile on your face.

    Fantastic report, with the informative details, promo wins, found money, good food and, I have to confess, the drama sucked for you and your wife but I was laughing to myself that your wife stood her ground in the elevator. On a serious note, I'm sure it was a very unpleasant experience but good for her.

    Looking forward to hearing how well you work the late August promo. I'm bummed I've missed all of these and am hoping CET has good ones in late September/early October.

    @Flowers thank you for your comments and your good wishes.

    In retrospect the most exciting part of the trip was not getting dealt quad deuces at $10 Bonus Poker. It was being Next to my wife as she went toe-to-toe with the woman who didn’t care about social distancing in an elevator. Not only was it an ugly shouting match, but I felt I had to keep a weather eye on the two guys accompanying her wearing wife beaters and shorts.

    It was the kind of excitement in Vegas that I could do without.

    I know you like to stay at luxurious hotels like Wynn, so I expect you will avoid such excitement during your birthday trip.

    Interesting. I'd rather stay in Jubilee than the Resort Tower, but I thought they hadn't opened it yet.

    If I go to Bally's website it doesn't show Jubilee rooms even if I'm not logged in.

    Just so I can learn, was your plan that you can get 10,000 base tier points with only a loss of $1,500? Am I understanding correctly that 10000 tier is $50,000 coin-in?

    Note that @FABismonte is a VP player and his strategy follows that of VP players. VP machines have a higher payback percentage, and their TC earning are adjusted accordingly. 10,000 TC is $100,000 coin-in on VP and can be as high as $250,000 coin-in.

    @Ronnie Diaz, the comment by @DaiLun is correct for video poker at CET casinos. JOB 9/5 machines give one base tier credit for every $10 played and that game has a 98.45% payback. Playing $100,000 at that payback will on the average cost you about $1,500 in losses.

    We are invited to the bike promo as well.. so hubby has guaranteed freeplay and then bonus freeplay. He can go claim the bonus freeplay and then once we earn the bonus can then go collect that. I'm sure his offer is crappy compared to yours but we are debating doing it.

    We were there less than 2 weeks ago and were told the same thing that jubilee wasn't open and wouldn't be for awhile. We stayed in a mini suite when we were there and it was crappy, sink broken etc.

    I don’t know if his offer would necessarily be crappier. It really is an attempt for CET to get a lot of players to put in action. My offer is here

    @Tarpie why do you want to avoid being assigned to CP as your home?

    Now that you mention it, I don't know. I think I got the idea from reading @DaiLun's trip reports, but I think he was avoiding be assigned to CP asian marketing and that does not apply to me.

    So I guess my only reason to pick a non-CP hotel is to lower the "cost" of my room. I have never asked for a backend comp, but I assume my CZR offers will be better if I look more profitable. But that's just an assumption and CZRs could ignore the comped room cost when calculating my play-up tiers/base FP.
