5 Nights
7/3 4 queens- Got there a bout 3 pm check in was empty. Room was booked on Travelworm for $32+tax=38. Forgot to ask for the free funbook included in the room.
Room was south tower. Cold A/c. Had a plasma TV, decent size, clean. Got a free t-shirt for getting 40 players club points. Used ACG double points coupon for play 100 points get 100 free. Used ACG coupon for 3 T-shirts for $9.99 in the gift shop. The guy said we didn't even need the coupon. Played some 9/6 nickel VP near the Keno.
Ate at MSS Buffet. It was T-bone night for 13.99 I believe. Liked it but didn't need the T-bone. I think we will stick to lunch buffet at MSS.
Used ACG binions coupon for 5000 free points. No decent VP left at Binions. Hopefully the 4 queens owner will fix that situation.
checked out and went to Terrible's for lunch. Coffee shop was good. Kids loved the Prime Rib. I had the half tequila chicken, not bad but not great. The wife had breakfast which she liked.
7/4-7/5 Silverton
Quick check in. Had an offer for $19 a night. Checking in we found there was double players club points for July 4 plus a free concert poolside by Bucky Covington from American Idol.
Once again great beds. A/c was nice and cold. Found 9/6 nickel JOB VP machines. Played them a while plus went to the bar near the back to play 9/6 JOB quarter machines. Had some good frosty beers.
Bucky Covington concert was nice. Not too many people there so I walked right within 15 feet of the stage with my beer and enjoyed.
Cocktail service was fast and good. Much improved from our previous trip to Silverton when drink service was brutal.
Next day usd ACG 2 for 1 buffet at Silverton and players club points for the remainder. Good Buffet. A lot like The Orleans or Gold Coast but a little bit better.
Got in the car to take the kids to circus circus. Car seemed hotter than I can ever remember. Found out later it was 116 degrees in Vegas that day.
Used Entertainment book 2 for 1 coupon for the adventuredome for the kids.
Went to ellis island to have the steak dinner after. Wait was hour and a half to 2 hours. Bye. Went to terribles....tons of people waiting for the coffee shop. Bye. Went back to the Silverton and hd a Steak and shrimp special. Pretty good. Under $10.
Checked out on 7/6
Stopped at South Point for the buffet. Signed up for players club hoping for a fun book or something....nothing. Didn't play a penny there. This place is huge.
Buffet was just like the Gold coast but the quality wasn't as good.
7/6-7/7 Whiskey Pete's in Primm.
Free offer for 2 nights and the Crystal Gayle-Lee Greenwood concert.
Lee greenwood was OK. Crystal was only fair. Need to turn up the volume.
Primm has been stripped of any decent VP. There was one lonely 8/5 BP VP machine which I played enough to keep the offers coming. Seems like with Terrible's as the new owners, the room and concert offers are more easier but the VP is crap. My friend who bets less than me is getting the same offers. So I bet a lot less this time. I could afford to bet more but it pisses me off to play a less than full pay VP machine.
7/8 Drive home was un eventful. Still hate to stop for food or gas coming home and see all the people just starting their vacation.
Overall - Lots of fun. Saw 2 concerts free and played lots of nickel 9/6 JOB VP. Gambling- Broke even the 3 days in Vegas and lost a couple hundred in Primm. Food for 5 days was the big expense. Spent under $100 for five nights lodging.
Good Luck to all.
