TR Bally's October 6-12, VP losses and more

Great TR.

Like you based in the UK, hate that Vegas is so far away and that there's no direct flights from the Midlands. Either a host of connections or travelling to LGW or LHR!

Be interesting to hear if you get comps from your bellagio play. I never seem to get much love from MGM via their players club - my first offer of comp nights was last month and i hadn't even been for 18 months!

Was funny to see somebody else have trouble articulating what they mean. The slight difference in use of language and accent makes me feel like i'm speaking a completely different language sometimes!

Hope you got a good price on the flights. BA always seem to be so expensive, but most transatlantic flights are,

 

Great report, loved the flight details.
Do they send mailers to you in the UK or just email offers?

 

I do not think we get much of anything in UK! I have only ever received one mailer, from Orleans. The only e-mail offers I have got were from Wynn and the standard marketing offers from Venetian/Palazzo.

I get the occasional poor offer in my MGM Mirage account and have access to the Total Rewards system of course. Outside of HET, the room comps I get are usually through telephoning a host or dropping them an e-mail.

 

Great report Tubbs, enjoyed the detail, brutal session though at the B, but at least you weren't given any hassle for the comp.

 

Thanks for a great report with a lot of detail! As someone who has done a great del of international flying, I really enjoyed your perspectives.

No clotted cream? That was always my favorite part of the flight!

 

A wonderful detailed report; I thoroughly enjoyed it. You may not have gotten a reaction to your colostomy comment from the shuttle driver, but you got a giggle from me. VP was brutal to me on my last trip as well....they just seem to get tighter and tighter and the payscales worse and worse. I don't envy you the long trip home, but sounds like you had a wonderful time!

 

Very nice report!

 

thank you for the great read and using up some time at work today

 

Thanks for trip report. Sorry you did not hit more VP wins.
