My HET experience with Total Rewards II First thing is the program has been tweaked several times since the 2003 incarnation. I did Diamond in a Day, played VP in Laughlin in Jan/2005 when it only was 1800 Base/Tier credits. Back then every casino decided if they offered DinaD and at what...

5-Card's site/Non-Nevada Juristictions 5-Card's site has been around for a long time. He has about every VP paytable currently on any casino floor listed with the ER in one section. This helps confirm manipulating the standard issue paytables in various software...

Aq It is true that the AQ main casino got a complete makeover. Really is spacious and comfortable now on the floor. But the rooms still are blasts from the past. The $19.7 million renovation starts this month (Jan) for the rooms. Also Carl sold out, so there will be new ownership once...

Saddle West Saddle West is the name of the casino Marnell-Sher bought a couple years ago. Marnell-Sher also just got the keys to the Colorado Belle and Edgewater in Laughlin from MGM/Mirage.

Did anyone participate in this one on Friday the 13th? They are supposed to it again on Halloween. I am curious about this one since it is a unique one day event. My reference is the http://www.laughlinentertainer.com weekly magazine that does not list the details in full. The CB sucks...

Dry Humping So are you intending on Dry Camping? As in living out of the rig for two weeks parked in some casino lot? Or are you booked into a room? Last year's snowbird season in Clark County had a major glitch in it when the Health department decided that there would be no more dry...

Happy Hour at 4am There was some signage in the Pioneer, Laughlin about an August BJ promo...4-8am, 10am-2pm Mon-Friday $50 max bet. Frankly, I don't even know what they deal anymore.

New Owners Harrahs sold the Flamingo to Carl Ichann and uses the ACE card now just like Arizona Charlies and the Strat. They got big plans putting in a VIP room by the river where the poker room was located. They are ripping out the Rainbow bar just west of the pit. They got 1800 rooms to...

How much will these enhanced payoffs add to the ER? Suited Blackjacks pay 2 to 1. Three sevens pays 3 to 2. A 6-7-8 pays 3 to 2. I will assume a winning hand is needed to collect. Suited BJ every 85 hands equates to an extra half unit payed, about .59%? But what about changing...

Payoff options Casinos that have $5 tables will have rolls of .50 coins in the rack or even $2.50 chips to make that $7.50 payoff.

Vp Ken has pointed you to a couple of fine sites...the Wizards and 5-Cards. Next site to join is the Yahoo! group vpFREE. On this homepage are links to these sites and other math sound ones, plus FAQs, glossary, regional discussions and a database of playable VP. Now how about some...

Primm and Jean MGM-Mirage owns all five casinos now. Each town has their own slot club. For the uninformed Primm is a few yards inside Nevada on I-15, about forty miles from downtown Vegas. Jean is 10 miles closer. The Primm Resort is fairly nice with the outlet shops on one end. Check...

Twentythree is old enough So you are talking mid-March? Easter is real late this year. That is when the snowbirds vacate. Currently, the worst BJ in Laughlin is offered at the Mandalay Resort Group (now MGM-Mirage) properties of Colorado Belle and the Edgewater. The 6:5 BJ nonsense has...
