Wow, change brings about a lot of questions and discussions, some of it very heated!
I can’t answer all your questions but I will try to explain a little more to follow up the discussion on this subject in my last entry. Some details about the Stations new players club you can find if you go to their Web site. More details might appear if you log into to your personal account there. And there are brochures at the various slot club booths, but they might not tell you all you want to know. However, be careful if you ask questions at the booth.

This is what I wrote in “Frugal Fridays,” the predecessor of this blog, after the attacks of 9/11/2001.
Last week I promised you that I would write about red-white-and-blue Las Vegas, a city with patriotic feelings as strong as anywhere else in the U.S.A. As I’ve been traveling all over our spread-out city since September 11, I have proudly seen the proof of that everywhere, Read more… »

In your column “A Gambling Constant – Change” you mention the obvious perils of piling up slot card points. What do you feel is a fairly standard rule-of-thumb for a minimum number of points to keep active in a casino?
Unfortunately, there are almost no rule-of-thumb guidelines when you are talking about casinos. Read more… »
