MARCH VEGAS PROMOTIONS

This report is a little late – Brad and I had been gallivanting for the last 10 days of February – out of town and then out of the country on a cruise until March 2. And when we are gone around the end of a month, the casino mail really piles up and it takes a day or two for me to process it all, both for our own gambling schedule and for these monthly reports.

I find I can start cutting down on some of the detail in these blogs about promotions since many casinos are doing a better job these days in listing them on their Websites. However, I will continue to discuss particular ones that need some explanation or ones for which I have additional info.

If you have not already done so, I suggest that you start a Favorites file that lists all the Websites of casinos you want to follow so that it is easy for you to check their promotions each month.

TUSCANY

See promotions at http://www.tuscanylv.com/packages-en.html. Notice the all-month senior discount of 20% moves to the Gift Shop in March.

PALMS

I will continue giving details of Palms promotions because I can’t find that they are listed on the casino’s Website, which just gives general players club information. (If anyone finds a way to get this promotion information elsewhere on the Internet, please e-mail me at [email protected] and I will share it here.)

“Play for Prizes” is running as usual on Monday through Friday.  The first period is March 2-13, featuring my favorite “prize” – CASH.  The second is March 16-27, when you can play for my second favorite “prize” – gas gift cards – Chevron.  Redemption times are the same as usual, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.-10 p.m., and Fridays 10 a.m.-midnight.

Gift days for March are the 14^th, 21st, and 29th.  To earn the gift-of-the-day, you need 100 base points on video slots or 500 base points on video poker, on that same day between 12:01 a.m. and 6:59 p.m.

Weekly drawings continue at 7 p.m. on Fridays.  (Earn 2x entries Fridays 4 p.m.-6:30 p.m. and 5x entries Fridays 8 p.m.-11:59 p.m.) There is an added “Bonus Play”: “Activate 10 or more drawing entries and receive $10 in Free Slot Play on Saturday.”

I haven’t had time to check out the new menu in the 24/7 Café or whether Senior Day Thursdays is still in effect.  I’m thinking perhaps not – or the benefits have changed – since my mailer is advertising “$8 Thursdays” for everyone:  Swipe your Club Palms card at the promotions kiosk and bring the voucher to the theater to redeem offer for an $8 package that includes one ticket, one drink, and one popcorn.

ELLIS ISLAND –

I am so upset about losing one of our favorite casino plays that I will have to settle myself down for a few days before I write its epitaph.  Besides I need time to console Brad, who is grieving his loss of free pizza on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
