I dream about a 10/6 JOB promo. It's harder than I think and involves too much recalibrating. But having those tables from perhaps 1-6 AM would be pretty cool. Olds could play them and report his results!

is anyone going to bother to link Bob's article in this thread, or even post his reply to Deniis Krum?Also, given the very beginning of this thread and the focus that was on how casinos have change (deteriorated) over the years and why, it seems things now have become much more NARROW in focus......I think we all can agree that the casino industry everywhere has taken turns for the worse as far as player satisfaction and quality of experience, and value is concerned.   This is not opinion, it is a fact......we do not GET nearly as much as we used to during the heyday of the 1990s and early 2000s.

truer words were never spoken, DaB.  we all know it: some just may not admit it...

DaBurglar can you please explain what you mean by asking if anyone is going to bother to link Bob's article in this thread?

You apparently linked to it, based on your post immediately following Bob's.

I have not experienced a downward spiral in terms of service and value that some casino patrons have noticed in the last decade so you cannot say ALL casino patrons unless you asked ALL casino patrons. So logically it cannot then: be an undeniable fact.

I'm with Ted, from the moment I arrive at Harrahs AC for my weekly visit I'm treated great. Some workers address me by first name and others by my last, always a smile and how are you doing etc. I get my choice of rooms, free food, free give a ways, free play, free top shelve liquor at machines and sometimes I win. Sorry but I'm a happy camper, the only thing that could be better is if I won every visit, but we all know that's impossible.

So you are saying that everything you experience in whatever casinos you frequent is just as good, if not better as it was say, prior to 2007????Well I guess this is just like your winning 80% of the time......you are simply just the luckiest guy on this forum at least.   So fine, I stand corrected....EVERYONE except Jeter and professional Bandwagon jumper Tedlark has experienced a decline in overall casino experience and satisfaction since "the good ol' days..."I'm pretty safe in my conclusion that the MAJORITY of people agree with me and not you.....

Well if you are seven stars I would hope so.......what you describe is what is SUPPOSED to happen if you are seven stars, and yet I know personally (and I would hazard that on this site there are still more) seven stars who totally contradict your claims.   but if you are Diamond then I think you need to qualify your remarks.....how often do you visit?   When?  Do you book via a host?   Let's put it this way, I am only a platinum at CET right now, but I still get free rooms (except saturday), I get 40 bucks free play a week, one free buffet a week, and free tourneys in slots and stuff.    Who cares about top shelf liquor when booze is free anyway......And you honestly say NOTHING has changed for the worse at HArrahs AC since 2007 or before????     Hmmmmm.....

I don't have to but I will because you are really starting to get quite ponderous. If you had any reading comprehension you will see in my first line that a visit weekly.  I call the Diamond VIP hotline to make my room reservation. Diamond lounge or buffets are free. I prefer to drink Belvedere Vodka as compared to the swill you platinum players get. I on occasion will use some of my many RC and have a steak at The Steakhouse. The reason I have so many RCs is because I maximize my play on multiplier days. As of last count 8 royals this year and 6 aces w/k. Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and better luck next year where ever you play.
