Gregg: Thanks for the nice comments.

I'll try to make the next trip report longer [img]http://www.talkvegas.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img]

Lee,
"Happy mail" Only you would think of that. LOL I love it.

Great report, Veronica......this trip reads like a non-stop party! Your travel woes make me happy I only had an 8-hr drive home<g>.

Thanks for the advice on cashing out my Caesars points; I managed to accumulate about 250 points on this trip, so I'm hoping that will generate some more decent offers. [img]http://www.talkvegas.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] I had an interesting conversation with the bellman on my way out; he seemed to be a little concerned about the Hilton takeover, and he dropped an interesting little tidbit....that Park Place might be trying to see the LV Hilton....I guess time will let us know if that rumor is true.

Hi Veronica,
I thought that I was the only one that didn't look at expiration dates on coupons. When I got to the counter at Alamo on 10-1, with a coupon good for a free day, I then noticed that it had expired on 9-30. So I was about 20 hours too late. I even tried to use the excuse that I had made the reservation online and put in the coupon code, with the dates that I was going to be there, and it didn't give me any error that it wouldn't be good. BUT, it didn't do me a bit of good. Of course, I was dealing with the guy who gave me a car with an expired registation!!
Since you've seen the Jacuzzi rooms at Caearars, how do you get the stereo speakers in the ceiling to work? When I stayed in one back in Sept. that was the only gadget that I couldn't figure out. The motorized curtains were fun, but I got bored pretty easily.
Anyway, it was great to see your smiling faces at the meet. Hope to see y'all soon, on another trip.

Lee Ann, those pinball slots were near the entrance and seemed to be paying off pretty well. I don't play slots, but after V's experience with them I might be convinced to give them a try.

Daisy, I hope that the Hilton does not mess with Caesars and their comp policies. I just got settled in at Caesars after moving from the Rio and I don't want to move again.

V, Great trip report and not a word too long!If I had to type your trip report out it would take me the four or five months between trips just to get the T/R posted [img]http://www.talkvegas.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img], As it is, it takes weeks now just to write it. Hopefully later today I will get my daughter to type it, and wha-la the guilt will be gone!

John,
Since we (I should say Michael <vbg> ) finally got an offer from Caesars, I'll have to try those pinball machines the next time. I never do well on slot machines, but these sound like fun.

Lee Ann, I'm not quite sure how you play the pinball slots. Veronica said it took her a minute to figure out what to do. Therefore it would take me an hour to figure them out<G>
In April we went to Mandalay Bay and Linda put 3 quarters in some kind of pig slot machine (not the piggy bank ones) and whatever she did the screen started to have all these dancing pigs on it and they kept exploding. We didn't know what to do so we just stood there. Eventually all the pigs blew up and Linda won $60. We never did figure that one out. She just took her $60 and went to the Forum Shops<G>

John: The pinball is mindless to play <G>.

Just look for the button that says
"Pinball". You have to line up 1 pinball reel before you get 5 chances to push the pinball button; that is, if you play max coins. Otherwise, 1 or 2 coins played only gives you 1 chance at pinball.

V,
One coin gives you one chance. Two coins gives you two chances. Three coins gives you 5 chances. Big advantage to win lots more with max coins in. I was debating to play these machines or the Top Dollar ones next to them. I played Top Dollar. More on them when I have a chance to do my much delayed trip report.

Michael: OK, I'll take your word for it! But I thought the schedule said playing 1 or 2 coins only gave you the 1 chance. I'm probably wrong but will be happy to check it out next time <g>.
