    I should start with the title. I had originally not planned to go to Vegas again this year but got a note from my host at PH and he mentioned that I had a 7* trip to take by end of Jan 2018. This is my first time making 7* and I assume the retreat would only be for next year. After asking the board, I found that he was right. I have one this year and one next. I also have a number of other comps that I need to use by end of Jan and since a Jan trip looks to be out, I am going to blow through them this weekend. With that said, let’s start with the upfront comps. I am sure some of these are small for some people but I am pretty happy with them.

    7* retreat – I couldn’t get the airfare lined up quick enough and since I had to be in KC today, booking with that was a challenge. I worked out a deal for half the airfare credit in freeplay. $600. Not sure if that was good but I will take it. I also get the $500 folio credit.

    7* celebration dinner - $500 in dining vouchers that I will be getting
    DAL dinner - $100

    Normal freeplay offer - $750

    Now the main reason I am going December is I worked out some “airfare” reimbursement from my trip in October where I barely used any comps. They are going to give me $1000. Felt pretty good with that as it was about 10% of theo and it was a winning trip. Had to be used this quarter.


    Upfront Comps (to recap):
    Freeplay: $2350 (assuming airfare is in cash but counting it has freeplay)
    Dining/folio Credit: $1100 (did I mention I was solo J )

    Hotel:
    Cromwell – I have been waiting to try it out and I was able to get into the Boulevard suite. I will post better pictures but here is a link:

    Dining:
    I don’t have anything planned but suspect I will find myself at GR Steak at least once. Beyond that, I am open to suggestions.


    Leaving KC in the morning and heading to Vegas. Should touch down around 11am local and leave on Sunday afternoon.

    As I mentioned above, I am in KC today and already hit Harrahs a little this morning and it wasn’t good. Thinking about going back as I know it has to hit. Lol

    I am still on a DSTP kick so expect to be posting mostly VP pictures with some food. I am going to start with quarters but as with the last trip that lasted about 30 minutes before I went back to dollars.

    It appear a number of people are in town and if anyone would like to grab a meal or drink, let me know I am very very open.

    ….and we are off to the races.

    Sounds like a nice little trip planned Riders. Nice to have a lot of freeplay and food comps upfront.

    Good Luck! Hopefully you can add a couple zero's after that freeplay amount. :thumbsup:

    So ... I don't know why I go to these local places ... except my Philly drop in a couple weeks ago ... winstar kicked my butt last week and Harrahs Kansas City just did it again ... hoping I am getting all the bad luck out here and on quarters..

    Dropped 3k here and not a big win in the mix.... played DSTP TDB 10 play and never hit a kicker hand ... barely had any 4oaks.

    Best hit of the day

    You can say that again. Don't think I can expect another run like October but I can hope. Just need to break the 6 figure handpay.. :)
