Aria end zone slot tourney

[dvandentop]

This seems like a sort of fun set up for a slot tournament. Not sure if we'll be making this one or not sort of want to use up another good offer I have from our Aria that expires in October.

Its all free play. Why have the casinos stopped giving out actual cash as prize money.

Just noticed that would prob. Bypass it just for that fact.

Alot of them only award like 1-3 in cash

Real money may walk out the door...With freeplay they know they will get say 30% or more back...Guessing money saving and can offer bigger prizes knowing they will get some back..

[SoCalRob]

I would boycott any tournament where top three prizes or so are free play. That's pretty BS to me.

[sondor]

Sure would be fun to cycle 75K in freeplay thru though.....

It would also be nice to keep 75k in cash. Although I guess doing free play there's no taxes...

[treyster]

Damn you get the good offers. I just get the 100K tourneys, all in free play too lol

[sondor]

I agree the cash would be better...Just think it would be fun to have that kind of money that "I had" to cycle thru...Not sure if they would tax you on that much freeplay, that's a good question.

dvandentop,my hostess told me I couldn't be in the upcoming slot tournament and get my other offers, so we took the other offers, but I'm still going to ask them at the MLife desk if I can play when I check in. Never hurts to ask.

they wont let ya it is either one or the other some really dumb rule they have. i couldnt even get my resort credit when doing slot tourney sorta dumbass rule.
you can try but i have tried to climb that hill before and answer was no from a few different people

[Evoni]

I'm passing on that tournament too and will arrive at Aria on the 27th to take advantage of my suite offer. Just found out that my host Danielle C that I didn't care for has left Aria (big cheer) so I emailed the host I've been wanting and he was glad to sign me up.

My local last weekend had a tourny (no I wasn't in it) but they gave out money (according to the 5th place winner) for the top 6 winners. She said she won $2500 cash. I then watched her hit a Flaming 7's $5 machine 3 credits for $1500.

who was the host at aria you are working with now?

[Evoni]

I went with Gwen's host since she likes him, his name is Alex. What's the name of yours?

I found out on my birthday trip that my V&P host had left the week before I got there. However I went with Gwen's host there too who has the title of Director of International Marketing of all things. I didn't want them to assign me some random host, I always figure it's best to go with someone that a friend likes. Strangely enough Ana and I have the same birthday.

It is Muoi she is in the slot host office in back of HL room

Is that same place as Alex office or is he more by the casino cage?

Ill be getting there on the 28th..rev up your engines LOL.. I haven't yet needed to get a host but it may be helpful?

[Big Mac]

I just booked trip for September arrive the 25-30th ..Let the planning begin..

[dvandentop]

Damn fall m&g

[SoCalRob]

Damn fall m&g
You and Amy need to come to Vegas for G2E. You're missing out!!!

[dvandentop]

If it was up to me I would but Amy being lame about me going to Vegas by myself she doesn't want to miss out lol.

Need to get there in October for sure though due to have a great offer from aria

Alex is also in the slot host office in the HL Room. Online Muoi and him have the same title, but he doesn't sign his emails with that title, instead he uses: Senior Executive Host.

It's hard to say if it would be helpful or not as you can just go to the host office at the end of your trip and ask any of them to review your play for additional comps. At that time one of them will usually let you know if they want to be your host. Normally I wouldn't have cared that much about what host I get or when they assigned a new one to me, except for the ARIA NYE party. For that party it's been a pain when several of us have different hosts and we have to write to all of them separately to be assigned to one table together. It's going to be easier now for at least Gwen and me to have the same host, though other friends still have a different one.

Your posts on the NYE party make me so jealous that I was there with you. It looks like a blast and a half!!!

We will be at Aria October 16th - 20th- using our Aria Suite Offer - decent free play and resort credit and 2 free tickets to most shows. Only trip we have concrete plans for in the future. It is also the same weekend of VIMFP (Fivehundy and other podcasters gathering downtown Vegas). FIL is in ill health.. and it is keeping us close to home. Hoping to get to KC for Labor Day still.. but all of that is up in air.. so in the meantime I live vicariously through all of you Jokers.

[SoCalRob]

What in the SAM HELL do I have to play at Aria to get awesome offers like tournaments, free rooms, etc. I've gambled there enough.

Rob, we are low-rollers, but we get the invites to the tournaments. They just never have them during our scheduled weeks.

I'm wondering if I just need to spend more time at Aria. Maybe? But I feel like I spend enough time there.

Could be it. When we play there we spend the bulk of our day there. Helps that we love the casino.

Rob.. we have little or no status at any other casino in Vegas except Cosmo. Pretty much tied to MLIFE. We lucked out with an invite offer 4 years ago to Aria.. and it has been our home base ever since. You have great status at the Ceasar's properties and Venetian/Palazzo. Have you checked Mlife on line to see if you have a fall Corporate offer? I have only come home with money on one trip in 4 years (9-10 trips).. so they know my pattern :(.

I constantly check my offers on there. They're only discounted rooms and not even much of a discount in my opinion. Plus they don't offer free play at all. I mean I can't complain because my focus really has been Venetian/Palazzo. I am certain however when I'm there in Sept I will hit Gold at MLife. So maybe that will help. I did get some offers from NYNY but I would not stay there at all. Just not my type of place.

[MNvegasgal]

My free play never shows up in my online offer.. but does in the mailed offer that matches up to the online offer. My summer offer was in a standard room with less free play and less resort credit. My fall offer is much better. We normally only do 2 trips (once in a blue moon - 3) to Vegas a year. Last year MLife cycle we did Oct Vegas, Dec Biloxi, March Vegas, May Biloxi, and I did June Vegas. That is an abnormal year.. so I'm thinking that has something to do with our increased offer. No more MLIFE for us until the next Tiering cycle starts as we are at Platinum, and will NEVER be NOIR - invite only and WAY to rich for our blood.. unless I hit one of those awesome progressives some day :).

Rob, one thing to remember about MLife is that you cannot go by their website. The offers that show up there are normally crap. We call Aria and Bellagio and get much better offers than what shows online.

Gamble with a history of longer periods of play. I am sure if you booked a deluxe room they would take room charges off at end of stay.

I'll have to take that into consideration my next time out there that I don't have reservations for.

Oh. I did not know that at all. I also don't receive stuff through the mail which is disappointing.

Call Aria and see if they have your correct mailing and if they have any offers for you.. Can't hurt to try.

Just got this pretty cool slot tourney for bellagio

Who will reign upon the Throne?
Five kingdoms. Five houses. Take up your sigil and play to win the $75,000 Grand Prize. For when it comes to the Thrones of Riches, only those with stamina, savvy and luck will make it to the end.

Play four times, and we'll drop your lowest score.

I'm going to be at MGM but let's definitely meet up! I'm also going to at least one SNC show so I'm sure we'll have plenty of opportunities to meet up :)

I would absolutely do something like that! I want that invite.

The awesome thing is that the whole ballroom will be decorated In knight and armor type stuff from that era. Bellagio and aria do a grand Jon decorating for their slot tourneys. Usually bellagio ones are themed and really fun.
