See, the thing is, the local casinos are very happy when a customer comes in and might drop a couple hundred through their machines during two or three hours of play.
They are Thrilled if somebody comes in and plays 10-12 hours and ends up generating a thousand or more TR credits!
In AC, I am a minnow among all the whales, in the Midwest I am a bass among all the minnows.
I'm going to concentrate my play at Flamingo over Thanksgiving. Even in Vegas they seem to be throw you better offers at the property in which you play most. When I played at Paris I was getting better room offers from them than any other CET property out there. I paid Priceline at Venetian, so nothing to impress Venetian for. Gonna race for Platinum at the old pink bird!
I also guess it would make most sense to have one big day of play and go for the 1k points and have them match it. I need to do a Thanksgiving bender!

In 2013 and 2014 we didn't have over 3500 TC that were earned through play at all CET casinos combined. Still had free rooms at the Pink Bird, Rio, and Harrahs for week days and maybe up to $85 for weekend night. So maybe you want to wait for AC for any 1000TC day as you are close there and would get Caesar rooms comped. Just wondering if you'd get more band for your buck closer to home.
Probably, as I think that ADT is attached to the property. It's something to consider. I'm basically halfway to Platinum, which really only gets you free parking in AC. Do I chase for Platinum or just get in a nice ADT day at Flamingo in hopes they will throw me a bone for GG's wedding trip in March? In AC I always have Borgata for mid-week nights, which I rarely can use anyway. I think I'll play it by ear and if I get murdered, no sense in continuing the murder just for free parking!
@Penguin, I rarely play at CET places so I'm not sure of the lingo. You've mentioned Return Rewards FP and also immediate FP (I think they're the same thing) -- what does that mean? I think at CET, you can transfer RCs to be used as FP at a 50% discount (so 10,000 RCs would be $50 FP) -- am I correct? If so, is Return Rewards/immediate FP different from that conversion? Thanks!
Immediate Return Rewards is/was 100% Free Play but had to be used within 30 days. Not sure if other CET properties doing this but obviously idea is to keep us coming back ASAP. This is a relatively new program. Not sure if still being done. Cleveland also has weekly and daily free play on top of this. For instance we just got our October free play and it is $120 on Fridays and $65 on Monday through Thursday each week. We will go up on Thursday, grab a room at Ritz and then collect both Thursday and Friday for $185 total. Normally we walk away with 80% in cash. Yes you can use regular Reward Credits for free play at 50% discount. But we prefer to use them for meals in AC, Vegas, Laughlin at full value.
So, this October offer is based on the heavy (for us) play in that 4 week period (only 3 days so the ADT is high) in June-July. Since then only 1 day at $260 coin in. We'll see how long this goes. No doubt we'll do the bonus credit system at Cleveland next year because of the high FP they dole out.
I've decided I'm going to "blow my load" (for a better lack of term..HHH) at the Linq, as I'm staying there one night of my Thanksgiving trip. I'll just have two days of a nice even ADT, without having to chase that 1,000 tier credits for free parking (which you can print a voucher out anyway..so..yeah!) Diamond in 2016, here I come...:dance:
I glad I'm staying there before you then.....
I'll clean up, don't worry! :wave:
Just my opinion, but we have gotten the best pays and accumulated the most tiers at PHo during our last two trips. Just saying!
