Changes to the Grazie Gold Lounge and Platinum Room

[dvandentop]

Nooo that sucks

That's too bad. No reason to even keep it open now because you can get coffee, tea, juice on the casino floor from the CWs.

The employee that told me about these changes in March hinted to me that it would eventually morph into a VIP lounge again with food but I guess not for gold level. Of course they can't do that for a while so who knows they might change their minds again.

I like the lounges to get a little better drink than on the floor, a snack a quiet place to sit for a bit enjoying the drink and then go back and play. Cet has better lounges snacks and a lot more people in them than I have ever noticed in the Gold Lounge so I doubt they spent much on food since they put out very little. At the very least they could keep the cookies and cheese and crackers...Why even have Gold if there is no perks. This makes me rethink where I want to have a premium card or if I do.

We're assessing the same thing right now. It's starting to feel like our level of play is not keeping up with the comps we've earned in the past. I doubt we'll get 3 nts in the future even though our daily play increased slightly this trip. We can't get small room charges comped off this trip, hadn't been a problem in the past. Linda just said she's perfectly happy at Bally's. I guess we'll see what our offers are going forward.

Honestly, once Outback Jack is removed that may be my cue to leave too

Actually I'm getting the feeling they do want their gold members to reconsider, but I'm not sure why unless they want to later raise the amount for Gold level and at that time bring back some of the perks.

I think you're right. They are so busy with all the conventions they have booked that it has allowed them to rework their Grazie program and weed out some of the bottom feeders (like me). I couldn't get resort fees removed even though it was a comped stay (first time that's happened).

We're not gonna increase our play, were value players and will just take what we can get. If V\P has raised their bar, we'll just mosey down the Strip again.

So I'm trying to figure out the math here. Grazie awards 20 points per $1 of theoretical loss, right? What does that translate into in typical coin-in?

And how much does bulk cheese cost when bought wholesale and sliced into one-inch cubes?

All I'm saying is, you'd think Uncle Sheldon could afford to cough up a few cheese cubes in exchange for however many thousands of dollars of slot profit he hoovers in per Grazie Gold player.

I think the pencil pushers told him that if we eat our meals there, we won't go eat at the restaurants.

Just got a message that my host there has lost her job. She only had Gold Card players, no Platinum. She was there for years and I feel sorry for her.

I wonder how many other of the Gold/Player Development hosts got the boot?

As far as the Gold Lounge...WHAT A JOKE! If all I want to do is sit in there and drink coffee or tea and watch TV, I can do that in my room!

Oh shit, I hate to hear this. I love my host there and now I am worried about him.

Truthfully, I'd be perfectly happy if they raised the level to reach Gold. Compared to other properties, it is almost too easy to achieve Gold, and Gold actually has (had?) some decent benefits unlike CET platinum, Mlife Pearl, etc. Whatever they are doing, and it seems the phasing out of the Gold Lounge is the tip of the iceberg, I hope they do it soon as the not knowing is the annoying part to me.
