Thanks CET

Baltimore does give comp rooms. I think now it's just at a Sheraton but they used to have others. We stayed at a Hyatt. We just went in our car but they have or at least had a shuttle bus, plus there's probably cabs also.
It's been a while but aren't there some tax issues with winning handpays in Maryland as a non-MD resident - i.e. that you have to then file a state tax return there as a non-resident? I didn't win shit there so it wasn't an issue but I remember my CLE then-CET host giving me a heads up because one of her Seven Stars went there, won a bunch and got hosed on taxes.

National Harbor just opened. Big casino in a beautiful hotel. I'm curious about tax consequences on a handpay....that would be the same at ANY Baltimore casino, I assume. Not to worried. I've got an accountant so IF I won, the tax return is handled. I may take them up on the offer once just for shits and giggles. The latest offer is two free nights tonight through Wednesday. Too short of notice but again, I may give them a try over my beloved CET just because the casino is in the hotel. Screw having to take a shuttle. I like gambling while he wife gets ready, ya know?

Ya know i all ways hear how a lot of folks say that downtown is the best place to gamble at . ill have to be honest here. weve won very little downtown as a mater of fact we have done much better on the strip heck this last trip out we had a nice run at the Luxor and PH with a few nice hits at paris and of course Donna's hp over to Venetian .

i've always done well at circus circus. Downtown for me lets me play longer and i earn better comps....and don't have to walk a mile to go from one place to another. I would def. like to go to the Venetian/Palazzo this trip and see how I do! CET properties I can always get a room...just have no desire to walk a mile to my room.

Yeah the walking is the down side

Whatever happened to the bonus TR we are supposed to be getting after opting in in October? When will that show up in our accounts? All I see from looking is 50 TR points from my last time there at harrahs so cal, enough to be eligible to swipe my card for a prize before I left. Going tomorrow for hopefully another 50 points at least and more depending on what the free play does for me. My goal is to average at least 50 TR points per trip winning off my free play. I was supposed to go on Sunday and then on Monday again for 10x the rewards points, but did not want to wake up sunday morning and slept in missing the bus and it was raining Monday anyway so also stayed home.

One thing I don't understand is why total rewards lowered my free play last month by 20 and then lowered it again by 10 this month (60 free play in November with 50 bonus twice a week, December 40 free play with 40 bonus twice a week, now January 30 free play with 20 bonus twice a week). Does not make sense because I average same amount of points each trip with the least one trip being 30 points on a bad day. A few times in November and in December I made over 500 points in one day. I was going twice a week due to the promotions on sunday and then going back on Monday for 10x the reward points. Maybe going too much in a month is why they did it? Since harrahs so cal messed up the Genie power payouts causing the jackpots to go slower, I have not been averaging as many points due to the jackpots being low. Major used to go up over 100 a lot before the casino changed it to stay around 30 like the other casinos. Mega also used to go over 300.

Usually around March they show up. As for free play earning 50 points is probably not going to get much no offense.

I think the points from the October-December promo will show up the end of this month actually.

Unless you have two degenerates playing on the same card for 16 hours straight.....

Thank you. 50 points is just a goal for each trip. There is a promotion every monday-wednesday at harrahs so cal where if you get at least 50 points, you swipe your card for prizes ranging from free play, food, rewards credit, etc. Usually I get the reward credits and 5,000 is what I have gotten a lot and can get 25 dollars free play out of that a week later during my next weeks trip. Last week I got 10 dollars in rewards credit swiping. It is a very good promotion.

Oh and the reason I got only 50 points is because about 15 minutes later the public transit bus was going to leave to go to valley view (a casino 4 miles away from harrahs) to use my free play there for 2 hours and then head back. Most trips I get at least 100 points, which is good because harrahs is 5 dollars a point. Plus I was almost out of money from my winnings at harrahs before I left and I wanted enough to save for the bus fare to and back and to activate my free play at VV. Public transit Bus is every 2 hours, so only have to stay 2 hours at VV and then come back to get ready to get on harrahs shuttle back home. Valley View free play is every 10 days (3 times each month) so 3 times each month I only spend about 80 minutes at harrahs before heading to Valley view. I bet that probably is what hurt my harrahs offers because when I come back to harrahs if I dont eat at valley view, I spend the last 30 minutes before having to leave to eat. I should do 2 separate trips (one day at harrahs and one day at VV), but valley view pays good at the time I like to go there and whenever I tried to go in the morning I would not win much or last long and plus being at valley view only 2 hours, I have better luck bringing home winnings.

Thank you. If not the end of this month, it will probably be around March like foamy mentioned.

Oh CET $70k coin in for a 70" tv seems like a logical thing to chase!
