Just booked this one as a possibility for our possible October Manilow-John-Buffett concert trip. We were planning on being in Vegas Oct 12-15 but now we're looking at staying the 15th and adding the Jimmy Buffett concert to the itinerary. 50/50 right now...

Here is the offer:

$150 free play ($30 if not staying at TI)
Three nights
$75 food/beverage

This is a very good offer based on the play we gave TI. I thought we would give them more play than we did but we simply had more fun at other locations. This offer is enough to get us to go back again...we liked the hotel; we just had better luck at other casinos.

So far we have rooms at Tropicana and TI. There are two couples going; I may slide them a room but those two are a little far apart!! We also may stay a night at the El Cortez for some downtown action.

Yes it is and it is very similar to the offer we got as well. We got $75 f/b and $200 FP with 3 comped night. We are using ours in October as well but it will be for the first week in Oct. I think we are lucky Ron and should definitely take them up on it as we are! Good luck when you go.... looks like I will be donating to a possible jackpot for you since we will be there before you!

I have an El Cortez offer; so I can score a free room there, too.

I'm way behind GG on free rooms and free play...I think he could stay a month without paying for a room!!!

Nice offer Ron, I got the same, except $200 in FP like Deb. I liked everything about TI, including the casino floor (only because I won on almost everything I touched..haha) I emailed Joy to let her know I will be heading out on Halloween and she replied back that I can book directly through her for future trips. So apparently I played enough to warrant her services, which is nice because I gambled way over my norm for that trip in April.

Quick question for everyone: Am I correct in assuming to utilize the F/B credit that I charge everything to the room and then the $75 is applied to that upon check out?

That's how it is done at other hotels, so I expect TI does the same. I got the TI offer too but have $400 in free play and $250 in F&B (I lost more than everyone else):). I booked for Oct 8-10.

What a HUGE difference winning makes in our overall enjoyment. I'm not talking about bringing home life-changing money (though I would love any place that I won that in, too); I'm talking about getting enough wins to have a lot of fun. Not those silly fake wins where you bet $5.00 and the bell rings like you hit the jackpot for a ten cent one line payout--the ones where you have a TITO that is fun to cash in.

I'm hoping we get some of those at TI this time. They never developed on our last trip...

It makes all the difference! On my first day is when I hit the $500 on $.25 WOF there:

From there I had the bankroll to just play and luckily for me I played and played and never got to the point of where I was down and felt like I was losing. The last night I stopped, not because I was losing, but because I needed to hit the sack to get up early in the AM to leave. I was playing $1 machines, $3-$5 a spin and bonus after bonus like a kid in a candy store!

This was one I had on video:

I came home fairly even. I will go and eat their food and play on their dime for a bit and hopefully I have some of the same luck. If not I'm saving my money for deep fried oreos at Mermaids on Stumble day!

Thanks Mary! Get those Buffalo roaming! :D

CPT you are such a lucky brat! We didn't win squat there but we are determined this time to do better! They were lacking a lot of the games that I like but trust me, they have enough to keep me busy!

:p I was a lucky brat that trip and I hope you and Dave can be lucky brats too! They really needed some Stinkin Rich, but I know they have it over at Venetian if I need a fix.

Haha I must have been in Vegas the sametime as the last meet and greet! I just got a similar offer like some of you... They got me good in the high limit room and after I watched a guy loose $1,000 in atleast 6 machines in a row I thought to myself its time to go and play else where. To bad I didn't see him loose before I tried on the machines myself haha!

Nice Free Play offer. I am heading to Vegas on 9/22 - staying at Harrah's. Trying to decide where I want to spend the most time playing. I want to play new machines - like the ones they show in Strickly Slots. Where should I play????

Well, you all received some very generous offers. The only postcard I got reads like this:
"Stay with us and enjoy special rates starting as low as $39 Sunday - Thursday and weekend rates as low as $69. Also enjoy a $50 Kahunaville value pack and 30% off Oleksandra Spa & Salon services! From September 1st to December 29th, 2011"
No FP, no free stay, no nothing.... I probably did not play as much as all of you (loyalty was across the street at V/P) or maybe the offers are only sent to the good looking people!

Deb, what's the dates of your October trip? I arrive early morning October 5th for G2E and will likely stick around for 5 nights staying at Encore and Palazzo. I'm missing the first day of the G2E expo on October 4th because of a ZZ Top concert. :(
