Which of these Boyd properties would you prefer to stay at?

I was cruelly shot down by Tuscany. They said the host who made me the offer has now been fired, and the offer is rescinded. So, in so many words, f-them.

I was able to book MSS for one weekend and Gold Coast the next, with a 3-nights Harrah's comp (plus poker tourney freeroll!) in between. Will fill out the rest of the days with Wizard reviews. Anyway, I find this stuff interesting.


I know some stuff but I'm not sure what you mean. And, are you left doing a few all nighters somewhere?

No, I should be able to get everything for free. I'm trying to do a completely free trip. Will write a post about it later.

The question was "Where would you STAY" so I voted for the California. I love the MSS. The beer, the food, the vp. But I'm not a high roller so they always put me on the train/highway side. Now I stay at the Cal. The rooms are a bit smaller but they are quieter. And the Hawaiian clientel are very friendly. Everyone says "hi' on the elevator and striking up a conversation anywhere is easy. My kind of place to stay. But I LOVE the MSS for eating, drinking and gambling. Where else can you "piss" on the Berlin Wall (sorry ladies).

Thanks. By the way, if anyone wants to know the resolution of this, I followed the will of the people and chose Main Street Station. I will let you know how it is.

Will be very interesting. Some people do seem to manage to get RFB and to more-or-less break even on the gambling.

I kinda wish I had chose the California. I agree with you, it is very nice.

Last time I was there, I was walking through on my way to Fremont and stopped to watch two Hawaiian ladies playing Blazing Sevens dollar slots. One was complaining about how they had been having a losing trip. The other lady was commiserating with her. On my way back, the complaining lady had hit the jackpot. The other woman was congratulating her, hugging her, etc. She looked so happy. It was heartwarming -- kind of the opposite type of experience of the Wizard's seeing the dead person at the Hilton.

As far as I'm concerned, CalFreStation might as well be one property. I think Boyd treats it the same way, too.
