What a bargain. At Binions they bring them
as fast as I drink them. As long as you tip,
they're always right there asking if you want
another.

Some number of years ago, I had the privilege of buying Mrs. Q a $ 5 diet coke while she was playing VP at the bar at Encore. What the HECK ? Needless to say, I wasn't crazy 'bout that.

That's really sh.. Crappy of Aria to do. I'm appalled that a place that seemed so great would tell a Gambler to always Max Bet so he can free drinks. Always Max Betting to get a free drink is a horrible promotion as Max Bet will kick your ass a lot of times as you have the potential to lose some really big money. Can't believe Aria is running this "promotion." Damn disgusting. SMDH

I have read rave reviews of The Aria from the internet. But I am shocked that The Aria is running a promotion "Play Max Bet, Get a free drink." Many Casinos don't run such a horrible promotion and you can do Minimum bet and still get a free drink.

This is a policy, not a promotion. Most casinos have a similar policy. The difference is in how it is enforced and if employees are allowed to use their judgement to make exceptions based on common sense. I'm sure Binions has a policy as well.

Well, it's a really f..messed up policy. No one should have to Max Bet in order to get a free drink. Hell, I'll go Minimum bet and then buy my $8 Scotch instead.

I am not a huge drinker. I am just saying if I had to play Max Bet in order to get a "free" drink, I might as well buy an $8 Scotch drink. In many cases, just 4 spins with no hits at Max Bet is $8 anyways.

Not grasping the concept yet again sir; the EV of placing $8 worth of bets should cost about 80 cents on a bar VP machine, at worst.

Yeah, I know you said "with no hits" but that is what I mean.

Not being insulting, just curious.
WoN is a fairly new poster here. Quite a few posts. Too many posts about Kentry, but just IMO.
Noticed an endorsement from Mod as a 'go to guy' for VP intel.
Didn't see any kind of intro from WoN as the new member joined.
No doubt I missed something, happens all the time......

Two feathers, i have no reason to need to defend myself I only post in reply to kentry because it's utter nonsense, I post plenty of other topics and comment on others. I have met plenty of people from here in person which is probably why babs said that - not saying I met her.
Actually I think it's even been said in the forums I met ace a couple of weeks back.
Everyone knows what kentry posts is nonsense and may or may not be true.

Aria is a good casino and the rooms are awesome. Just the whole design and layout not so much. Looks like a place that fell and entrapped itself on its own "intelligence" and "sophistication." Overdone at times. Also the place is too darn dark.

You missed my point I think.
Most miss my points, you are a member of a large club ;-)
No, I don't believe Kentry is what Kentry was/ is claiming to be.
He is posting much more mature comments in the last few days,
Including gambling advice to others, which is,... is...., it just so much IS..
And Kentry is not alone in claiming to be, or not, something that is doubtful, or not.
I do know (think) he is real, which he reminds you/us of repeatedly, constantly.
That only means I believe a real person out there is posting, with extreme inconsistency, in a persona that I assume is fabricated, and may be duplicitous, possibly with other fabricated persona that may be posting right along beside Kentry.
I am a jokester, often bad jokes, or misunderstood jokes, etc.... I am what I am,
But just me, just IMO, I don't find Kentry funny.
I don't find the concept humorous.
Perhaps others are ROTFL, good for them....

Which begs a question of your behavior.
Do you 'kick' him, or take the sign off and show it to him?
I have done both, one time or another.

Funny you can use express comps for merchandise anywhere in Vegas but if you tip the girl at the chocolate place she will let you since they allow you to use them on drinks but not packaged chocolate- somehow I ended up with 800 in chocolate last trip

This is why I slog thru all the often nothingness.
Sometimes a bright light appears...

If someone puts on a sign that says "kick me", check for candid camera type set-ups, then just turn loose.

Once upon a time, long ago, during some heated conversation in real life (not Internet) I said something like "don't make me kick your ass" to an underling at work, I was his supervisor. Young kid, not a bad worker overall but had an attitude. Attitude involved the fact that his dad was one of the corporate officers at Nat'l HQ right down the road. He said something smart assed back, and turned to walk away. One hard kick, brought him about six inches off the ground, had to sting a little. He turned, we stared for a moment, he returned to work.

Of course the terminal manager was waiting for me to come to work the next day. He tried very hard to keep a straight face while he explained that despite the fact that I had, in record time, turned the entire dept in a new and positive direction that I would not be allowed to kick anyone in the ass on company grounds again and the appropriate notes were being added to my employee record. I worked there for another 8 years or so. Never kicked anyone else. Didn't need to..
