Strong offer for new members

I recently made a special trip to this casino, which is inside the Westin on Flamingo Road, because of a very attractive sign-up offer. The casino will reimburse the first $50 you lose in slots or video poker (though the VP payback is lousy), so it's basically a $50 free roll. On top of that, you get a $10 table game matchplay, and on top of that, there's a $25 matchplay in the latest American Casino Guide. I found out about this trifecta here: http://vegasoffthestrip.blogspot.com/

I almost never play slots, but I decided to use my free roll on a machine that could have a big jackpot -- dollar Wheel of Fortune. I jumped ahead $60 immediately and decided to quit there, rather than sink back down to -$50 and be reimbursed.

Hmmm.....

If you had cashed out $60 ahead, then put $50 in and lost that, (either in the same or different machine), would that have been reimbursed?

I don't think so. At least, that's not the spirit of the promotion.

I should correct this to say that you're reimbursed in free play after you lose $50. Took my girlfriend here over the weekend and she hit the same machine for $520 after just a few pulls. No reimbursement needed.

I see, so you have to be down net $50 before you get reimbursed... so you would have had to lose $110 from your top? Good choice on quitting then, you're a better man than I.

I did this promotion last year, its a really good one..........plus its very close to the strip, so no reason not to stop over there for a bit and do it.

Also, if you go midweek, they have a gambling happy hour, which sports $3 craps and $.25 roulette

The reimbursement has been reduced to $25, unfortunately. Still worth the short walk from the Flamingo.

I am confused which casino is it? The westin has a casino?

Edit: Never mind I didn't read the thread title, Darwin moment for me!

Caveat Gamblor: They won't let you use the $10 matchplay and the $25 matchplay on the same day.

Its fifty dollars in slot play, not cash.
Its only for that first day's play, not 24 hours.

I imagine if you were going to play slots anyway, it might be worth it.
