If you look at vpfree2 under "what's new", there are TWENTY entries for Downtown Grand. My goodness, what a mess.
Reminds me a little of Plaza about four or five years ago. I knew that wasn't going to last.

'Emergencies' have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.

And yet, IIRC it went for like 7 months. I think a guy could have reasonably made about fifty thousand in those seven months.Quote: bobbartopIf you look at vpfree2 under "what's new", there are TWENTY entries for Downtown Grand. My goodness, what a mess.

I've seen several cryptic entries .
So are people flocking there or fleeing from there?

There may be a little bit confusion on my part which promotion was being talked about. I was thinking about the Plaza / Las Vegas club double Royals and whatnot. The 28% thing was good as well, but that only lasted for 24 hours.Quote: FleaStiffa guy? could?

I'm not sure who's playing at the Downtown Grand, but I don't think people are flocking there. Personally, I don't like grinding on video poker all day anymore, unless it's something super good.

Has anyone here actually gambled, or stayed, at the Grand in the last 12 months?

I played for about an hour in September. Won about $90 thanks to these. It was very dead, but it was also Tuesday afternoon. The 9/6 DDB UX Aces weren't a vulture. I was giving up on the session.

I stayed there during Spring Fling. I didn't pay much attention to the VP as it hadn't been that good in the past, and I didn't expect it to be any better. Freedom Beat has a halfway decent Pot Roast Sandwich, though.

Wow! It's nearly impossible to find halfway decent food.

Pizza Rock, Evil Pie, Naked City: all good pizza.
American Conney Island: Chili dogs.
Triple George: Semi fancy.
Hugos Celler: Fancy (never been, but universally loved.)
Andiamo: Steak. Oscars supposed to be good, never been.
Binion's steakhouse has a great view and vibe and my favorite ceasars. The steak is a bit bellow top end places, but also cheaper. Binions cafe is good.
Le Thai is good too.

Rigondeaux, take the wife to Hugo's. They also have a salad cart that is as good as anybody's.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

They also have a reasonably decent gyro too.

They downgraded the $1 10/6 double double and 10/7 double bonus, both to 9.
