Quote: aceofspadesbartender at Aria just told a VP player that so long as he always plays max bet, he can get one free drink every half hour
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.
Quote: aceofspadesHow does the bartender certify that he player has maintained the max bets?
by the max tipping that he leaves
btw, the Kentry fixation with Aria .... the other shoe is in midair
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.Quote: aceofspadesbartender at Aria just told a VP player that so long as he always plays max bet, he can get one free drink every half hour

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

Ah, so your mom's name is "Max?"
You must be "Ken Bet."

On what basis are you presuming that it is a great place, if you've never been there?

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.

and you know this how?
Quote: BozThis 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.

Does Mom know about this?

That's like 2 haircuts worth of Scotch...
Quote: KentryI 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.
Quote: WizardofnothingEveryone in here feeding the into absolute nonsense . We are replying to someone probably fictional gambling takes and more then likely made up stories......... I don't buy a single word of it!!!!!!!!!!!
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......
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.
Not going to sit and defend myself
Not at all.
Glad you have just fit right in here, good job.
It's harder for some than for others, as it should be I guess.
I'm trying to find the right words here, bear with me.....
You seem to feed Kentry a lot, and I have done the same here and there.
Cheers! And no offense.. 2F

So I am assuming you thing kentry and the others are real? You are definitely in the minority
Quote: IbeatyouracesAria looks like a giant warehouse inside. I wasn't impressed.
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....
He's like the kid in class wearing a "Kick me" sign.

He's like the kid in class wearing a "Kick me" sign.
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.

I would change this to: Vegas is making billions of $$$$ by giving away drinks.

And they'd make billions more by charging for them!
Quote: WizardofnothingNo need to take it off when he is the one that put it on... If he didn't it would be a different story I would take it off but come on he is egging everyone on
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..
Quote: IbeatyouracesAnd they'd make billions more by charging for them!
I disagree.. they'd lose billions by charging for them.

You forget who the typical Vegas tourist is.
Quote: BozLove the chocolate place in Aria. Overpriced but oh so good.
+1
Quote: WizardofnothingFunny 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
damn my record for free chocolate is only about 160
