It is a shame. Just yesterday the Downtown Grand no longer validates parking with a player card. You have to be silver to park in the garage for free. Valeting requires the top tier black card. Anybody else must pay $7. Place looked like a ghost town. Restaurant recently removed their 10% players card discount. Drop off in business notable.
More and more people will decide to go to their local casinos in their home states if Vegas tries to go the captive audience route. First person to bring back the 80's - 90's experience with comp discretion and game rules will crush it. The place won't be big enough to service all the players that would flow through the doors.
Sucks to be a bartender at the Mirage now...LOL

You do know that many local casinos in their home states charge for drinks, parking and they are even non-smoking.
I've actually gone in there before, gave the cashier/club person my card+ID and said, "I should have XXX in a free bet voucher, you gotta go 2 pages back from the main screen in order to find it." And they were surprised and asked how I knew where they had to go on the computer.
DTG's 3:2 DD BJ game has been closed the last 4 visits I've made to that dump. Twice on a weekend night time, probably 8-10 PM, and twice during the day. It's never open. That 6:5 DD BJ game never has any action on it, either. I'm thinking the casino hates money and just wants to see how much they can lose before they go out of business. I hope they go out of business soon and let someone else take over.
I find that the El Cortez is one of the only casinos that treats low rollers fairly. That's kind of sad.Quote: MaxPen

Classic death spiral has officially begun ?
So where are the good places to park downtown now ?
Don't worry. Who needs all that stuff, anyway?Quote: JohnnyQClassic death spiral has officially begun ?
Did you know that spirals are made up of the internal structure of the ellipses?
