Hi regnis:
Whenever a casino tells me of "exciting changes" next year, I shudder as it is usually a prelude to diluted benefits.
The two free nights in Dubai is a hoot. Anyone interested in traveling at their own expense for two nights in a non-casino hotel (illegal to gamble in Dubai) in the Persian Gulf with few visible women and overpriced food? Anyone?
FAB--that should be the first official review of the free nights in Dubai. You paint a pretty picture.
One of my friends in the horse industry had to go there for their big day of racing--the Dubai World Cup. He told me never again and he did refuse to ever go again.
I doubt that they'd make it harder to get rooms in AC....just judging from the mailers I get having not been there in almost 3 years, and no CET play anywhere in 2018, they seem desperate to fill rooms.

Well, I got that email too. The text seems to imply no significant additional devaluations next year. I still think that CET is mistaken in not having an intermediate level between Diamond (15,000) and Seven Stars (150,000):
If someone like Dan Druff earns 5,000 tier credits it at least means one or more guaranteed Vegas and Atlantic City nights.
If you haven't been to Dubai you would enjoy it. The food in hotel restaurants is over priced as expected, but go out and about and you'll find delicious reasonably-priced to cheap food. Publicly outside of the nice high rise hotels you'll find the women all covered up. But go to the hotel bars and clubs after dark and there's just as many scantily dressed young women as in any London hotel. These are where everybody from town along with out of town hotel visitors unwind after their typical stuffy and strict Muslim days.Quote:

My company paid the fine and I was released in 24 hours.
