Thread: Disgusted with video poker floor people

    How is it that other "members" here can tell me more than what your own posts identify? And why are you ignoring the other facts about the rooms, the ability to obtain more and better comps with less play, and the property location?

    BTW, Wizard once suspended HIMSELF for calling a member a vulgar name.

    Last I checked -- maybe two years ago -- Red Rock had 25-cent FPDW. Any idea if that is still available? I know it's beneath some folks' notice, but winning beats losing. Rob is right in that Red Rock is a lovely place, with a good-looking sports book and very nice, modern rooms. Beautiful standard rooms, really. Even the buffet, which is just a Stations' buffet, is a good-looking place architecturally. Haven't tried the steak house, but people say it is top of the line.

    Stayed there once 2 years ago. Here is my summary:

    1. Room pretty nice
    2. Buffet decent for the price. Not a gourmet buffet but food pretty good.
    3. Steak House--had a horrible meal. Don't know if that was 1 bad one or usual fare.
    4. Race book was adequate but dark. They did bring me a brighter bulb on request.
    5. V.P. that I played had bad schedules. I didn't take the time to shop it throughout the casino as play was minimal.
    6. Location sucks--middle of nowhere . If you like to walk the length of the strip and go in various casinos like I do it sucks.

    I wound up checking out early and going to Caesars for last 2 days where I was more comfortable.

    Regnis, I'm more of a person who prefers a comfortable setting in a nice area, and I like on-site movie theaters. The more out-of-the-way, the better. Red Rock, Aliente Station, The M, and Rampart are my favorite locations. When I arrive and leave, I dislike traffic and long waits, and compared to these places, the Strip is a problem waiting to happen.

    I carry a small flashlight for issues like you described, but I didn't think the sportsbook was that dark. Haven't eaten at their buffet, but each time I've eaten at T-Bones it was excellent. You probably had a one-time bad experience.

    Curious: why are you comfortable in a place like Caesars? Is it because you know people there, you prefer their book, or you're more familiar with the place?

    Rob-I have a light app on my phone that I use for brief moments when I need light. But when sitting there for 10 hours trying to read a racing form, the lighting is very important and you can't hold my light app or a flashlight for that long. But in that respect, Caesars is only slightly better. At my OTB here at home, they put in a super powered overhead light just over my booth for me. Others who requested the same were denied. That is really the only place I've played horses that has sufficient light and that was a special favor.

    I am comfortable at Caesars just because of familiarity. But more important to me is the ability to roam the strip, at any time of day or night. So whether it is caesars or one of the other premium strip locations, I have that ability that the casinos on the outskirts don't give me. Just a personal preference---more me than a statement against red rock or the others. I'll let Alan explain but I have "shpilkes" and can't stay in one place too long.
