I did this one earlier in the year when they were offering the same exact deal, and I recommend it. (It is for new accounts only.)
Looks like an EV of approximately +$273 cash, for something that's trivially easy for anyone to complete over, say, the course of a weekend.
Assuming you're putting $5,000 in action against the standard -110 and merely flipping coins to pick sides:
---
(.5 x $4,545.45) - (.5 x $5,000) = -$227
And -$227 plus the $500 bonus = +$273

Of course, you have to go up to the counter and do it in person. In my experience, the employees I dealt with throughout the process ranged from courteous and efficient to utterly indifferent -- but still doing what I needed them to do. Which is fine with me. In fact, in casino promotions, I often consider employee indifference a positive thing. It indicates they have no interest in further scrutinizing you or your account. Probably doesn't matter here, with a basic public-facing promo, but that come in handy in other instances when you may be "pushing the envelope" or working the system a tad aggressively.
My $500 bonus showed up in my account almost instantly once I reached the $5,000 threshold, so no issue there whatsoever. (They say it can take up to 72 hours.) The depositing and withdrawing went smooth and easy.
