During a visit on July 4, 2016, there was a power failure at Harvey's. There was only electricity at Harrah's. Boy was that casino wing crowded. So I do guess there is a history of power issues there.

The Straw Hat sign caught my eye since I have never seen one before. I did not look near Cabo Wabo as I was disappointed by the faux Mexican food I ate there and vowed to never return. When I did eat there a couple of years ago, I charged it to the room without any issues.

This trip I "washed" some free play in "play till you lose" chips at the blackjack tables in Harvey's. When I was there, the pit supervisor swapped out the cards. My wife asked if she could have the old cards and we were told all we had to do was go to the Harvey's cashier and we could get a couple of decks. We did so at the Seven Stars service part of the Harvey's cashier and got the decks there. I do not know if every cashier will hand them out to everyone. Like a lot of things, Seven Stars sometimes get special treatment.

While I have seen bigger players get more tickets (even virtual tickets) where there are drawings, I do not believe this was the case during the Holiday dinner. I checked in with my wife (even after some significant play) and we each got ONE white ticket with our name on it and was put in the actual clear plastic drum. the drum did look like in had about 300-400 tickets so pretty close to the same amount of participants. BTW, there was only ONE player whose name was called but was not present so she did not win her prize and an alternate name was picked. The only oddity to me was that three of the 21 names were at one of the 30 tables -- including one winner who appeared to be a close friend of the VIP Ceasars regional President who had a loooong visit with her after she won. Do I think it was rigged? Probably not, but the optics weren't great. Not one of the people in my table won any prizes.
