I said sure, I had stayed at Flamingo and Bally's before and would consider it again, but I wouldn't gamble there . He asks why and I tell him that CET is notorious for having horrible VP play everywhere/anywhere in the universe. He then tells me he is a casino sales exec for CET and gives me his business card. I was kinda laughing inside with this revelation, but the conversation continued on. He said that there is no money in gambling, I responded that's for sure if you keep turning the juice down on everything. He then said that all the money now is in the clubs. They had their most successful Spring Break ever. He also says the kids love to spend a grand on bottle service. That's right, a grand for a bottle of booze in a booth. I said I couldn't believe kids can get a grand for a bottle for just one nights entertainment. He said they don't care where or how they get it, because its happening, and it only costs the casino 50-80 bucks for the bottle they are selling them. He told me to email him and he would try to take care of me when I plan my next trip. I did use the email. I have not stayed at a CET property in years, nor have I tried to access my account . He helped reset my password. The guy was legit. Whatcha guys/gals think ? This guy a marketing genius or they desperate ? I think a bit of both.
First post, been reading a few years, I'll keep my head down for sure.
