GVR Perks

After my posted message about Station Casinos' marketing efforts to locals,
one AVLVer e-mailed and asked me for some details, which I provided. And
believe me, there are a LOT of such details.

I'd be happy to post similar information on AVLV if some of you are really
interested in reading it.

But there's one thing you'd want to keep in mind: Describing the benefits we
receive is not a brag. We are just numbers in their computer, and their
marketing software automatically tells them what promos to send us. It is
not because of who we are, but only due to their analysis of our activity at
their casino. Thousands of folks, I'm sure, receive virtually the same
offers that we do, so in describing them to you, it is really generic based
on our play there.

GASP! You mean.....it's not because they're standing around in a
conference room discussing people on a list, and all saying, "Hey,
there's that Chuck Kohlenberg! Give him the world!"

You mean....they look at how much money you throw down the drain at
their casino, and decide to give you a piece of it back--as an
enticement to throw MORE money down the drain at their casino?

The SWINE!

Hmmmmm.....how much does one have to throw through their big gaming
machine to get a free room back?

Well, I guess we know how much Chuck throws around, then. Yes sir, he
makes Sam Walton look like a piker, our Chuck does.

There are a few things I don't like about the way the place is run, but not
enough to overcome the bennies. It certainly allowed me to cut way back on
my trips to the Strip to do my gambling.

I presume "elitist kiss " may refer to the types of labels some folks
apply to anyone who doesn't have a personal horse in a race, but likes to
share info for the benefit of others who may be wondering.

Anyway, there doesn't seem to be much call for the info I've offered, so
there's no immediate reason to do so. That's the end of my participation in
this thread.
