Pondering a weekend trip to Tunica or Biloxi, Miss.....

[mush]

or possibly philadelphia, but i'd rather go to the other 2. since its a little last minute, i just wanted to check with you guys to see if anyone has an affiliate or some hook up who may be able to even just get weekend reservations at a casino in any of those cities. i always stay at the gold strike in tunica, but haven't been in a while and only get weekday offers, same for philadelphia. i haven't been to biloxi since katrina, so i only get a few things from IP, but nothing special. any help would be appreciated. thanks

I've got some sweet offers for next month in the mail today, very tempting for a few nights in Tunica. If you call your host at MGM/Gold Strike they can probably work something out with you.

i will definitely let you know if we decide to head that way. when i checked the online reservations earlier in the week, there were no vacancies anywhere saturday night, but i know they set plenty aside also. unfortunately, i haven't played enough at the gold strike to have a host. my best friend did have a contact who could get us comped rooms in biloxi or tunica w/very little or no notice, but for some reason he can only now help with vegas rooms..........i don't think i can talk my husband into vegas this weekend......

You really don't have to be a high roller and have an assigned host to talk to one, just call reservations and ask for VIP services or to speak to a casino host. They don't like to transfer you when you call the 877 number so use the direct dial number. (662) 357-1111 just ask for a casino host. What I always say is could you check my play and see if you can help me out with a saturday night. That way it doesn't sound like you're asking for a freebie, you're asking for a freebie or a casino rate.

Pulled this from online fyi and earlier today I gave Laurie my contact at THE SHOE. No idea if she will do you any good as 2 of 3 Harrah's sold out (and yes they hold some rooms back) but hopefully!...........Brianzz, let me know if you are going to be in Tunny on the w-e of the 7th or 14th in March (I could be there both,lol). Got about $5K including the deal below and all these slot vouchers that they let me redeem for moolah. The 7 Star offers below have to be used on the 7th or 14th of March but still always an impulse decision for moi. I do hang out in the ultra lounge bar near the lobby at GS though so maybe we can meet up for a shot or 2, or 10!

thanks. i thought you meant my personal vip host, which i don't have. i will call like you suggested. it looks like we all may use similar lines for stuff like this.........


btw, gretchen wilson is at the gold strike friday night, so that does us no favors with the rooms

..........gold strike is one of the few places that has any rooms left and pretty pricey as g.wilson will be there... im waiting on the fitz to see what they can do but it looks like ill be staying at one of the non casino inns for 79.00 fri and 129.00 sat. if i cant find anything else, let me know mush if you and your hubby will be there and ill pm you my cell # and we can maybe all do dinner. garry is still sick with the flu bug when i talked to him earlier today so he wont be able to go but you never know with him, get better soon garry (nashvegas)................laurie

[brianzz]

Nash I'll let you know.. I've almost let myself be talked into the last part of April by these people I call friends.

Laurie I have some contacts at the non-casino places I'll see if I can get you a better deal.

Best I could work was 85 Fri and 120 Sat at the Quality Inn on casino strip resorts Blvd, must be expecting a busy weekend.
