    I saw photos of all the flooding all across the south east of our country. The Tunica pics made me think, I'll bet Mousey is glad she went before all this mess!

    It is a horrible situation for all. Especially the New Orleans people. They have to be getting panicky.

    ....
    Unlike playing at online casinos, even though we left with some of the Goldstrike's money, I'll bet you they send us free room and freeplay and meal coupons for later on. If they don't, I'll be extremely surprised.
    Just as a follow up... Even though the GS gave us free rooms, food, money last trip (which was our first trip in YEARS) AND I hit a nice little progressive... Yesterday I received coupons for June ... $100 in freeplay, $50 food, and 2 free Any nights (that includes weekends).

    Soooo... Guess they thought I played in the Spirit of the Bonus and want me (and my money) to come back. LOL

    begin short rant....

    My point, is that online casinos (whenever we get to play again) have GOT to get their crap together about player retention and comps. REAL comps... not these silly $10 free but you can only cash out $100 or whatever after playing it thru 40 times only on slots, and musn't vary the wager too much, and musn't flat bet, and musn't bet too high (that's trying to win big and abuse the bonus) and musn't bet too low (that's trying to win by grinding out the WR), and can't withdraw unless you stand on your head and whistle Dixie with your mouth full of crackers.

    And not these comp points traps of Earn 1/1000th of a cent per every $1000 wagered, and then when you redeem them, you must wager them 40x and can only cash out 5x or 10x the amount redeemed. That's not a comp.

    /end rant

    Dunno if we'll get to go in June... real life and all that... if Tunica were only closer... the 6 hour drive isn't a day trip or a quick one nighter..

    I am leaving tomorrow of a charter flight from Green Bay to Tunica courtesy of Harrah's. Now that I am semi-retired just doing consulting projects on MY schedule, I have been taking advantage of almost every free charter that comes my way and there have been a lot of them.

    This particular one is free air and 3 nites hotel over Memorial Day weekend. I am staying at the Horseshoe, which reopened last weekend according to my host there.

    I will give a mini trip report when I return. My understanding was that Harrah's - formerly knows as "The Grand" - was hit the hardest in terms of the flooding. But I will know more tomorrow.

    Staying at the Horseshoe, besides being a lot nicer than Harrah's in rooms and casino, also allows me to play at Gold Strike and use comps from both places. I know all my food will be comped - so only expense is gaming funds.

    Went to the Roadhouse (next door to Horseshoe which is also a Harrah's property) but its a dump and I wouldn't go back there again.

    FWIW,

    Diane
