    ..Cuz free parking in AC and a line at the buffet in Vegas, lets do it!

    The plan was to get the 500 and get the 125 bonus. I'm a little fish in the sea who will never see Diamond, so you might as well at least be Platinum. Platinum gets you next to nothing these days with the TR credit card, but when you earn it your CET room offers aren't half bad.

    A 4 1/2 hour drive in the rain I reached AC!

    I was staying 2 nights at Harrah's, comp'd. Platinum doesn't let you get out of this line..

    15 minutes later I had keys in the Harbor Tower. If you are familiar with Harrah's in AC, it's the basic tower that could use some TLC. But it's always been clean and suits a good place to crash after a night of drunken gambling.

    I planned on playing on Saturday to get the bonus, but ended up playing and doing an all nighter to get the 500 points by 6am.

    Some wins on the voyage...

    ..At 4:45AM after a night of mostly input input with not a ton of output..I did it

    With a nice buzz and an almost empty wallet, I collapsed!
    Woke up at 10:30am and headed to the Borgata for free play and a buffet.
    Mmm hangover food!

    Low Rolling on Reelin n Boppin for $50!

    Off to utilize Platinum and saving $25 to park..

    Had a sweet bonus on the Caesar's Buffalo where I do well..

    Got outta dodge and took it back to Harrah's..

    Here I proceeded to shove my face at the buffet. Where in AC there is no buffet line for Platinum, waited with the peons.."Oh I got a Platinum card when I signed up for the credit card" "yeah you can go in that line over there then" "Oh really?" No, just no, not in this town folks!

    The slots then proceeded to take all my Caesar's Buffalo $$. But mission accomplished, Platinum renewed for another year! (Woohoo?)

    Mission accomplished! That's what counts. That's one heck of a buffalo win.

    Nice report! Wonder if platinum will save you on parking in Vegas next year. Grrr at MLife making the first move.

    Nice trip report Kenny. Question for you though... do you think you missed out on a good chunk of winnings by not completing by fifth reel on the buffalo bets?

    I would love to get my hands on PAR sheets for these type of games. No way the returns can be the same between min/max bet. I'm curious as to how close they are though.

    Wait.....didnt you need 653 points? Won't you end up just at 628 after the bonus?

    That is some crazy check in line, but otherwise looked like a fun getaway!

    Thanks! By this time next year, it wouldn't surprise me if Platinum gets free parking in Vegas. (Yay? Haha)

    Hehe Thanks! I get asked and it usually gets people in an uproar when they see me bet that way. You will only get one Buffalo in reel 1 when not betting all reels. That can hurt, but usually the higher multiplier helps offset that with other non-Buffalo line hits. In a way it feels like you beat the system when you get credit for a sunset in a non-played reel (like above in the $90 line hit). That's fun! My biggest bonus was around $350 on a $.50 bet with a x5 bet multiplier. In AC x5 is most common, but at Caesars they go up to x10 in which what I was playing. I want to say someone saw a x20 in Vegas? I would be all over that if I come upon one. A boy can dream!

    I did yes! BUT I knew that would be easy if I needed to finish it off in Vegas over Thanksgiving. In the end I think I had 5090 points by Saturday, so I definitely sealed the deal. Getting the bonus just gave me that boost that I couldn't pass up. Thanks VC! :)

    Yay, @CPT! Congrats on renewing Platinum. I remember last year when you did that marathon session at PHo over Thanksgiving...part fun, part pain, but it seemed worth it! So sorry I won't see you at Thanksgiving this time around -- family complications that week are, well, complicated. But wishing you ALL the Buffalo on your trip, and an insanely great dinner as well!

    So good to read a TR from you again, thanks for sharing. Can't believe that Harrahs has figured out how to expedite check in lines yet...worst lines for checking in I've ever experienced anywhere. You had some nice hits, congrats on making platinum again. Still couponing?

    See ya soon!

    Thanks boots, will miss seeing you there, really enjoyed dinner with the family last year! The reason I decided to get this done before Vegas as while fun, it felt like a job at one point and I'd rather just enjoy myself this year and not feel pressured. Such the life of a gambler!

    Hey Long time, thanks! I will give them one thing the lines did move fairly quick and they had someone directing traffic. I am still couponing and running my YouTube channel..
