You can put some lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.

Well, Ben...no resort fees.
I think it is better than Arizona Charlie's.

I am hoping that all the hoopla does not take out those progressive Bonus Poker machines at the Vue bar. I hit quads twice when they were high on my last trip and then did something else while the progressive grew back.
Usually, that meant playing full pay Deuces on an old nickle machine that I also hope survives the renovation. A coin dropper and lots of fun.
One of the big ACG coupon losses was the 2 for 1 food coupons that let me get two orders of the homemade potato chips right there at the Vue. That was a meal.

I thought Kevin Fitz magic was pretty good as well. And they were really nice to us. Wild Bill and I went for free on vouchers given with my couple free nights. Kevin was replaced by other comics the night we went. We expressed out disappointment at the door, and they comped us a later show after Kevin came back from vacation. So we had 4 free shows.

I did not play enough for free room mailings for my next trip, but they tend to give me 2 for 1 when the rooms are $30 Total, so $15 is not a bad price, and in some ways it is better than a mailing. I can book 4 nights in a row, with 2 of them free.
I am hoping that the renovation upgrades the beds. Rumor has it that it will.



And the location is perfect for me. I can move luggage easily from Four Queens, where I play heavy for weekend rooms, to the D and back, so I can eliminate too many trips on the bus with luggage and manage 13 nights in a row in the same location.
I can't get that at the El Cortez. They stop me after 7 nights.

Can't say I liked the poker room much. It closed in January.
