GOOD FOR YOU STATION CASINOS!

We got trouble in river city!!...We ain't got no river$$$!!Breakfast @ Paris/Cafe (24 coffee-shop) for 2 eggs/bacon/toast/coffee is $17.00. Cigs @ giftshop $7.00. Cigs @ $25 Blackjack Table, $7.00 off your Players Card earned Comps??!!I heard the Treasure Island is now giving their employees box lunches vs. warm meals as they have had for many years to help the low wage situation, and layed off the kitchen people from the Employee Dining Room. This is happening all around LV. If you are not from Vegas, you are probably saying boowho...But The EDR is a special place & has been a reward for ever.Viva Las Vegas...Elvis will be back

The good news is if you earn 1000 points on Thanksgiving, your buffet will be free!

Gonzo wrote on November 26, 2008 12:16 PM: After reading most of the post I have to agree that greed has changed Vegas in a very bad way. I've been visiting Vegas for 20 years and have seen the changes to the high end restraunts , the bottle service at outrageous prices, the room rate skyrocket and the mid level player just pushed to the side. I started staying at the Rio just after the first tower was built. I just loved the place , I told all my friends about it and they also booked there for their vacations. I watched as it grew larger and larger , then the Harrah's corporation bought it from the private owners. From that day forward it started to change, the beautiful cocktail servers were gone , the offers for rooms and food -gone- the comfortable feel wasn't there anymore. The original owners seemed to take pride in their hotel and services. It must have been because they owned the place and made a good living with out paying stock holders. Harrah's has turned this previously great hotel/casino into a place that no longer care's for the small player and treats them as second class citizens. If you have one of their Gold cards you can't expect much in services or comps. I really don't like the feel of the place anymore , I've decided to give them one more shot on my December trip. If this turns out to be anything less than a pleasant experience that's it for Harrah's..Most average players don't expect free RFB but would like some consideration for their hard earned dollars and not pushed aside because they aren't Platinum or Diamond card holders. I hope they are reading these post !
Just the thoughts of an average Joe..

TONYDIGE wrote on November 26, 2008 10:25 AM: I'm not sure where all of you are from but its that worthless Colony Capital that rewined Stations. All those Wall Street & Los Angeles investors are what rewined this market. Everybody go green, and don't eat meat. The old school owners are the onew who will always fare the best in Las Vegas. They need to brink back the days of $2.00 breakfast, free rooms, and concentrating on casino profits while lettig the rest go. We need to keep our Frank Fertittas's, Bill Boyd's, and Steve Wynn's you can take your Donald Trump's and Sheldon Adelsons and dump them off Hoover Dam.
