    This will be the first year we ll have to pay them, i asusme they ask for it at check in and for cash?

    I guess you could pay cash at check-in, or just leave a card and pay for everything at the end as usual.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    Ferf- Have you chosen any new slots from youtube viewing to try? We are making a list!
    Walking Dead was my fave last year but that's maybe because I hit one for just over $1000 off $1.50 :)

    I haven't, no - thank you for reminding me! I became mildly addictive to those machines, I did have a good win at TI last trip...but they are feast or famine machines for me, and because of the memories of the feasts keeping me playing, they turn to famine pretty quickly.

    I was playing one last summer at Harrah's Joliet and it was a hoover and I tore myself away from it after a longer period than I should have stayed. I went a bit away and sat down at another machine I liked and was playing it when I heard some hooting and hollering and looked over and of course the woman who sat down at 'my' machine had a great feature - for $900 or something ($1.50 bet)...oh well, it happens and nothing to say I would have hit the same...then again, $600 feature...and again, $800 feature...all in the space of about 15 mins...and then I had to go somewhere else, a crowd was gathering around her and I was all :(:(:(.

    Been trying to get the 2 x lunch buffet at Aria on myvegas for passed few days.Everytime I look it says sold out...is it EVER available.:(

    Both myself and husband got it in the last week. Look up the refresh times (eg Monday to Thursday 5:20 to 5:30 was a popular time, and was when we got ours), then just before that time click on the reward and back to browsing over and over again until sold out changes to next, and then paste your details in (typing is too slow). It sound bad, but we both got Aria and MC buffets (2 that sell out quickly) at the first attempt.

    Completely agree about the Walking Dead, it really sucks it up at max $3, I found $1.50 to pay better even on bonus rounds but even so it goes quick as pays are poor. If I leave a machine I have to walk well away as that is just the worst when somebody hits "your" bonus :(

    I remember in 2014 playing Walking dead (only play max bet on slots), in goes $100 bill, got down to about $40 within minutes as machine was on takeback....
    I start losing my patience by tapping the play button fast so u don't even see the reels spin properly...
    Must have got down to $10 or so in seconds and then the Horde thing came, dished out $547, so I hit the cashout button straight after ! :D:D

    This year when we stay in the Cosmo (slots host offer), i'll be doing the $1.50 betters as I read that's an ideal bet to play for the occasional big win :)

    how do you find the refresh times? when I google I can only see comments from over a year ago.

    I am a member of the facebook group myvegasfriendsrocks, and they have the following 2 threads :

    Look at the 1 with no comments except for refresh, them just scroll backwards to see the dates.


    Fridays seem to be a bit earlier. Just looked at Friday in February and the times were 17:02, 17:20, 16:56 and 16:58.


    Weekends seem to be a later. Just looked at Saturday and Sunday in February and the times were 20:18, 22:50, 20:23, 20:31, 20:23, 20:06, 20:19 and 20:10.

    Thanks Seldom Seen Kid...just managed to get the 2x Aria Buffett reward.
    Bloody hell it goes fast...I spent 15 minutes just constantly refreshing,and the second it changed,it said there was only 3 rewards left.
    Luckily as I clicked confirm,it didn't require me to add my email address like it sometimes does.
    I would imagine there must be less than 10 seconds between re-stock and sold out on this reward.
    Collecting the 78000 gold coins is going to be easier than than actually redeeming the reward....thanks again SSK.:T

    Today myvegas rewards refreshed at 17:04, so once again ties in within a general band of time.


    $ done great again today.


    Edit : Posted at the same time, but glad you got what you wanted Brats64. It is a pain, but is doable.
