I spent last sunday thru wednesday at the Atlantis up on the 23rd floor in the concierge tower. This room was comped -2 nights for free 1 night against my points-as I wanted to stay a third night. The rooms are nice a little larger than the regular rooms. The best part I like about their set up is that the concierge rooms are limited access floors. The lounge has a continental breakfast in the morning and hordureves(sorry for spelling)and a cash bar up on the 25th floor. The bar used to be free but there was some abuse of the free booze and apperantly someone tried to beat the bartender up for cutting them off.
As far as gambling-- I took $3000 to play with and came home with $4200. I mostly played black jack at $25 per hand. Winnings from blackjack totaled $800 while the other $1200 came from quarter wheel of fortune machines.
I only ate at the hotel restraunts 3 times under comps and took other meals out. Claim Jumpers was pretty good. Also Liberty Belle Saloon.
I talked with my casino host both on sunday and when i checked out wednesday and found that the play I had done on the Slot machines alone, totaled 33 hours-enough to give me another comped night up in the tower. The blackjack sheets had not been tallied, but he told me that they figure amount of play based on 20 hands per hour average. So he tells me I have a rough estimate of $500 dollars play per hour and I figure I played 24 hours. Any way before that is put in I could eat at the stakhouse-dinner for 2 for the next 30 days.
