Man, this board has been very quiet the last 2 to 3 weeks.
Just noted online my offers from the Beau for December. I will have $30 freeplay for each week. This is the first time the freeplay is being offered to me weekly vs twice a month. My "twice a month" offers were very genenous even though I played for only about 5 hours a trip. I had no freeplay in October unless I collected 400 points first for $90.
As anyone experienced this "one drink per 20 minutes" policy which I ran into twice at the IP this past weekend. One was at the 2nd floor VP bar and the other was on the first floor casino. If you drink beer, there isn't an issue but if you have those small mixed drinks, they seem to disappear real fast. It appears that 90% of the servers did not really enforce this rule. I have heard of it to stop the locals from drinking and not playing but this was the first time I was denied a drink because 20 minutes had not passed. It was not a big deal, I just changed areas and had no further problems.
Coming back on the plane, a few people was saying the slots at the Grand were hitting. No one was hitting at the Beau on the whole and a couple said the Hard Rock was also hitting. Nothing big at the IP but the money seem to last at times.

what idiot, who is out of a
drink, sitting in a free drink environment, enjoying one of his favorite pastimes, would voluntarily put himself on a time sked 
for his next drink.. 
Come to think of it, it sorta sounds like my house..
How would a server enforce this rule? What are you supposed to do...say to the cocktail server.."Excuse me Honey, but stand right
here..I'm at the 19 minute mark and counting"..
