I usually bring 1k with me to play with and make it last. They look at the amount of time and the "coin-in" when you're playing the slots. One night I figured it out using the calculator on my phone, I put $20 in, kept on going up and down and played it for a couple of hours. The "coin-in" on that was almost $500.
I was actually surprised that I am still getting comps there, I haven't been to Vegas in about 3 years or any Harrahs owned property for that matter.
I like Bally's because of the central location too. I haven't been there since Paris started marketing towards the LGBT crowd, I'm interested in seeing if it's changed at all.
I'm really looking forward to DLV, I've never been and found it by accident today while searching google for trans-friendly jobs.
How many people usually show up for DLV? I might have some suggestions for things to do. I've been there over 20 times.
