BAK from an overnighter

Had too many AC slot dollar bonuses and offers not to squeeze in an overnighter last night. We stayed at Showboat because I had previously canceled our 2 nighter at The Borgata through an email, being too lazy to call to cancel just one of the nights.

Anywho made some new discoveries, some good, some not so good.
A couple of the Good:
Slots seemed looser at Showboat and The Borgata.
The Bortgata buffet had incredible chocolate covered pretzels on their desserts.
The Wild West Buffet has a new collection system for the earn a free buffet coupon that enabled people to go right in without waiting on the cashier line.

The Bad:
I ate way too many chocolate covered pretzels.
The Wild West earn a buffet offer is ending this month just after improving the line wait.(last year it continued in June)
Showboat wanted $20 more for a Boubon Tower upgrade, even though I had reserved a comped Premium room so they are playing games like Ballys. Also Showboat may start charging extra for early check-ins when their one great feature was not making folks wait for a room if one is available. Guess they are getting extra business with Revel next door but they best be careful not to piss off their regular customers too much. The Summer will end and so will their reservations.

OK so Revel is starting to try to lure the higher tiered players into their casino with free parking, free slot play, comped rooms, etc. They are offering Tier 3 and 4 a whooping $50 slot play. Heck my Red label and DH's Black label each got $40 free play today at The Borgata Mystery Slot Bonus and we do not have to earn $500 comp dollars to get a free room!!! Plus The Borgata charges $5 in room taxes/fees to Revel's $35! Thanks but No Thanks. The main incentive for us to keep DH Black Label is the $10 comp entry into The Borgata's buffet or Amphora Lounge. Still no incentive for us to play at Revel.
If the new casino in town wants to lure customers away from their home base, the offers have to be better than those the home base is already offering.
