Sheraton Hotel comp - Tunica

[MicroBob]

Lots of talk about getting the poker room-rate at the Gold Strike or Horseshoe.

For those looking for bargains I share my recent experience.


Month ago or so we head over to the Sheraton to play some blackjack. When I go to Tunica with the GF I play almost no poker. We just go to drink, make fun of people, play some blackjack., have fun with the dealers, etc.


Anyway...sign-up for the Sheraton players' card.
Couple weeks later I get some coupons in the mail...inclu
ding one for a free night in the hotel there (Mon-Thu).
following week I get a coupon for a night in the 'jacuzzi suite' for only $39.

GF and I decide to go for the jacuzzi.


Anyway - when we get there we learn that all of their rooms are jacuzzi suites and are exactly the same.
Would you like to use the coupon for the free room instead?
Um....yeah...if they're all the same then I think free is better than $39.


In short...the rooms were really quite nice.
They would be a bargain at $39 and obviously for free it's pretty darn good.
I would rate the rooms as being nicer than the regular gold Strike rooms (never stayed in a suite at Gold Strike though).


If you ever have plans on heading to Tunica on a Sun-Thurs then I highly recommend heading over to the Sheraton and signing-up for a players' card and taking advantage of the coupons for the free/discount jacuzzi-suite rooms you are likely to receive.

They're really nice rooms...and you aren't obligated to play 5 or 6 hours in one room when you might prefer to be somewhere else.



As for the trip:
finished up about $50 playing blackjack (I card-count...but am not too diligent about it...so I'm probably break-even to barely +EV), drank A LOT, enjoyed the jacuzzi, went back out and drank some more, probably breathed-in about 5 cigarettes worth of 2nd-hand smoke, made fun of the guy in the late-night band at the Horseshoe with the really long hair (especially when he was rocking-out to Led Zep) and generally had a terrific time.

GF and I will almost be definitely be staying at the Sheraton again...whether it's free or $39. (I think they're regularly priced $99 on weekdays...no idea how much on weekends).
