Casino Resort Room And Food Deals
Casino resort room and food deals can be found using the Internet and also through tourist services located in the resort you want to visit. When you are talking to a specific hotel or motel ask them if they offer any deals for more than a one night’s stay or during the week when they are not so busy. Large resorts like Vegas will often have super specials deals listed on the Internet for those that are willing to make a reservation well in advance of their arrival date.
If you are willing to set through a pitch for a vacation club, you can get your room and some shows for free. These vacation clubs use these incentives to gain access to prospective clients.
Casinos with large room occupancies offer specials for those people who are visiting during the week and at what are considered off times. If there is no offer or no offer that is not in your alley for that matter, then ask if there is one coming up or is there one you might qualify for in the near future. Maybe you could most probably shift your visit in order to save a great deal on this necessary expense.
Holiday seasons and weekends are really difficult times to locate deals if you wait until these dates are just around the corner. The only way to get a deal for these dates is to make your reservation well in advance of these holiday seasons and weekends as well.
If you are going to have an extended stay at one of the resorts that you so choose, then you should really look into renting a furnished condo for the month or longer. If you and another couple are making a similar vacation time, this can save a great deal of money and trouble in the long haul over renting from a hotel or motel. Also you will most likely save on the room tax as these rentals are considered in a different class than hotel and motel rooms.
Private residences of these resorts are also open for longer stays as the people who own these private residences are making an effort to use their property to make a little extra hard earned cash.
If you are a Recreational Vehicle type of person or just a travel trailer owner, the places that rent to these owners are willing to make you deals for stays longer than a day or so. It will never hurt to ask anyone what they have to offer or are they willing to negotiate an arrangement with you for that matter.
All of this information is readily available for you and can be tracked down on the Internet using any good search engine of your choice. These searches that you carry out on the Internet are truly worth your while as you can get a handle on what is being offered and at what price. Most of these sites will also have a special for longer stays.
Slot Machine Evolution
So just how in the heck did slot machines go from where they started to the machines of pleasure we see today? Today, they are modern technical marvels, but in decades gone past, the slot machine was basically a simple mechanical instrument with revolving wheels-nothing fancy.
You pulled the arm and the machine took your money-thus the “one-armed bandit” label was coined. They were very primitive. Personally, I think slot machines have taken a step back. Let me explain.
For eons, the big lure of slot machines was their humongous house advantage-ouch-but their payout method. That’s right. We all love when we hit a slot machine in the paying stomach and it spits out coins nonstop. Listen to the beautiful melody as those coins shoot down the barrel and into the metallic tray below. The whole world could hear when you won-and everyone loved it.
Today, it’s so darn technical that our music and experience has been taken away. Now instead of signaling to the whole world that you’ve just scored, the slot machine calmly and silently prints out a redemption ticket. Clean, yes. Fun, no.
But let’s look more at the fun side of evolution. In the old days, you’d throw in a coin or two, the wheels would spin and some money would pop out if you were lucky. Many got tired of this mundane play and let the slot world. Ah, but that’s all gone now.
Slot machines are now mini video game systems. They have bonuses, side games, moving parts and more. My favorite has to be the Wheel of Fortune. I also loved Reel Em In, which was the first slot machine of its kind.
Walk into any casino (or go online) and gone are the simple 777 slot machine (mostly). Now you’ll find branded video games. They got slot machines for CSI, Adam’s Family, Wheel of Fortune, Deal or No Deal, James Bond, Playboy and anything else you can dream up. In fact, there’s a convention annually that pitches new brands and ideas to casino executives. I even saw some Elvis slot machines-hey, it’s Vegas.
Virtual slot machines are the way of the future. I won’t be surprised to see full-blown video games at some juncture. We’re almost there now.
Since 2003, which is when WMS introduced the CPU-NXT with film-quality animation and high-resolution graphics, slot machines have evolved into next-generation gaming platforms. The future is bright for slot machines and slot machine players.
