Nothing has changed. We were there today and they still have full pay AA in both 25 cent and $1. Also still present are the .25 & $1 9/6 JOB and full pay Pick'em.

Up until two weeks ago, I was averaging somewhere around 1.5 Bonus Rewards for every Base Reward earned at Harrahs. The last four times I've been the ratio has dropped dramatically - 0.9, 0.2, 0.6 and 0.3 Bonus Rewards for every Base Reward. All I play is quarter All American VP.

Harrah's is our new favorite place to play VP in the Kansas City area. Our Sept bounce back mailings included $250 in cash coupons, four free buffets, a $50 food voucher for any restaurant, some double point coupons, and other promotions. This is in addition to earned Cashback and comps from play. We ducked into the Range and used our $50 food voucher for a very nice meal -- I had rib eye steak and LL had rack of lamb. Very well prepared and tasty; this is one of the better steak houses in Kansas City. When we left around 5:30 the parking garage was full, the parking lots were full, and cars were backed up down Harrah's drive (about a half mile), back up the street, back up the exit ramp and onto the highway itself. At that point we vowed to never come to a weekend promotion at Harrah's again.

On average you get 2 Bonus Credits and 1 Base Credit for every $10 of VP coin-in (probably fewer Bonus Credits for positive VP machines). It takes 3,000 (increased

Diamond Lounges now require Photo ID to get in and usually you can only take 1 guest. Be sure to have your Diamond/Platinum cards to avoid lines for buffets (find one on the floor if you don't have a card so you can avoid long lines).
