Had to change the APN settings, but that's not tough. Then I have to change back to Telus APN when I get back to Canada and put in my Telus SIM (in a Rogers phone). It works and it's cheap. Also, calls feed off the $20 data cash at $.25 a min. Not bad when you consider roaming fees. I just used an unlocked Canadian iPhone with an ATT GoPhone $20 sim.

Looks like someone in a football kit screaming and rolling around on a rug, as it happens. I guess at least hardly anyone is using this, so it's not going too much damage to the Caesars Palace brand. I've put "Vegas postcard app" on my (long) list of things I want to write when I get round to it, but in reality will probably never happen. To be honest, it probably wouldn't take much more than half an hour to do something that works better than this. Maybe I could screencast it and send to Caesars with a "giz a job" note attached...!

I hear you, my offers pretty much dried up too. Now that I have some trips planned, thought it was time to get myself back on the radar before it expires in March. I'm planning a trip in May , July, and December as well. I'm hoping I timed it well. It seems to take a few weeks before offers start popping up after some hardcore gambling sprees. The guy next to me was joking after the third royal that I was dreaming, and I should be waking up in a few minutes really pissed off. I got 7,000 tier points playing. So still have a little work to be done, but I'm pretty damn close. It was a fifty play $1 machine, so you can get there pretty much as fast as you want (if you are fearless enough to play $250 per pull). I'm not that fearless, so I started with $1,000 and playing 5 hands at a time. I want to say I only played a few hours. I think it's been a good plan, you just need to set a limit and get ready to bail on it if the variance eats you up.

Did you actually get there playing this game? How long did it take you. I'm hoping for perfect timing this year... to be in town AFTER Planet Hollywood has been integrated into Total Rewards, but BEFORE they downgrade the $1 8/5 Bonus Poker machines. I know, it's a long shot... Also my offers seem to have dried up again. I managed to book Flamingo for a week in April and nabbed the Rio for next Christmas. I'm glad I did - I can't see any COMP dates at all on the calendar now! That is awesome!

It was COMPLETELY SICK! Definitely my best game as I've only hit one before. I doubt that will ever happen again in this lifetime. On another note, apparently the poker room there doesn't care about Diamond status, you need seven star to get bumped to the top of the list, contrary to what their mailer originally said.
