Well I was quite the numbnut on my Vegas trip. They wound up comping me $1200 and then midway through the trip another $1000 in freeplay. Food I got the $500 and about another $500 was comped off at the end. Through my losing trip, I decided to cash in some built up rewards points I had accumulated throughout the past few months so twice I cashed in 200k in points and got $1000 in free play each time. With one of those 1k's I caught a $3k 4 deuces with a 12X multiplier once on Ultimate X deuces wild, $.50 cent, 10 play game. Ratholed some of that.
I played like a maniac, and earned about 50k rewards points while losing a pretty penny in the process. Craps and Pai Gow destroyed me. I had 29 consecutive losses/ties with face up Pai Gow, a personal record I hope to never break. A couple times during that stretch I did what I call a 'stack dump' thinking it was my only way to make up for the prior losses. Of course, the 'stack dump's went straight into the dealer's tray. When I finally won a hand, it was a relatively small bet of $300/$400 and didn't feel too good.
I've got a tier score north of 500k, and I don't see much additional value as the only bonus I see at this level is Ceasars "Signature Events." and I don't see much excitement in them, but I may do one or two obligatorily. I made back a smidgen of money at the end, so that left me with a sad smile on my face, and a glimmer of hope for another trip. Although to have that minor victory, I damn near lost monies I had ratholed throughout the trip, and was determined to bring back, had that happened I would have left angry (At myself).
