Welcome to the forum Nadine
I have quite a fond memory of your city as 6 years ago, my wife and I were coming out to Tahoe to celebrate our anniversary. I had reservations for the week at the Hilton and they called me the day before we were to leave and advised that due to a glitch in their reservations system, they did not have our room that I had reserved but they had found me a comprable room at the Eldorado Hotel & casino and since it was their error they were going to pick up the tab for our room for the week. We arrived on a Friday evening, got checked in and while waiting on my wife to get ready to go to dinner I wen down to the casino, just looking around and started playing what I thought was aTriple Diamond 50 cent slot. I had put a 20.00 bill in it to begin with and had hit it a couple of times and was up about 30.00 when I hit the jackpot. It turned out it was a Triple/Triple Diamond machine and my jackpot was worth over $3,000.00. A gentleman cam over and introduced himself as the slot Manager and inquired if I was one of their Gold club members. I explained to him that my wife and I had just checked in and were out there to celebrate our anniversary. He then told me that he thought he might be able to get our room comped for us with that jackpot. I told him about how we had ended up there and that our room was alreay taken care of. He then took me to his office, signed me up as a Gold Club member and gave me 6 comp coupons that he explained would be good for any restaurant in the Reno/Tahoe area and would cover everyhing but gratuity. Her fiurther advised that whatever restaurant we chose that I was to present this ooupon immediately upon arrival to the maitre d' and we would be immediately seatd at a good table.....What a trip to remember...And no....I did not lose any of my winnings. I only played one more time while we were there and that was at a Blackjack table. I left it after playing for about 30 minutes and winning another 10.00.
