Amazing Living Social Deal at the Plaza Hotel & Casino Downtown
Living Social $149 for $300 slot credits, 4 shows, $25 daily breakfast credit, and free massage!
You and a co-star will spend two nights at the Plaza Hotel & Casino, Sundays through Thursdays ($149) or Fridays and Saturdays ($289). You'll receive four live show tickets, $300 in slot play, one in-room massage, and a daily $25 breakfast credit at Island Sushi & Hawaiian Grill.
Must use by Dec 27, 2012. Blackout dates April 16-19, June 8-10, July 5-7, Sept 14-15, Oct 29-31. Refundable within 30 days if you change your mind through LivingSocial. You can upgrade your room at check-in for whatever the cost difference would be -- if you like a room with an awesome view I'll recommend the Fremont View rooms, as the location of the hotel is directly at the end of the Fremont St Experience, and shouldn't be more than $20.
Assuming the $300 slot credits are good for any machine, the expected value of the slot credits are about $250 - $270 assuming house edge of 10-15%. This alone makes everything worthwhile. However, people are still trying to figure out if the slot credits are good for any machine. I just bought a voucher anyways, since I have 30 days for full refund. If the deal sucks more than it does, i'll just refund.

Incredible deal! Bought 1 for me and 1 for the wife just for the slots credits and massages! Just gotta see if these are those crappy promotional slot plays they have at hooters and casino royale. Anyways, i have 30 days to cancel so I'm sure we'll know before the dates are up.
Btw, does anyone know if i can buy more than 1? Like if i buy 2, would i have $600 worth of credits?

Not legit?
According to the Plaza's facebook page, the $300 in slot play is for the Casino Royale.
Plaza seems to be having a lot of problems with the offer; apparently the promoter didn't really know what they are doing and didn't notify the Plaza that it was going to happen.
Also, the show tickets seem to be for a show that has already closed without paying its cast and crew.
Classy! Seems reminiscent of a Bob Stupak's Vegas World VIP package.
