re: Headed to the Beau Rivage this weekend

I've done two bachelor parties at the Beau and two anniversaries spent there with my wife. Had BR Prime each time, been pleased every time. Yes it can be pricey, but I get free rooms in the Beau and usually ended up racking up enough comps to pay for my meals. My one piece of advice is if you plan on gambling a good bit, please sign up for a players card, use it at every table you go to and thank me later. Charge the meal to your room and at the end of your stay see how much you can comp off your final bill.

The Coast Nightclub is a restaurant during the day, I would hit it up probably Saturday during the day if you do some heavy drinking the night before. It's pretty solid for casual bar food, the Nachos were a life-saver last time I was there. You will most likely spend a good bit of money, unless you have good luck, and know when to walk away from the tables, so this can be a more cost-efficient lunch for you and your buddies.

Beau Rivage is best casino I have ever been to (including Vegas) about getting you drinks at the tables, use this to your advantage. My friends and I were tipping the drink girl $2-$3 each time and she would start coming every 15 minutes or so, and she even started bringing us Vegas bombs when are beers were still mostly full, (same shots were $7 each at the bar.). So don't buy shots, lol. Get in good with the drink girl and order them from her.

One last tip,
You don't get comped unless you are wagering a average of $25 a hand, which is why I usually stay on the roulette wheel for a few hours playing with $1 chips and betting $3-$10 on like 8-12 numbers per spin. I have roughly $50-$100 on the table on the table for every spin, which equals lots of comps and as long as your betting a large amount of numbers and hitting one every couple of spins you can play for hours.
