Mar, 2010 The missing progressive machines did return, but the JOB is no longer 9/5 but 8/5. There is Double Bonus at 9/6, but I neglected to notice whether the straight paid 5 or only 4 so I haven't listed the game yet.
Oct, 2009 I received information that the shuttles have returned.
Oct, 2009 All 9/5 JOB and 7/5 BP are MIA as of October 6, 2009. Shuttles to Gold Coast and Orleans no longer stop here. They have moved to Torpicana. They knocked out the wall that ran from Seattle's Best to the lounge stage. There was a curtain up but I could see the VP progressives against the new north wall. My guess is though that the 7/5 bonus will not appear on these. Stay tuned. My next trip is in March. If anyone visits before then and has news, please email me at pdasarese@roadrunner.com
Feb, 2009 Shuttle Bus
A free shuttle runs from Bill's to Gold Coast then to Orleans. Also a Bill's to Gold Coast Bus runs. These run every 15-20 minutes. You may be required to show a Coast room card before boarding, but that hasn't happened recently.
Bill's to Suncoast:
Suncoast: 10am, 12noon, 245pm, 645pm, 8pm, 1045pm, 12midnight
Bill's: 11am, 1pm, 315pm, 715pm, 9pm, 1115pm, 1am.

Sep, 2008 There are now quarter progressives along the wall next to Bill's Steakhouse. Best game is 7/5 BP and the meter is very, very slow. The other games listed in the database seem to be intact for all they're worth. They have a promotion where if you are playing with your card inserted and the "Big Bang" hits, you get $10 in comp. We played the progressive slowly and got this bonus 4 times. The promotion is called "Get Banged at Bill's." I don't know how long it will run. We played there Sept. 13-15. The regular comp accumulation is terribly slow just like that progressive meter. The host who replaced Lisa Vios is Liz Hines. I spoke with her and she indicated that even though the card is still separate from TR, she might be able to do something for us. It might be worth a try if you had prior heavy play at Barbary Coast plus some play at Bill's and other HET properties.
Mar, 2008 Bill's has 8/5 JOB, but the best game I saw was 25c 7/5 BP, 25c 9/6/5 DB and 50s 9/6/5 DB PROG. Lisa Vios is no longer there.
Mar, 2008 Bill's has (12) 25c/50c/$1 9/5 JOB and 7/5 BP along the wall that faces the garage elevators and a couple more to the right of them.
