I would forget the Carson Nugget and Casino Fandango as they won't offer you really any bounceback. However, Gold Dust West in Carson will. For $5k a day: -GSR will give you $100 a month ($50 twice) and 2 nights a week. -JAN will give you $200 a month ($50 fours) and 2 nights a week. -ATL will give you $50 a month and some mid-week nights.

Well after a three day visit to Atlantis, I am happy to report that Atlantis has increased their comp rates over what they were when they converted their Comp system last October. VP Comps now appeared to be earning around .23% to .35% depending on your location in the casino. Nickle and dime games seem to earn the lower rate. Quarter games seemed to earn around .31 to .35%. I did not check the 100%+ rounder, or the quarter 10/7 DB progressive bank. The comp rate is even better if you can play on a 'Comp Multiplier' of the month. They post these dates on their website here.... Multiplier Days

only about half of the $1 DB Prog games at the Waterfall bar are 10/7; the rest are 9/7.
Bottom line... double check the payoffs.

New EZ-Comp system, where you can check how many points you have. Also, it says 100 points equals $1 however it is not clear what CI earns 1 point.

Found 8/5 Bonus Poker on the Good Times Pay machine. It's a short distance from the non-smoking area, though I don't know exactly how to classify the area.

Accommodations rate along with Peppermill as the best of Reno.
Slot club is "don't ask, won't tell".

Atlantis has Super Double Double Bonus (3/5 play) "super triple play".  It's a 99.8% payback roller coaster with a fabulous 6 coin pay schedule. Hows' these apples as found at the Atlantis: RF=4000, SF=600, 4 A/any 234 = 4000, 4 A/any JQK = 3200, 4 A= 1600, 4 234/any 234A =1600, 4 JQK/any JQKA=1600, 4 234=800, 4oak(5-K)=400, FullHouse=40, Flush=25, Straight=20, 3oak=15, Jacks+ / 2pair=5". These are a 2-sided bank of 5 on each side in the new casino area to the right of the rest rooms.. They are getting good play. There are also 6 more of them at the bottom of the escalators from the main casino to the Sky Terrace. These are a 2-sided bank of 3 on each side. All are full-pay at 25 cents and up. At 10 cents pnly they are FH=35 but they are progressive so they can be full-pay. We get $150 per month (3-MONTH MAILER) in free play as a platinum player and $50 as a Gold Elite.
