I found out from the Director of the Player's Club at Blue Chip that it takes $4 of play to equal 1 point. Except she said that very generally, I realize now I should have asked if that was in general or just for slots, she didn't know that I was playing VP when I asked about much it takes to get 1 point out of the system.

About 1/2 their .25 and $ machines have 9/6JB, NSUD, 9/7DB, and 9/6DDB. All their triple pay when I was there was short pay. Bring your own drinks. Cocktail service was sporadic. Valet complimentary for all.

Visited yesterday, and was very impressed. A brand-new and large (65,000 sq ft) casino with high ceilings, state of the art ventilation, a small non-smoking area and a large hotel with an indoor pool and spa. Vegas Strip feel. Restaurants include William B's Steakhouse and a very large buffet. I did not check every machine, but I found the following VP inventory, quite good for such an upscale property. 13 upright MG/MD machines to the right of the main entrance, near the rear of the casino with 8/5 BP at the quarter/ 50 cent/ $1 level. 10 upright $1 machines in the center of the casino, near the dice pit with NSUD, 9/6 JOB, 8/5 BP, 9/7 DB, 9/6 DDB. 12 upright $1 machines to the left of the main entrance in a VP world at the rear of the casino with 9/6 JOB, 8/5 BP, 9/7 DB, 9/6 DDB. 4 upright $5 machines in the high-limit slot room with NSUD, 9/6 JOB, 8/5 BP. 9/7 DB, 9/6 DDB. Cashback is in the form of e-play. New sign-ups get a voucher for a free cookie at the coffee shop. Upon earning 20 points, you can pick up a scratch card for $5, $10 or $15. You also get a coupon book, with offers good for future visits. Valet parking is free.
