Frequently Asked Questions about Casino Trips
How can you give back so much "casino
cashback" - sometimes more than the cost you are charging for the trip? The money you pay to us basically covers the cost of
your transportation and lodging (if an overnight trip). The
"cashback" money is provided by the casinos visited as an incentive
to get busloads of people to come there (and spend more money). Generally a
casino "greeter" gets on the bus when it arrives at the casino and
passes out casino "packages" to each person on the bus. These
packages are basically coupons for various different freebies given by the
casino involved. One of these coupons is for $$ in coin when taken to any
casino cashier. Usually it requires an equal amount to be paid by you to get
double that amount in coin (real quarters or casino dollars) back, for example
you give the cashier $10 and your coupon and get $20 in quarters back. A common
requirement is that the bus (and its passengers) stay at the casino for a
minimum number of hours (two - five hours) in order to qualify and receive
these incentive packages.
What exactly is included for my money on a
casino trip? On our trips you get
luxury transportation via fully D.O.T. inspected and certified wide-body motorcoaches
driven by trained and licenced motorcoach drivers. All of our trips carry an
experienced trip escort to insure that everything on the trip goes smoothly and
to tend to any special passenger needs. We stop at least every two hours for
"stretch and smoke". Movies and snacks are provided to help pass the
time while traveling, and tables on the bus are usually available for card
players. Overnight accommodations on our "getaway" trips are usually
right at the casino unless otherwise noted, in which case we only use
First-Class nearby facilities. Most overnight trips include breakfast, with
some including other meals too.
Why do some others offer the same trips
cheaper than you do? The old addage
"you get what you pay for" applies here. Some other companies use
older narrow body busses (cramped seating), often these busses are not D.O.T.
certified (and I have seen some buses impounded while on a trip). Most of these
cheaper trips do not have a trip escort on the bus - the driver does it all -
no movies or snacks either. Fully trained and certified motorcoach drivers cost
more - the motor coaches companies that we use will not allow someone to drive
their busses unless they have successfully completed a very comprehensive
motorcoach driver training course. Overnight rooms right at the casino cost
more - significant trip cost can be saved by staying at lesser and often
distant motels.
My group wants to set up a trip as a fund
raiser - do you do groups such as this?
Yes, we have set up special trips for many groups and clubs. Basically all that
is needed is the desire to do so and the ability to fill a bus - we do all the
rest. Call us for complete details and pricing for groups.
