Archie, When I went to Harrah's in New Orleans this past weekend, I signed up for their slot card so I could get some cheap, plastic beads for my grandbaby. I asked the employee at the desk if I could get their blank platinum & diamond cards for my collection. I was told NO because all you had to do was to flash either of these cards for free parking or the free buffet. I guess their are perks for high rollers. I parked in the garage, & got my ticket validated by one of the pit bosses after playing 2 hands of black jack which I won. I had a stack of chips in front of me & also asked for 2 comps for their restaurant which I was given without a fuss. I immediately left the table & tried to find Chris Block. I really wanted the cards, but there seems to be a few ways to skin a cat!
