Posted on: Hooters reports loss, says Chapter 11 possible

I was there the second night it opened. I was playing on one of the penny machines and hit a jackpot! Now I have been a BIG fan of Hooters since '83 and call me guilty, but love the whole concept. Now will a hotel/casino survive with the concept...I thought it would in Vegas...Call me an idiot. I even bought stock in Hooters. Ok now back to my experience. You can laugh now and later.

After waiting over an hour, I finally had someone come over to "view" the machine. By now, I had quite an audience, we were all making quite a scene. The tech told me that there was something wrong with the machine and that I indeed had not won, even though it showed on the machine that I had and that I had "witnesses to the fact. His supervisors and other suits came over to "witness" the machine. I had someone take a picture of the machine for me. I spoke to management on duty as well. My big jackpot reward was dinner at Marino's Restuarant (really not that good for the price and even worse for free. Never went back after all the time I lived in Vegas 4 years in time). Was give $100 in free play (Had over $5K in winnings on the machine!)on my Hooter's Card! and some player points. And eventually given more free food to eat at Hooters' Restuarant after futher complaints to Hooters' main office. Was told that they were having "problems" with the machines during the Opening.

So if this is just a tip of what they did/do for customer service...they will not be missed by me and that they get what they deserved. At least the local Vegas girls were friendly!

Posted on: Government help can’t come too soon for 89131 families

Let me first say that I feel sorry for all of those families that live in the area! But I too lived not too far away from this area and I too saw this type of actions happening before I left Vegas. It is sad to see neighborhoods go down so quickly. Good luck Vegas! I do wish you luck, you have/had some great neighborhoods.
