Wild Wild West has debuted a new players club, the Wild Card. It’s similar to Stations’ Boarding Pass system, although the systems are not linked; members earn one point for every dollar played in any slot or video poker machine. Points can be redeemed for hotel and food comps at a rate of 3,000 points equals five Wild Bucks, which go pretty far in the Gambler’s Grill, especially if you use them to purchase the discounted late-night specials. Unique to this Station property, points can also be redeemed to buy gas at the on-site service station at a rate of 6,000 points equals five bucks.

I’ve received many complaints regarding one aspect of the otherwise generous Back Stage Pass system at the Hard Rock. The club pays a high cash rebate of .5% on reels and 1% on slots, which means members get one dollar cashback for every $200 played at video poker and every $100 at slots. Unfortunately, there’s no countdown information on the display, so you have no idea how many more coins are needed to earn the next point. On a quarter video poker machine that could be anywhere between 5 and 400. My recommendations: Play at one machine only; do not jump around; and while you’re there, complain to the management. Enough folks did when the Lucky Draw machines weren’t registering points and they were soon put back on the system.
