Security filed a report and we'll see what happens. I feel bad going after the casino after being comp'd our whole stay when a simple PDR for $80 will take care of the problem..... Will probably just decline the settlement...

That's a bummer, but given the cost of body repairs on average these days I can see why they would comp the stay. The wife and I took the Z to Fort Walton for the long weekend. Had a good crowd of 65 family members this year!! I have to say I was pleased by how well the Z traveled on a 4 1/2 hour trip. Gonna step it up a bit and shoot for a 14 hour drive to northern Illinois in the spring! Hope everyone has enjoyed the Holliday!

I was already comp'd the stay BEFORE they dinged the Z.... That's why I'm hesitant to accept whatever settlement they come up with. Also, the casino manager is a good friend.

Personally, I'd be pissed.

If the casino manager is a good friend, he should understand the issue and not have a problem resolving said issue for you on his/their dime.

I'm a little pig-headed about things like this. Just because you were comp'd does not give them the right to damage your car. Two separate things IMO. :twocents:

This.







If he offered to fix it, graciously accept his offer. Thank him and let him know how much that means and that you are now much more inclined to continue to give his casino your business because of it. Those guys are pretty competitive, and if you drop a line like "I know such-and-such down the street" would never do that, it will go a long way in your relationship with the casino.
