Off-Strip: Sliding Into Home Plate

Just off Decatur and Blue Diamond in southwest Vegas, it's the Home Plate Bar and  Grill. We came here because of a coupon offer in the WEEKLY: Through March, if you lose $20 through one of their video poker machines, they'll pump another $20 in free play into your machine. You can choose between multi-play machines and "classic" video poker. And you won't need a player's card because you sign up for Home Plate Rewards using a thumbprint scanner, which I still think is freakishly cool. They have $500 and $1000 Royal bonuses and high hand bonuses at certain hours, too; check with them for the times.
