@@lucerorodriguez3049 Only reason I play the card is if I hit an unlikely hand pay. Then I will have a win/lost statement from the casino at tax time to offset my winnings.
I remember real comps flowing like wine when I started going to Vegas in the early 90's. Now, not so much and the BS resort fees along with charging for valet has killed most trips to Vegas for me. If I do go it's with Airbnb at The Palms and Uber. Wayne Newton's back. Get your tickets early.
For MLife, they comp my room and all fees. I don't know if it's because it's a suite or for all. We haven't paid for room, food, and shows in several years. We sometimes get limo rides to and from the airport. We typically get the Tower Suite (Sky Suites once) at Aria, or the 2-bedroom suite at MGM Grand/Mandalay, or equivalent. Eat about $200 worth of food everyday, and get a show near front/center. We are Platinum, so line pass at buffet/restaurants/taxi lines. Valet is complimentary for Platinum or Noir. We play about $100-200 a spin on roulette and $5+ a spin on slots.
Anymore, I go to Reno. Peppermill and Atlantis have been good to me for comps. Atlantis is more of a locals casino. I stay away from downtown Reno except for maybe the Sundowner, but that's a smaller casino.
Hi, I have casino hosts in the downtown vegas area. I have an upcoming trip planned for st Patty's day weekend. I contacted 4 casinos that I play at. Two of the casinos offered to comp the 5 nights. Two didn't. It's a little bittersweet, but I'll still patronize all of them. But when I play at the ones I didn't get offers. It'd going to be oh so sweet 😋 if I take there money.. here I come
Truer words have never been spoken about playing just for comps. My buddy and I were playing at Main Street casino about 6 years ago in downtown Vegas. We usually play there because $100 can stretch for a few hours of playing time. This day we were getting killed. My buddy lost $600 & I lost $200 in less than an hour. He asked the Pit Boss about any kind of comps & they just gave us two $13.00 voucher to the buffet. We still had to shill out $1.25 of our own money to cover the all you can drink champagne that’s suppose to come with brunch.
It's all perspective. If you were gonna gamble anyway, any comp is a bonus. But it's silly to risk $100 so you can get a "free" buffet when you could've just paid $40 instead. Lol
Here's a question I've always had about comps, more specifically slot free play offers. I've heard that as far as weekly offers based on prior play, at some casinos, part of the calculation that's done on how much to offer a player is based on their distance from a casino - that is to say, if you had two players with the same amount of coin-in, and one lived 10 minutes away, and the other was coming from another state, the player living 10 minutes away might see $25 weekly free slot play, whereas the one who's traveling across state lines might see $100 on that same amount of play. If this is true (legality being set aside) would it not make sense for two people who both live near and frequent their local casino to swap player's cards? For example...John lives in Pennsylvania, and plays at the Meadows Casino, as they live five minutes away. Alice lives in Florida, and is a stone's throw from the Hard Rock. John signs up for a player's card at the Hard Rock, and gives it to Alice. Alice signs up for a player's card at the Meadows, and gets it into John's hands. Each of them play as normal, but with the player's card of the person who lives in the other state. In this case, both casinos think they have someone coming back over and over from another state to play, whereas really it's just someone who's a few minutes away - would their system not massively increase the slot play offers as an enticement? If Alice and John both communicate with one another what the offers are and when they apply, would they not make out better representing themselves as each other? (Excluding things like free room offers or anything in which ID would be required to activate, as opposed to just entering a PIN on the machine)
I don't see why not. Although technically, you can't use someone else's card, but I make a couple of extra cards and give it to my mom and she racks up points on my account. I heard that they're starting to enforce it in various ways. I don't see why they care and it'd be idiotic to upset suite-level players like me and make me look at other properties.
@@TheJackpotGents probably a video on the odds as compared to a live dealer while playing perfect basic strategy. Is card counting possible on the machine?? Payout percentages. I feel like the deal draws 20 very often.
I wish you guys would update your videos. Most of this information is from the late 20th century/very early 21st century. A lot of this info doesn't apply to the anything from the past 10 years.
El Cortez claims to have the loosest. In general, Fremont st. will be way looser than the strip properties. If you must stay near the strip, Ellis Island is a great place to play.
The best comps are free rooms and resort credit to use for food. I can live without the free slot play. Better to have free rooms where you don’t have to pay resort fees but still get to enjoy all the casino perks like pool, gym, etc
No such thing as free comps. You pay for them one way or the other. Mail offers are usually just a discount or free with a caveat. Free play is also a rouse. Most people dont just walk in, use thier free plays and then immediately leave. They know you are going to stay and either play past the free plays. get food, drinks etc. The Casino has already been paid for those comps by you, or will get thier money back off them by you staying and spending elsewhere in the casino.
Yeah casinos don't comp like they used to 15- 20 years ago she's making it sound like they are easy comps they're not one you have to spend a big chunk of money to get comped on anything before it was easy to come the buffet in the hotel but seeing that the hotels really don't have buffets in their hotels like they used to and comping a room even in the shittiest hotels doesn't happen don't get me wrong there are cops it's just you have to be at the right place at the right time they don't hand them out like she's talking like
Rivers in Schenectady NY is cheap AF!! Been playing there for 5 years and spending a lot. Never once got free anything! Asked many fellow poker players and some have the same issue. Cheap bastards!
Comps are for the whales now. You have to remember that as the economy tanks and your currency continues to be devalued, it moves the goalposts for what constitutes a “whale”. Anyone who doesn’t have a player bank with a minimum of six figures sitting in it at all times at a Vegas casino is getting the same garbage comps as the gray haired grannies who gamble away their retirement 8 hours per day playing micro stakes on slots. If you want the real comps, the casino has to know that your typical session involves swings AT LEAST in the five figures.... however seeing how little the USD is worth now and considering we are talking about Vegas as opposed to local tribal joints, your typical session swings probably need to be closer to the six figure mark MINIMUM to be considered a “whale” anymore. So basically, if you were a “high roller” compared to 90% of the rest of casino patrons even 10-15 years ago and you were consistently putting tens of thousands at risk per session, even those players aren’t getting much as far as comps anymore. Vegas casinos strictly target whales now for any REAL comps. Vegas casinos will do absolutely anything now to get whales coming in. They even offer some of the biggest whales six figure amounts of free play (knowing they are likely to lose it in about an hour give or take and then drop another six figures of their own money shortly after). They also are willing to negotiate the terms of whale stakes table game rules for professional gamblers who feel they have a system where a few rule twerks will give them the edge to turn a nice profit. If you aren’t a whale now, you are absolutely nameless and faceless in the eyes of casinos.
It’s all a game too. If you were willing to play 50K. Everything should have been comp through the Casino Via a host. If I was going to put up 50K of play action I would wired 25K to a casino I’m staying and another to a casino I would like to play at. When you buy in at a table game you will have a host approach you trying to get you to eat, sleep, and play at their casino fully comp. The one that you are not staying at will not to entice you move and play at their casino and take all the action for the chance to take your 50K or if you win give you an experience to come back and give the casino a chance to win what you made from them back.
You're joking aren't you? How many Casino's are still sending out offers in the mail. Dingo is always using his smart phone to cash in on comps, not once has he shown a voucher he received in the mail. Mail is time consuming and expensive.
I get offers from my home casino ALL THE FKIN TIME! Just got back from a weekend with my wife and collectively we had over $600 in free play. Granted all of it can be looked up on the app but it also came in the mail.
