Care to give us an idea of what spend you think is required to be high roller in the eyes of the casinos? I'm curious.

Point taken re: GS - ^

What spend do I think...I can tell you that where I am, we have an unpublished top tier not unlike UA that reportedly takes $100-150K play/year.

Tables take much more play to get the house's attention than do slots. Poker play is great for building up comps, and will result in status from the comp points, not because casino hosts go after poker players.

I have heard from players in my place who have gone to the riverboats around the US that sustained play of $100/hand gets them RFB. Those properties have an understandably lower threshold due to the smaller volume of big players.
