Please help me understand the logic behind comp rooms

I'm a total noob when it comes to comps.

I was in vegas a few months ago and stayed in the Palazzo. Since then, I've been getting 3 day comp offers for Tu-Thu events pretty about every other week. I don't recall how much I played there (yes, that's a problem ). I think I broke even, or was down maybe $200.

During that same trip, I was up about $900 at various MGM properties. So far, I've gotten one comp offer from them.


I'm trying to figure out why the Palazzo is throwing so many offers my way. I'm not likely to lose enough to cover a 3 day hotel stay. While at MGM, you'd think they'd love to get me back in there to get some of their money back

Is this normal? Or did I probably lose more at the Palazzo than I give myself credit for? With the economy in the current sub-optimal state, I would expect to see more comp offers, or at least good discounts on the MGM properties.
