Yes, I was thinking the same thing.
That's always the issue when doing Vegas comparisons.
Let's see :
MO suite for $550/night (making up the figure)
Palazzo suite for $0/night
4 night stay Palazzo instead of @ MO yields $2,200 in additional bankroll to use on the Palazzo trippie. Roll that $2,200 into current bankroll, spend 4+ hours a day @ the tables and get 3-4 more free 4 night stays over the next few months.
Maybe splurge to upgrade to a
Siena Suite or
Concierge Level, you are still ahead. Befriend a concierge, develop a relationship @ Palazzo and your service levels start to improve.
Will it ever be as good as the MO, absolutely not,
But the ROI for staying @ the MO is pretty lousy, IMHO.
Problem with The Vegas, is that if you gamble conservatively (and correctly), you are often comparing $0 to $xxx for a room.
Any other (non-gaming) city, it just becomes an issue of how much more to stay at the best. A lot different to go from $350 a night to $550 a night, in comparison from $0 a night to $550 a night.
Not to mention the other big issue --- ROOM TAX! Comp rooms in Vegas = $0 tax, revenue rooms have a (IIRC) 12% hotel tax added to the room rate.
