I def agree that Borgata has gotten stingier with the comps. I've been a Black Card member for years, and Borgata has def changed a bit with their rating. On a daily visit, I usualy play an average of 2-3 hours of roulette with my spin total averaging $350 on the outside and another 2-4 hours of Bacarrat and/or BlackJack at an average hand of $150. I usually buyin arounk 5k, and immediately reload and press my bets I get cracked (very stupidly I may add). I also tip the dealers extremely well. However, for some odd reason on three separate trips this past year, Borgata (or essentially the pit boss) didn't put any of my action into the system for my play. This turned me off. I complained, but they said I needed to take it up that day I gambled at the casino. I feel awkward asking the pit boss/dealer to check my player average bet/time every 20 minutes to see if the casino is cheating me out of my comps.
Eventually I started going to Tropicana/Harrahs and although the casinos aren't as nice. Both properties take much better care of me. Tropicana actually surprised me with the amount of comps they offer me on top of what I earned and the show tickets. However, the only tower worth a damn at the Tropicana is the South Tower. Borgata is still the nicest casino, but when I brought up the difference in comps the pit bosses cocky reply that "Borgata doesn't need to do that, because it has all the clientele" pissed me off. I stopped gambling at Borgata about 4-5 months ago, when summer came they removed my Saturday night comped rooms at either hotel (Borgata/Water Club) unless I booked 2 months in advance. My host left for City Center in Las Vegas, and the casino never contacted me with a new host. I think I am done with Borgata other than for clubs/restaurants. In one day trip to Harrahs or Trop, I gained 25% of the points needed to get their Black Card equivalents.
Does anyone else feel the same way about the Borgata?
