Couple of questions:
1) Are these nights really free? Do you have to pay a resort fee for these free nights?
2) Can you get "free nights" by just signing up for the gambling loyalty program, but not gamble a single cent?
3) If I practice advantage gambling on Blackjack, is it possible to get "free nights" and not lose any money? I read that with practiced card counting in Blackjack, the odds are in favor of the person gambling by 1-2%, so technically it's possible not to lose. So will they still give comps if you are playing and winning?
1 - Yes they really are free. I don't recall if I had to pay the resort fee staying at the Venetian and Palazzo on a comp. Have a feeling I did....
2 - Not so sure about that..maybe someone else can help with that.
3 - Comps are based on the amount of time you play and the amount per play. Casinos like Venetian generally want 4 hours of game time per day. I could be wrong but I think the higher star hotel you go, the more amount per play they will want for a free night comp.
Hope this helps.
