I was at Flamingo last month and played for about 5 hours, combining video poker and $25/hand blackjack. I managed to rack up just over 1,000 points which gave "platinum in a day status." All of a sudden, I'm eligble for all of these comp nights when I search reservations on harrahs.com. Just out of curiosity, how does Total Rewards compare to the card that MGM Mirage offers? Is it harder to get comps/cash back through MGM Mirage because they, arguably, cater to a 'different crowd'?
