After reading some of the threads here, particulary the Wynn one, it would appear that slot players (video poker
excluded) get much better treatment than table game people.
I play only penny slots (but full coin, $2.00 to $4.00 per spin.)
I stick with Harrahs (Total Rewards) and MGM-Mirage properties only.
As a Diamond Total Rewards member, I can book, via the internet (I don't like dealing with hosts, I feel I am asking for a "handout"), even on weekends, in most properties rooms as "free" (under the official promo) or "comped", either way it is $0.00 that I am paying.
In the MGM system, I get offers where the rooms (and in many cases food) are "free" upfront.
[Note: Borgata Casino in AC, is linked with the Boyd-MGM system, you can use your comp dollars to get certificates which can be used at any linked casinos--these can be used as cash--they cover tips, room charges, food etc., which oddly, tips are NOT covered with comps at Borgata.]
It seems to me that having to "beg" for something is very demeaning.
[I overheard a conversation at Monte Carlo, a man who had gambled "big bucks" at table games, was asking a slot host to comp him for charges to his room, they would cover most items, but NOT pay-per-view videos on the TV; this seems very petty. My Borgata certificates would cover this
