the difference is that Cyr et al are independent hosts --- so, they can choose to provide their services (which are really their connections) to non-casino guests who desire to pay for these services. An "individual" in-town host who is ONLY a mobile phone call away is going to be infinitely more useful than any concierge service (in Vegas), IMO. And, BenjaminNicholas is the type that might be able to recommend their services to some of his friends and associates (who might become good "casino" clients).

All of the properties have some great hosts, but a casino host who works for MGM-Mirage, HET, Palms, Boyd etc. etc. is really not going to be able to work with a non-casino client; they are often just too busy with their casino clients. And, as we know, their performance is reviewed based on how well they take care of the casino clients.
