Hi, It's very early days for this forum so I figure a list of memberships is a good start to determining the level of interest in certain questions.

If we all list our most used, occasionally used and 'joined and may use' memberships, we can get a clearer picture of where members of the forum have an interest in news and discussion.

I'll add my list in eight hours of so, but for the moment it's a fairly clean slate. I've used MGM Players Club when in Las Vegas but wasn't betting big hands for a long time, so not enough to get close to being rated.

If there was value I might consider focusing on Crown (Australia and Macau) but I'll be more of an interested spectator on this forum, kind of like my casino wanderings.

I hope I see a few FTers with memberships of international programs!

Mr. Vker

I would love to get to Macau someday. How about a FT DO????

I use Borgata Rewards and Harrahs Total Rewards.

If I have time I'll try to get to Macau at the end of the year and have a look at a few places. It's only an outside chance, but let's see.

Today, SMH reported that Crown will delay opening its Macau City of Dreams (500 table/1400 room) casino/hotel until 1 July 2009.

Programs in order of importance/use:

1. MGM/Mirage Players' Club
2. Club Grazie (Venetian)
3. TotalRewards (HET)
4. Red Card (Wynn)
5. Club Coast (soon to become bConnected)
6. a-List (Planet Hollywood)
7. Bill's Players' Club (Bill's Gamblin' Hall, formerly Barbary Coast)
8. Winner's Club (Tropicana)
9. Passport (Ellis Island)

I've only gotten meaningful offers from the first two (probably because I'm primarily a poker player, and they don't get much by way of comps.)

Oooh, that would be fun. Haven't been to Macau but my cousin (who I'm surprised hasn't landed on one of these threads yet) has been twice and really enjoys it.

I'm contemplating a trip around this time next year - 4 night AXON award at the Conrad HK and 2 nights in both Macau and either Taipei or Kyoto depending on air award availability.

Re programs: I belong to lots of them but don't play enough for it to matter much.

I still have a soft spot for the old Barbary Coast as it was the first place I put money down (and walked out of ahead) in Las Vegas on my very first (allnighter only) trip there.
That was in the day that the Luxor was the newest, hottest destination.
I probably joined most programs along the Strip [BC->Luxor] on that trip.

I have all of those-I cannot believe there is another FT'er who has the ellis Island club card!
I also have the Cassurina club card(worthless)
Station Casino club(Red Rock,Green Valley,all the stations,Wild Wild west-for when the Ellis Island feels too chi chi )
Binions
Boyd gaming(stardust ((rip))some downtown properties

And also Terribles.

Oh come now.

1) Players Club
2) Wynn Red card


I don't bother with HET anymore as it seems like they don't like the table game player so much.

I only play slots.
(1) Harrahs Total Rewards (Diamond status gets you nice perks nationwide)
(2) MGM Payers Club, you get nice offers from most of their LV casinos (and several outside NV as well)
(3) Borgata (linked with MGM and Boyd) comp dollars can be redeemed for certificates accepted at the linked properties.

I was in Singapore on Friday and among these travels, pulled up next to the casino construction area.

I wonder if Sands is funding that new Venetian - or more likely, it's bankrolled by a SIN joint venture.

I wish the casino precinct was called SIN City... waddya think 'boudat?
SIN Rewards!
