Comps
Comps-The Freebie Motherlode
Comps (short for complimentary) are rewards that the casinos give to players.
You could think of it as a sort of reverse tip, a thank-you from the casino to
the player for your patronage and loyalty.
Follow these simple rules to get the comps you deserve:
1) Gamble at the casino that wants your business. If
you are a small player, don't go into Caesars and expect them to comp you a
suite for an hour of quarter slot play. If you are a low roller really
looking for bargains try the Wild Wild West,
Westward Ho, Nevada Landing, Lady
Luck, Las Vegas Club, Silverton, Gold Coast, Gold Spike, the Plaza, the Reserve,
or Fitzgeralds. Mid rollers should try
Luxor, Boardwalk Holiday Inn,
Las Vegas
Hilton, Fiesta, Arizona Charlies, Sam's Town, the Station Casinos,
Harrah's, or
the Hotel San Remo. High rollers move over to the
Venetian, Caesars, the Rio,
MGM Grand, Mirage, Bellagio, or the
Golden Nugget.
2) Join all the slot clubs. Put some play on the card. You never know
what kind of offer they will send you. It is not unheard of for players who
joined and never played to get fantastic offers in the mail.
3) Get multiple slot cards. When you join, tell the clerk that you
like to play two machines at once, so you need two cards. Then, you play with
one and let your wife, or companion, play the other. If you are a high roller,
or you both play really do play two machines at once, both of you should join
and get two cards.
4) Get to know a slot host. This is the best advise you can get to
getting the most out of your comps. A good slot host is worth their weight in
comps. Once you've found one, never let them go, introduce other gamblers to
them, don't be adverse to being nice to them or even giving them small gifts.
This can pay huge dividends. Let them know what your preferences are-food,
shows, rooms etc.
Jean Scott in her book
The Frugal Gambler,
presents an expanded, down to earth guide to comps for the Las Vegas gambler.
Regarding comps, your motto should be: Get comps for your play, don't play
for your comps. That is, make sure your play gets you counted for comps by
following a few simple rules, but don't blow $4,000 at the blackjack table to
get a $10 buffet comp.
