that depends on how much money you have to leave in the casino... :)

mandalay group has the one club. use the same card in all their resorts and casinos. you can cash in on the comps at any time. works well.

Re: VEGAS- Who has the best comps?

A way they track how much you gamble $$$ wise. Then, they give you free meals, rooms, shows etc. I'm not a huge gambler but the only way I know they do this is buy issuing you a credit type card. For example when playing slots, you insert the card during your play. The more you spend the more you get I guess. I went to Vegas last year and got a couple of free meals and shows but now they send me stuff throughout the year for slot tournaments and super disounted rooms!!!<br />This card is just a way to identify the user, I dont think the card has an actual cash value???

JB: comps are "free" like rooms, food, shows, etc. Some people put down serious play money just to get comps. They then play a little, but basicly don't lose much (if they are smart). Or genuine "high rollers" are usually comped stuff by reputation. They play big and maybe even win once in a while. Its all fun and games if money is no object. The free stuff is the come on. "New shooter coming out".

JB i know some relatives that are near retirement age, and one of their most enjoyable & often used vacation trips are to casinos on the mississippi river. they normally plan @ $200 ea spending cash, and do 2-3 night stays.<br /><br />one plays the slot machines a little, mostly strolling around during the day, the other enjoys a 3-6hr card game ea night - i think the length of time actually spent in the casino affects the amt of 'comps' because they get nearly all free meals & a heavily discounted room. i can't remember if its a 'compliment or complement' :D <br /><br />the casinos also manage the adjacent hotels, and the meals are often extravagant. <br /><br />not my cup of tea, but its what they do 5-6 times a yr. and these are some frugal folks let me tell you. close relatives.<br /><br />the only thing they like more is grandchildren & maybe fishing ;)
