i figured I got all my comps from my 3-4k tier credit score that's only obtained through VP. My offers were never as good when I was just playing tournaments. I'm not doubting you, just in terms of the comp hierarchy casinos obviously love table game and slot players over poker players.
I want to know how everybody gets free rooms/food in Las Vegas. (No Saloon)

#37You have to play a lot of hours at the 5/10 NL table to get a free room.
Ceasars properties have a 6 hr poker room deal, where you play for 6 hours & get a free room, with restrictions (excluding resort fee)

#39I live in jersey and go AC maybe 5-10 times per year. I just play low limit poker and BJ when i go. I have a total rewards card (harrahs, ceasars, Ballies, ect..) and get two free rooms monthly at any of those casinos in AC along with food comps, ect... I also get offers for free rooms in Vegas every month too. It's a surprise to hear that everywhere here claims its tough to get free rooms.Comment -

#42Guess I just fit the mold. Solid income late 20s male. They keep track of it online. I just go for a good time... go up and down a few hundred whenever I go down. Lost like $1500 back in 2008 playong bj.. nothing big though. I guess that got me on the list?
They flew me and my girl down to some casinos in Mississippi last summer. Didn't pay a penny. Came home up around a grand after just playing some stupid table games over the weekend.
Seems like they will just do whatever it takes to get people in their casinosComment -

#43Vegas ain't giving shit for sitting at their poker tables. No more than they give you shit for placing bets at the sportsbook.
They don't make $$ like that. For the most part....they want slot players.

#45I'm heading to vegas in july to enter that big nfl contest and was wondering the same but sitting at a table for 3-4 hours not going to happen.
So are any of those reward cards worth it for me? I'll be going to vegas once or twice over the next year, I doubt much more than that in any given year in the future but depends on some factors.Last edited by brooks85; 01-28-15, 08:44 PM.Comment -

#50You should have met up with me at Vegas when I went. She has a nice rack.
Actually, that's what made me make this thread once I heard about it. There has to be a catch if the app is free. Have you used it before and got free nights or discount nights?Comment -

Harrah's Reward Card (use when you make bets at the sportsbook)
Get an LVH Rewards Card for the sportsbook. You can't get free rooms, but basically free food as you bet. Will never pay for the buffet or food/drinks from the deli. I believe it is still the best reward based on dollars for every $100 bet as far as sportsbooks go.
Basically, sportsbooks are there as an annoyance for the casino. Get a casino host and you're going to have to play table games and slots. Casinos aren't comp'ing winners.Comment -

#53I'm with you on this JMobile. I don't see how the hell people get anything for free. I always have to plan out my Vegas trip dirt cheap top to bottom finding my own discounts.
I really don't believe in any "comp" card because most of the time... it's for the damn machines. They are all rigged for you to lose. What's the point dropping a $500 loss in a machine to get comped maybe a free steak dinner? Makes no sense.
I usually just stick with the sportsbook... typically if you can find a casino that gives you free drink comp cards for every $100 you lay... you're living large... Wagered a total of 1,200 in one day... 2 straight wagers... 12 free drink cards...Comment -

I stated it earlier. The best way to free rooms with little effort and little risk if video poker played optimally. It seems like a simple game but most people have no clue how to play. I purchased an app that tracks your play and tells you when you make mistakes. When I first bought it my play which I thought was good was only about a 78% optimum level of play. After a few days I'm able to consistently play at 98.5-99.6% efficiency. The app is video poker wizard.
Anyways like I said you can risk $10,000 at video poker on a $1 machine in a couple of hours. There is usually a max of a 5-10% deviation +/- when played correctly. The payback on good machines in Vegas are 97% and higher. Not only will you get your rooms comped but you'll never pay for a drink again a day in your life. For as small as a 25c machine you sit down at a bar max bet ($1.25 total) and you'll get comped premium drinks at most places (not Bellagio). I've put in a $20 many times and got 6-8 drinks in an hours time and cashed out $15-$25+ many many times.
Ive never taken a vegas trip since I started this type of play where I didn't get at least half my stay comped. I don't play tables or slots. Just Video poker while I'm getting my free drinks and live poker. Some tournaments. I laugh at people that pay for drinks or rooms. All of my friends do this as well.Last edited by UntilTheNDofTimE; 01-29-15, 02:15 AM.Comment -

They play very little slots, almost exclusively video poker.

And a guy told me who use to work on those slot machines... that every pull only pays out 2% rate. Like for every 100 pulls on the slot.... you might win something decent on 2 of them.. You said playing percentages with Video Poker you could be around 97% or higher? That's an amazing percentage.Comment -

#63I read what you posted earlier but I thought poker video machines were rigged as well? I thought there were different variations of video poker as well??? Just like different slot machines. For example... every time I walk by a Wheel of Fortune slot or Flammin 7's slot it always seems to hit the most. What video poker machine should I use? All I remember about video poker was Jack's or Better machine???
And a guy told me who use to work on those slot machines... that every pull only pays out 2% rate. Like for every 100 pulls on the slot.... you might win something decent on 2 of them.. You said playing percentages with Video Poker you could be around 97% or higher? That's an amazing percentage.
When playing VP you need to be aware of the pay tables. You can be playing on a machine that has a 5% hold and next to it is a machine that has a 3% hold. You determine this by the pay tables. I'm not going to layout what pay tables you should be looking for, it would take too long. You can visit Wizard of Odds if you want to research pay tables and theoretical return on certain types of VP machines. Unlike certain slot machines you will win or push on around 40% of all video poker hands you play at Deuces Wild so you don't have the typical type of droughts or variance that you experience on a typical slot machine.
I'm not going to sit here and say I've made thousands of dollars playing VP. it's not a game you'll ever get rich off. But between the low variance, the drink comps, the free rooms i get, and travel offers I receive from Total Rewards (Caesars Entertainment), I'm way way ahead. I only started to actually keep track of my play (I've been doing this around 4 years) the last two years and I'm down a few hundred dollars. And it's not like I sit there and play 10 hour sessions every time I visit a resort. I play VP to get free drinks just about every day I'm in Vegas but it's in 15-20 minute spurts. At the beginning of every year I'll go to Tahoe or Reno (I'm in NorCal) and put in a 3-4 hour sessions where i'll put about $5,000 in action and be up or down a couple hundred. This gives me a high enough tier score in the total rewards program to be able to book my comped Vegas trips. I always thought you had to be a high roller to get things comped until my poker buddies schooled me to how to stay in Vegas the entire WSOP virtually free of charge (besides resort fee's but most of my buddies that do stay all summer have higher tier cards that waive the resort fee as well). They do this by playing $25 and $100 VP machines and putting in 100k in action in a couple of hours.Last edited by UntilTheNDofTimE; 01-29-15, 12:48 PM.Comment -

#68Of course. I'm not a cheap person. My typical get free drinks trip is go to the bar, pull out a $20 and sit down. Bar tender always comes by right away and asks you what you want. My first drink is always something quick like a shot. Then I put a $5 on the counter. Bartender comes back and I order a beer. Drink that in about 10 minutes. Then he comes back over since he knows you're a tipper. I order another beer, and once I get the beer I cash out and I go about my business. 3 drinks for $5 tips might be cheap to you guys but I'm there maybe 15 minutes and it's either tap beer or a shot. It's not taking much effort. If I hit anything decent or I double my money sometimes I'll leave an extra $2-3 on my last beer.Comment -
