    What else do you want? I’m sure your offers will be good for future visits.

                    If you are staying there just charge everything to your room. See a host before you check out and they will comp you everything if you’re playing 1k a hand.

                    expect some sweet offers in the mail for your next visit

                      What are you into? Hookers? Blow?

                      As stated before, charge everything you can to your room, best way to get it comped.

                        Best advice was about seeing a host. I'd get one ASAP.

                            I assume they've been tracking our play. Yeah, you should get strong comps for that kind of play. In addition to room and meals, think shows, limos, might pick up your airfare, and of course future offers. What do you want?

                              Ya you should ask them for a flight home. They'll definitely send you an offer for a free ride back on your next visit plus limo transportation/room/meals.
                              Hope you're doing it at Hooters casino, then you can have all the wings you want

                                    Oh yea, forgot about the rides. Speak to a host the night before you depart and they will give you a ride to airport. Next trip, they will pick you up from airport.

                                    you’ll probably get 1k-2k free play on next trip or maybe even more

                                        Is it out of line to ask for their premium suite? I think its 2k a night.

                                        Im in a junior suite. $200 a night.

                                                  Freak them out and turn down everything but the ribs like Mahoney did. They will think you are some kind of mysterious whale then. The sky will be the limit.

                                                    On a serious note.

                                                    They will no doubt Comp everything you charge. I was at The Paris with ex my brother in law who was making some serious coin about a decade ago. He dropped 40k on the trip, Casino Host comped all our meals on the 4-day trip, our rooms, our flights out there and gave him 2,500 in comps in their shops before they left. Picked us up in Hummer Limo from McCarron too.

                                                    He of course had a casino host and visited several times a year. Get a casino host ASAP and definitely let them know you’re coming next time. You shouldn’t get reimbursed for air fair and everything else from now on.

                                                    He goes to Bellagio now but back in the day he liked the Paris because crowds weren’t as small and fewer big fish as Wynn/Bellagio, etc so they treated him pretty special.

                                                      Here's a comp: don't play 1 hand and save $1000 for whatever you want to do for tonight and tomorrow.

                                                        Sucks to hear about the shit run on tables.



                                                        You got good advice already in charging everything to your room and finding a host. Why a host hasn’t already approached you is strange. With that avg bet they get a ping to their phone or a pit sup will call them over to greet you. Are you being rated at table with the sup? That is crucial. If not, you have to talk to someone.

                                                        Casinos do not comp based on how much you win or lose. They comp based off what you theoretically should have lost based on your game of choice, avg bet size, length of play and to lesser extent, buy ins.

                                                        Another thing is the casino you are at. There are differences between every company in what they will pick up. A good rule of thumb though is 20% of your theo. Hosts have more latitude to take a shot with you if they are established. It never hurts to ask for things. Worst they can say is “no.” They will be looking to bring you back. Ask for room, meals, spa and incidentals like any atm/cash advance fees you may have picked up during stay. Airfare reimbursement is possible as well. They usually give it to you in free play though. Hosts can also throw you free play. Don’t ask for a limo if they don’t offer. Casino will take $50 in comps minimum from you for it. Use uber and get airline miles.

                                                        Your 3 day avg of approx 3hrs per day at 1k will get you rfb for this trip and another trip. You can pm me and if I know a good host at that place I will give you their name.

                                                        Hope you get some back before going home.

                                                            I've always been curious as to whether that's completely true. Will comps actually be exactly the same for same activity if you win 30k as opposed to losing 30k?

                                                                  Vegas comps are crazy. I went and played the Main Event this year and every week I've been getting offers for free room for 3 days, entry into poker/blackjack tournaments, $100/day free/match play with food comps etc.

                                                                  Pretty awesome comps. Losing $30k at blackjack will definitely get you some great offers but it may not be on this trip. They want you coming back again. They probably figure you already lost what you planned on playing with on this trip. I didn't get much when I was there for a week but now that I'm home the offers keep rolling in.
