comp

I'm a newcomer here, but sort of wanted to put my two cents in. I go to Vegas on a regular basis, and I really don't think people realize how much can be comped by major hotels and motels. I'm not a high roller by any sense of the word, but I always get a free room at any of the ones with the Rio, which would be the Flamingo, Harrahs, and quite a few others are owned by the same company. Plus you get free use of the limo service, to just go around town or to and from the airport.
I just figure why stay at the Super 8, when you can have a really nice , and I mean nice hotel on the strip or downtown.
There is a marble show coming up on the 10th of Nov which I will be attending , and staying for free at the Rio.
I think what you have to do is call the hotel you want to stay at, and ask to talk to a Casino Host, and this person is given a certain amount of rooms in which to just give away. Naturally they want people who are going to gamble and lose their money at their hotel. But I am almost certain, if someone calls and explains , or tells the casino host they are planning a trip to Vegas, and is there any chance of getting a room comped, they will do it. I may be wrong. And then the hotels all have those little cards you have to put in the machines, and you rack up credits for all the other thigs that are comped.
But the first time you go, I think the casino host just takes a chance on you being a big enough gambler to make it worth his while, and if not than you are more or less dropped from the list of people being given free anything...it's worth a try....last time I went, they gave me a Suite at the Rio, and I was by myself, it had two separate bedrooms, a dining room, two bathrooms with tvs in both bathrooms.
My Casino host and myself are on a first name basis, all I do is call and say I'm coming, and it's all arranged, a limo picks me up at the airport, and its a blast. And , like I said, I am not a high roller.
