It usually depends where your playing. 25 a hand at Bellagio isn't going to get you nearly as much attention as 25 a hand at say Riveria or Circus Circus. If you have a players card always use it and don't be afraid to ask for meals, line passes, whatever if you think you have played enough to earn it. The worst they can do is say no. And then you can always take your business elsewhere.

CrusCrnshw: I have been comped everything (fight tickets, limo, room, food & beverage) except a plane flight. The closest i've been 2 comped air fair is some called a "fly back voucher" where if I go out 2 vegas, on my next trip they will fly me back. Never took advantange of it yet though............

Good early morning. Had an early night last night. Dinner at sensi was aweaome. Sensi is located in the Bellagio for those of you that are not aware. We had lobster tacos for an app. I had the ribeye, it was outstanding, my wife had chicke francais, also outstanding. After dinner we had hot doughnuts, I know that does not sound like much, but they came with hot chocolate/peanut butter sauce yum. I can not believe the Brewers came back to win that game. Sportsbook record 1-1 +$190. Played Carribean stud and b.j. Stud was fun got dealt a full house which with the $1 bonus paid about $400 with a $10 bet. Something I failed to mention which I have never seen at the Bellagio everyday allday there are at least 2 $5 b.j. tables and at least 10 $10 tables. In years past it was so hard to find that 1 $15 table hidden in the corner. Overall stud +$200 or so b.j. lost another $200. Going to travel around to some other hotels today to keep the wife happy. Tonight we are going to see KA at MGM. After the show I plan on a long night of b.j. I figure if I can play $25 + a hand for around 5 or 6 hours then wed. morning I will check my comps, hopefully some free dinners the Bellagio is top notch for food. BIg night fro sportsbook will put some plays in later.

Morrisey, set me a plate and bring me some food. I like chicken.
Gamble...do exactly what abadrumer says. Use your card..dont be afraid to ask for a meal if you are truly betting like that. Some casinos, like the wynn at the end of the triip will take off $ from your hotel bill. I didnt play ALL that much...maybe averaged close to 50 per hand for about 6ish hours over a few days and got about 90 off my bill.
Talk to a host, they will help you out.

12:30 Vegas time. CrusCrnshw please tell me why you keep saying if that is what you are really betting? I don't know about the rest of you , but I did not fly 5 hours to bet $10 b.j. As far as the players card this is my 9th straight year coming to Vegas,I used to check daily to see what I had earned, and now I know to wait a couple of days to let the points accumulate, as far as being nervous why would anyone be nervous, they don't say no they tell you what you need to average per bet and for how long you need to play, again been there done that. I have been using tis Covers site for many years, I know I don't have a million posts, but I like using all the good info/stats provided. Yes there are many that come on here lying about how much they wager and so on. I am just trying to give everyone a real first hand look at my trip to Vegas, and YES these are actual amounts. On to today, walked over the strip to the Paris, played a little video keno with the wife. Lost about $40 in that machine. Went next door to Planet Hollywood, have not been there since it changed from the Aladin. They did a very nice job, my wife really liked the mile long mall. Played b.j. as my wife watched for about half an hour. Finally up after a session +$150!! Well it's a start. Off to the Bellagio pool for a couple of hours, then to the sportsbook to place tonights wagers, looks like a real full slate tonight. Won't be able to watch any games as we have show (KA) and dinner reservations at Le Cirque.

Morissey- Crus was talking to Gamble04 when he said "if you are truly betting like that." He was just trying to help Gamble out because he didn't know how the comps work. He is enjoying your in game on this trip just like the rest of us are. Keep going, Bro.

Trip sounds great so far. Did you get a chance to see how early you had to get to the pool for a spot? Last thing, how much were they charging for the cabana's? Look forward to your next post. Are you going downtown?

What casinos do you have cards with?
I use Harrah's. Had 0 pts on my card. Usually get 2 comped weeknights every month at Flamingo, IP, or Harrahs. Economy so bad I just got 5 nights comped and $43 for the Saturday at Flamingo. Booked it online.

Just finally decided to look inside the Vegas forum for alittle update, and here I see close to 40 posts already. I'm missing out on all the fun! Sounds like you're on your way to getting some of my money back. Was it worth the wait...then the delay? Haha. Sounds like you're having a good time!
Keep the updates rollin, but don't get too caught up in posting. I recap when you get back to reality is alright too!

It has been my experience that the Harrah's properties are alot easier than the MGM ones to get comped free rooms. We live about 45 minutes from Detroit which has a MGM Grand casino and Casears across the river in Canada which has is a Harrahs property. I gave them equal play for about a six month stretch a while back and offers rolled in from Harrahs and didn't get squat from MGM. Spent several free nights in Windsor and stay at Flamingo in L.V. was comped last year. I get mailers from MGM but not even close to what Harrahs offers. I'm not stumping for Harrah's, I'm just saying maybe they are a little more liberal with the comps. Others may have had different experiences.

Good morning. Today is our last full day in Veags. Time to start uping the ante. My wife has the pool/spa planed for today, so that leaves me home free to hopefully go on a massive run. We went to see KA last night at the MGM, it was a really great show. I bought the tickets a couples of months ago, and got screwed. Right now for all of the big shows in Vegas you can buy 1 ticket and bring a friend for $25. I spent $350 for my 2 tickets, but again it is vacation no time to be cheap. Again the show was really great, still like O the best. Dinner at Le Cirque was top notch, this place is ***** star all the way. It is also ***** star price wise. The total bill for the night with a couple saphire and tonics was $265 with tip. My wife is now thrilled with her trip as she has seen a show, had an awesome dinner and today will get some spa treatments. This means I am home free to GAMBLE my ass off while having no guilt. JTROPE you need to get to the pool around 9:30 to have your pick of chairs. On day 1 we went at 11:00 and had to look around, but we still found 2 chairs together, so no big deal. The cabanas are expensive at the Bellagio, but that is so simple to get a comp for I checked my status yesterday morning and that was one of the first things he mentioned to me. JTROPE, even if you are not a pool guy the eye candy at the Bellagio is sick.

Thanks Morrissey for that info. My in-laws are pretty high rollers so that should be no problem considering there staying for a week and there food and room is already comped before they even started playing. I'm staying at Paris because they always comp well. I firmly believe that harras properties comp the best! I never pay for rooms and play 10-15 dollar black jack for 5-6 hours a day. Infact i go to march maddness every year with a group of guy's and get 4 rooms. This up coming march we were already comped deluxe executive suites for 5 day's. These are big rooms with private wet bars in every room completely free. BIGGEST TIP FOR YOU BLACKJACK PLAYERS LOOKING FOR YOUR COMPS TO ADD UP, if you hit a little cold streak and don't want to leave the table, just tell them your going to use the restroom and take a small break, come back in 10 minutes. Your comps still keep going and you'll come back refreshed and ready to kick ass. The best thing is now you have made your bank roll last a little longer and you've generated more comp points and you weren't even playing. Been doing it for years and the endless free rooms keep coming!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK on your last day Morrissey i'm down to 49 day's

Well spent 6 of the last 8 hours spinning my wheels at b.j. I end up down $125 for this session. I spent a couple of hours playing craps and 3 card poker, also to a lose of about $100 or so. The last night is def. an all nighter, so the night is still very young and the bank roll is still pretty close to what I came with - food etc... I have just found a great seat in the sportsbook where I will spend the next few hours with my good friend Saphire and his buddy tonic. Here are the plays for tonight.
Marlins $200 to win $314.
Phillies $258 to win $200
*** Yankees over 11 $690 to win $600***
It's going to be a looooong night!!
