Super Bowl in Vegas

[yyz]

I'll be there again!

Booked my flight with miles from Southwest, and will be there from Feb 3-17.

Golf trip for the most part, with a friend from town.

I'll be there for a week or so.

Just finished booking my room(s). What a joke.

I wanted to stay at the same place for the whole 14 nights. I'm not a fan of packing multiple times for a trip. I had an offer for 3 nights and tickets to their Super Bowl party. I also had a 3 free nights and food credit. I know that you have to wait 72hrs between offers, so I told the girl I would pay for those three nights, get the next three free, and pay for the rest after that.

No. You can't do that. You actually have to LEAVE the property for those three days, then come back. How fucking stupid is that?

Won't they let you switch to one of their sister properties?

Are you a total rewards member with CET? I bet you could get comped at one of their properties if you're a member.

Just register online with you TR Card number and you can check your offers.

I can bounce all over town and have free rooms, that's not my issue. I want to stay in one place, and avoid all the hassles of packing and moving.


My point is, I am willing to give a place 14 nights of business, and they are telling me they can't do it based on what? I am using two offers for free rooms? So, if I move out for 72 hours, it's all good. I can use both offers. But, if I want to give THEM my business for those 72 hours, I can't use the other offer? Fucking ridiculous!

I think they all have a policy that's similar.

CET lets me stay 7 nights, Venetian 5 nights, then you have to leave for 72 hours and can come back on comp.

I like moving around.

so why would any casino want you to leave the premises.

Must be a law? No idea why they would want you to leave. Maybe it's a formula for giving out comps. I know they don't want the big players leaving and don't make them.

Someone explained it to me on the VMB site, and it makes sense......sort of.

He said that the casino knows my history, and my comps are based on that. They give me three free nights based on the theory that they have figured out that's how long it takes to get my gambling budget. He went on to say why would they want me there if I am not gambling? It makes a little more sense when explained like that.

Here's the rub. My normal trip is 4-5 days. This trip is 15 days. Wouldn't a smart person figure I am bringing more money than normal? Even if I don't bring more cash, I am STILL paying for the right to stay at your casino. It's not like the place is going to be at 100% capacity.

Bottom line is that they are in the business of being in business, not me. They have a line on everything. You will see a casino with table after table of no one playing because the minimums are $50-100, while the two tables that are $15 are packed to the gills. You and I would think, "Why not lower the minimums on the other tables", while the casino knows they will eventually get players at those tables, and cover their nut. (I guess)

Corporations that took it all over with the college kids making the rules and have no idea how to run a gambling operation. The mob did things the right way. :0008

searching the web...can find nothing..

very interested to know why a McDonalds wouldn't want you buying Big Mac's all day long simply because you are taking up a seat..

It's all about the comps and your history of play.

If you have a million dollar line of credit, you can stay all year.

That's what I said over there. I said that if I had a 2-for-1 coupon for Whoppers at Burger King, they wouldn't tell me I had to wait 72 hours before I ate there again, even if I was paying full price.

It's stupid.

One month away!


Who is going to be in town?

:toast:

 

[Wineguy]

We have our flights and hotel booked but it looks like we are going to have to postpone for now due to some issues with Angela's Mom. Not cancelled at this time, but would not plan on us. Once we have a better idea what is going on we can make the decision. I will keep you posted Eric.

Family first, Chuck. I hope mom gets better and you guys can make it. Maybe we can nail down the golf particulars for later in the year while we are out there? I'd really love to play with you guys down south!

Is your health a little better? I know the schedule you were on in Las Vegas was a killer.
