Another use for Palms' points (XVP)...

#1

Get a food comp for any amount at the slot club. Take it to the Coffee Bean
in the Food Court. In exchange for the comp you can get a gift card, good at
any of the five Las Vegas area Coffee Beans, for the amount of the comp. Should
be a great gift for those into the fancy/blended/hot/cold/coffee/tea thing!
The stores also sell bagels (they'll toast them for you!) with cream
cheese/butter/jelly, muffins, cookies, packaged hot chocolate mixes, and of course, bags
of coffee (whole beans and ground) and tea in several varieties.

these kinds of strategies (aka selling comps) probably shouldn't be
publicized
for whatever reasons, casinos tend to take comp selling personally,
as if it's somehow morally wrong, and as a result, as soon as they
find out about them, they will shut them down as well as possibly
take action against those who have used them
just something to keep in mind

The Palms actually publicizes such a "play". Last time I was there,
in December, I used points to purchase a Palms shirt as a thank-you
to my friend who had driven us to the Detroit airport for the trip.
Granted, most casinos might react negatively to such a move, but it
was the Palm's own suggestion to redeem points in the on-site shops.
