Wouldn't it be nice if they would just come right out and tell you?
I was up there 2 weekends ago and wanted a comp for 2 to the coffee
shop; after reading the screen she gave me a look that made me think
that for some reason I did not that available. Then she talked to
someone else. I started feeling so "small". Like I had some nerve
even asking for such greatness to be bestowed upon me. After a
minute or so, she get the comp to print and when i asked if there
was a problem she just looked at me and smiled and said, absolutely
not...you can eat here every day if you want. What is the big
secrecy? The only thing I can think of that casinos do this is so
they can just take comps away from players whenever their monthly
profits are not good. No one ever knows, especially the players.

some chloroform and then leap across the booth pretending that you
are helping her. Then loudly say out loud, "I wonder what shocked
her so much that she passed out, I'll bet it's on this screen".
Carefully look at the screen noting your comp balance and other
useful information such as game type played and highest/lowest
wager. Don't worry about the other Atlantis employees they won't
even notice as they will be busy reviving their coworker.
