Boyd/Borgata/MGM Mirage cross marketing

#1

"I like staying on the strip and I am willing to pay for it. Thats justme. I figure on moving some of my AC play to The Borgata to get more onBoyd's radar for EP offers when it opens. Once again playing for compswhich is bad but it's part of the game."

To my knowledge, Boyd and MGM Mirage have not done any cross marketing with their Las Vegas properties based on play at the Borgata. (You can use Borgata comp dollars but who has a lot of those?)

Do you know someone who has gotten decent Las Vegas offers based on play at the Borgata?

I did something about 2 years ago. I prefer downtown so I e-mailed
Main Street Station & told them I played at the Borgata. They asked
for my card # & offered me 4 days upfront based on the info. they
got.
I also get a MGM entertainment schedule in the mail every 3 months or
so from someone in AC. I wanted to see Love so I called. I had to use
my Borgata comp$ for the show but they hooked me up with a 3 night
stay at Mirage based on my Borgata play. I called about 6 months
later for another show & they seemed upset that I already booked my
room thru a marketing offer. They told me next time contact them even
for a marketing offer. I just threw out the latest schedule so I
don't have the telephone#. Maybe someone else can list it for you. I
now get plenty of offers from MGM, NYNY, Mirage & MSS. --- In

Several people including myself have gotten cross marketing while
others have not. From my observations I think 3 things have to happen.

1) Have a Card for the Borgata and a Boyd property.
1a) Both must have the same information [name/address/etc](this is a
guess)

2)Give the LV prop some small play so they know you exist.

3)Give the Borgata measurably more play then the LV prop.

After that you seem to get offers. As I said this is from a small
group that I have observed. It could also just be random trying to get
people to LV based on money spent at the Borgata. #s 2 and 3 are a
guess #1 seems to be necessary. I didn't get squat from the Stardust
till 2004 when I got a card from the Borgata.

When the Borgata opened I received room offers there based on my play
at the Freemont. I'm not a high roller by any means.
