Locals get the same crapola from the Strip joints. A tourist who does, say,
$10,000/day+ at a place like T.I. gets all sorts of goodies in the mail. A
local? Generally nada. That's why locals mostly play at locals places.
These casinos employ real rocket scientists as their marketing wizzes, don't
they?

I have played regularly at the Palms for the last 2 years. Much of the time
is spent on dollar VP machines, particularly double bonus. My points
approximated 100,000 this year as I qualified for the "second tier" card which
gives me a whopping $5 off the buffet and other worthless perks.
I have received a total of one mailer from the Palms, offering a $70 room
rate and no free play. In fact I have never received any free play or other
offers. (in 2 years)
I frequently read that most players received free play from the Palms, who I
assume play at this level. When I inquired as to the reason why I was told,
"oh your not local. We only sent mailers and free play to locals". I
replied that I thought our money was the same and I visit the palms at least 7-8
times a year, for several days each time.
Apparently they dont care and I no longer go there. Has anyone else had the
same experience?
