On my most recent trip to the Hilton 2 weeks ago, I was told that the comp
dollars that you earn while playing that are shown when
you insert your card are about half of the comp dollars that you are
eligible for. Your slot host is able to give you a similar amount.
i.e. get yourself a slot host and have him/her review your charges before
you check out, and see what you can get.>>>
In general, it's a good idea to get a host at properties where you play
frequently.
I have a bad habit of making reservations at the last minute & that's one of
the situations where hosts come in handy. When obtaining reservations
through normal channels doesn't work, there's a block of rooms that are reserved
for hosts to use for last-minute guests. Although their discretionary powers
have been downgraded in many casinos, they still have the ability to make life
easier in many ways such as not forcing you to jump through all the hoops
when using offers or getting you the best available seats at a show. Once when I
was having a haircut at home, my barber told me about a trip to Las Vegas
that he was taking & he couldn't get tickets to see Tom Jones which was to be
the high point of their anniversary trip. Long story short, my host got the
tickets & they were comped. I haven't paid for a haircut in a year.
