I am planning to stay at the Gold Coast at the end of May. I plan on
playing quite a bit of FPDW during my stay. I realize that they offer
cash back OR comps, but I'm interested in finding out about
discretionary comps. Can I get one at the slot club booth? Or do I
have to talk to a host? Can anyone give me any advice on how to have
my cake and eat it too?
My only prior comp experience is with the big-ass strip casinos.
Thanks!

Gold Coast comps
I recently stayed there for the first time although I had some play
with them over the years. I was on a two day offer which included a
$50 food credit with two additional days at casino rate. On play of
7k - 8k I recieved enough dicretionary comps for coffee shop and
buffett meals that I did not pay for any food. The casino rate nights
were picked up also. My only charge was a few phone calls.
I mostly talked with host Nicole Labelle as she was the one who made
my reservation but also talked with host Cam Burke when Nicole was
out. I had introduced myself to Nicole on a previous trip. There is a
third host whose name I don't recall. I also had a discretionary comp
written by a shift manager when none of the hosts were on duty.
I'm not clear from your note if have talked with a host concerning
your May room rate or if you have an offer. Anyway, I suggest you
speak with a host before doing anything. Tell them how much you
expect to play and ask what they can do.
I also am planning to go back in late May also. I hope deuces are
still available by then.

Thanks for the info. No, I haven't talked to anyone at the Gold Coast
yet, but I will do that as soon as I make my plane reservations. Did
you charge your meals to your room, or did you have to talk to the
host before each comp?
Thanks again,
Sarah

The GC hosts say they will not cover meals charged to rooms. Their
Marketing Manager forbids it. Other Coast properties operate
differently so it is always a good idea to ask the hosts what they
prefer.

Don,
Try the Barbary Coast. They're extremely
accomodating.
