Holiday bonus

#1

Last year was $250 and $150 but because of the snow, they extended the $250 a
week and you were able to use both at the same time. I remember spending the
$400 on gifts. This year they lowered the second amt to $100.

I think as someone mentioned, the gas cards may be linked to the distance
traveled. I'm not sure if you are local in CT but I'm coming from MA.

Slot tournaments invites seem to be inconsistent. I received an invite and
attended in Sept and Oct. I did not receive anything in Nov and haven't received
anything for Dec.

For concerts, I get invites to most events but on several occasions when I
called they were already booked. I've also been told that a separate per trip
theo may be used for certain big name acts. Now I e-mail my host when the event
gets posted to the web site. This has worked in almost all cases.

usually receive almost all of the show offers. Unforunately I am
unable to attend most of them. Last year I got an invitation to the
New Years Eve event..with Bette Midler but did not attend. Did not
receive anything for this New Years Eve..Yet, or if there is even
going to be anything. I also have read that some of you have received
gas cards ... I have never received one of those. I find it
interesting how the offers vary.

Awhile ago I use to play at Treasure Island in Vegas because they had $1 96,
offered .66% cash back and an equal amount in comps. I always got my room
and meals (in good restaurants) comped. I felt that I had little motivation
to move to the $2 or $5 machines. Why risk the money if I was having fun,
making a few bucks and getting comps.

I feel the same way about Mohegan. I primarily play dollars and rack up
enough comps to keep me happy. Based on the posts I read, the MS comp
system is so inconsistent that I'm not sure I would benefit by giving them
more action. Would I get substantially better comps? Better invites? Better
tourney play? Not sure.

Of course if everyone acts the way I do then MS may go the way of Treasure
Island and cut the comps and the number of good plays. But then I haven't
been to TI in a few years so maybe not.
