Thanks to all the people that have posted information about earning
room offers on the Strip. Most posts say something like "Play $10K
in a day to get..." - how do you track your "coin" in since normally
you are just inserting a bill or ticket and play until you lose it or
cash out? Is this an estimate based on how many hands one normally
plays per hour, or is there a more scientific way to track it?
Something to do with the points earned on the cards maybe?

Howard had it right - best way is to track it through the points
that you earn through your Player's Club card.
Another way is to track how many hands you do and then multiply it
by the amount of $ that you bet with each hand. One way of doing
this is by keeping a counter in your left hand while playing the
machine with your right; or vice versa.

A Hosts two sense...
Hi SL,
I wanted to give you my thoughts as an Independent
Casino Host. I can't speak for all casinos, but I can
give you my two sense based on my knowledge I've
gained from working with casinos from 5 of the major
conglomerates.
The folks here are very knowledgeable on the comps
they each receive individually. A couple of things I
have not seen mentioned, that you may want to
consider:
- Region - where you're looking to get a comp room
-Naturally the casinos in regional areas will be more
aggressive w/ room comps than casinos in destinations
EX. Laughlin, Reno, or Lake Charles (drive to
markets) VS. Las Vegas, AC, and Tahoe (Destinations)
- Hotel Occupancy - hotel occupancy drives room rates.
The closer to 100% full the hotel is , the more play
required for a casino rate or room comp. Naturally
weekends are more full than weekdays, convention times
are busier than some of the December holidays (in
Vegas) -
- Room comps can be event driven - if a marketing
department at a casino has an event scheduled w/ rooms
held from the hotel block - that event will become
priority. Really popular event - higher play
requirements for comp rooms. An event that the casino
is having trouble filling, can lead to lower
requirements for a comp'd room, so they can fill up
the event.
Hope that helps..
