Well, since you asked for opinions, I'll give you my policy.
I will not play a penny or cash any coupon in any casino where I care about
my comp levels unless I am staying there..
I will not play 1 minute past midnight on the last day of my stay at any
casino where I care about my comp levels.

I find that these policies have worked well for me. I leave my casual play
for casinos that do not mail me good comp offers.>>>

I agree with you about not playing past midnight but I'm confused about your
first statement.

Your original post which started this thread said "When I went to cash in
my cash
coupon they did not ask for proof of staying at the casino." From that
statement I assumed that you cashed your coupon without staying there. To make
everything logically fit, I have to assume that LVH is not a place where you
care about your comp levels?

Not trying to be a smart---. Looking for guidance & wondering what you
really did.

I differ from you in one respect. I will cash coupons in places where I care
about comp levels without staying there but will also provide the play to
maintain those levels. In the case of LVH, I wasn't sure what to do as I booked
the stay without thinking much about the ramifications.

I did stay and play at the Hilton, it has become one of my top Hotels. What I reported is that when cashing the coupon, they did not ask if I was staying there.
Regarding staying and playing, if I am going to go to a Casino and give them my usual level of play for comps/tracking, that means a full day of play.
If I am going to play for a full day, I may as well stay there and get my free room and meals.
This of course is my method of play, and you are correct in stating that as long as you give the Casino your regular rate of play staying there is not a requirement.

Regards
A.P.

I feel the same as you do Albert. I work hard at establishing myself at a
casino and don't want to take any (even a small one) chance at screwing it
up as long as I still want to continue staying and playing there.
