So we all need to post as much information as we can about comps at a
particular casino - particularly if we find out some inside information about the
various levels in hidden comp accounts. This gives us a good general guide
to where we can start out. But we all need to remember YMMV - your mileage
may vary.

I would just like to share what I think is the easiest casino to figure out.
It is geared to the low roller and alot of Vegas visitors would discount the
offerings and amentities. I don't.
I like the Pioneer Hotel & Gambling Hall located on center Casino Drive in
beautiful Laughlin, Nevada. Why?
Staightfoward cash and comp totals on the Acres system slotcard. Your totals
are stated right after you name upon card insertion. There is a session
point count. Your bezel turns red if your card is not inserted properly. None of
this "Accepted" nonsense.
Your first 3000 lifetime points (single rate-$12k coin-in) earned qualify you
for "Getaway Night" room offers. This is also your first $10 in cashback.
You are now good for two nights a month Sun-Thurs forever. To stay qualified
each month or trip you need $1000 coin-in on any machine play, or $1000 in
total buy-ins playing tables. That is all.
Pioneer also has been running another comped room promo for over a year now.
Upon check-in you get a green coupon. Go register it at the slot club. You
can earn extra Getaway Nights now good anyday of the week. Put 500 points on
($2k for VP) and you get one extra night or 1000 points for two nights. You
have 48 hours to accrue points after stopping by the slot club. These extra
nights have to be used within 60 days.
You currently earn cb at 1/12% and comps at 1/4% playing VP. Double this for
slots. But there have been plenty of "3X" promos lately. No "theo" nonsense
at this time, a linear progression based playing slots or VP. Tables earn
comps at bet minimums.
Restaurants use the slot card as a debit card with a real-time comp $ update.
The Booze and Butts store let's you do increments a $10 in comps a day upon
last look.
Booking a room in painless, usually the transaction is over in 30 seconds.
They just check your play from your last trip and you are booked...no offer
needed.
You can burn banked comp $ on rooms as long as you keep a minimum balance of
$60. (Never quite understood this rule)
A monthly mailer arrives in a timely manner which lets you know about the
array of promos for that month. The website always has the calendar posted.
Department heads answer e-mails promptly.
Anyway it can't get much easier, IMO.
