The front desk can access the card reader in your room door. If you ever
lose your key they can reset the code.
Therefore, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to tell from remote when
the room was entered during a stay. If you only go in once at check in and
never re-enter subsequently, then you're either not playing or not using
the room. They won't like either of those options.
Mess up the room but don't use it? My problem with posting this suggestion
is that the casinos who monitor vpFREE can now make the necessary
adjustments. It's always a judgment call about what to post and what to privately
email. But when you go into that much detail on the internet for all to see
you've effectively lowered your chances of you or anyone else ever being
able to do this again.<<<
I don't think we need to put too fine a point on this whole issue...I was a
little bit amused about the extended efforts of the original poster to
cancel a free room. (I thought the prevailing opinion of the folks here was
"stick it to the man" when it came to the casinos.) With the room occupancy
down in Las Vegas, I'm thinking it was of little importance as to whether
that "non revenue" room got freed up or not...maybe just the opposite (it
might look better in some aspects to show the rooms full).
I'm also a little amused that somebody would think that the description of
how to make the room look "lived in" was some sort of proprietary
information that would cause the end of comped rooms. I've taken advantage of free
rooms at a prominent downtown casino many times, whether I've stayed there
or not, and I can't detect any effort of their part to see if I actually
moved into the room....they imprint your credit card in case you wreck the
place or charge anything to the room....I go down and cash in the food comps
that came with the room...everybody's happy. (Having a "spare" room
downtown when you're staying on the strip is nice...gives you a place to rest up
and clean up without the long haul back to the "other" hotel.) I may be
all wet, but isn't the casino more interested in how much play you give them
over the course of your "free room days" and less interested in whether you
actually caught any Z's in the room?
