I'm hunting for a single casino where I can play VP with the only object to get comped for my room and food. My bankroll is limited, perhaps $3,000. Certainly I don't require an expensive room or 5-star dining! Maybe $5.98/night would be OK, as long as the dogs weren't too loud. Oh, and kibbles and bits are OK, too. In truth, as many casinos as there are in Las Vegas, I really do expect to find a single destination that I can start with, and I'd figure out improvements with time. I'd play slowly at first, but would practice a whole bunch before I go to Vegas. Game? I believe I'd like Jacks or better, or DDB... They have that at the Indian casino not far from my home.
Planned Vegas Trip
First do you have a player card anywhere? If so, contact them to see if you can get a comped room. I have found rooms easy to get for free at most places. CET is , in my opinion hard to get food comps, but you can use your reward credits to pay but they are very stingy with rc's when you play vp. I would suggest Gold Coast or Sun Coast as it is much easier getting food comped there.

The four queens downtown has a good selection of games, and easy comps. Next door is Fitzgeralds, and they are another viable option.

I second a Boyd Property...(Orleans, Sun/GoldCoast, Sams Town)

A Boyd's property for sure. The Gold Coast is the closest to the strip and has many good VP games. And if you venture downtown there are Boyd properties there to help build up your comp points. If you use your points to pay for your room it takes 1000 points per dollar. But if you use your points to pay for meals if only takes 600 per dollar. And your points don't expire for over a year
If you go online to the individual casino sites ( Gold Coast , Suncoast, SAMs town) you can see bonus days that will build up you comp reserve faster

Thanks for your reply! I spent a few days in downtown Las Vegas in October, scouting and getting player cards. I've been reading Jean Scott's book "More Frugal Gambling," especially regarding comps, rooms and food. I kind of like downtown, because rooms are cheaper and hence easier for the beginner to get rooms. Can you tell me what CET means? I'm aware Main Street Station, California and Freemont are Boyd properties, and all downtown. Aren't Gold Coast and Sun Coast also Boyd properties? In your opinion, would you say all Boyd properties are good for comps? That would simplify things. There is some sort of relationship between Boyd comps, but I can figure those things out once I've selected a single destination casino for my first VP trip.

I'd second the Four Queens for sure. I've only comped there with mailers, but call and ask for a host and see what kind of daily ci you would need. It can't be much, they and the sister property Binions both sent the wife 2 free nights WEEKENDS and $20 fp for what must have been less than $500 ci. They got your JOB in .25 and 1.00 and a .25 10/7 db prog. They also have ddb at bar with prog. It's not fancy but get a south tower room and you are out of the room and on Fremont in 2 minutes, which I like.
Sure, Boyds is a little nicer. But you are going to have to give them more play.
Don't forget the first time players promo bonus fp ar LVC/Plaza. Best promo I know of. At Plaza play it on .50 JOB right next to the Alice in Wonderland slots. Has the entertainment value of watching asian street bums fight with crackheads over $2 EV.... Bottom feeder slot wonging at it's best.
