If you are moving to Vegas and have a friend who can forward mail to you (a
reliable friend!) you may want to arrange that and have 2 addresses. Some
properties give better mailings for locals, some for out-of-towners. This
advice is also for people who do have 2 addresses/homes.
Generally here are a few places:
Palms - local address, unless you want free rooms
Coasts - local address, unless you want free rooms
Harrah's properties in Vegas - out of town - normally much better mailers,
but you
won't get coupons that say things like play 100 points, get $100;
these vary depending on play and are only sent to Vegas locals. Also if you are
offered a chartered airline flight to a Harrah's property, it will be from
your out-of-town address. Some air offers just are for rebates toward air,
this you can use to fly from Vegas even if you have an out-of-town address.
Venetian - local better
Las Vegas Hilton - out-of-town better - except they won't phone you for
"free show tickets for locals" offers
MGM/Mirage - out of town
Wynn - local better unless you want free rooms; right now their local Free
Credit in next month offers are great for locals (though if you play FP games
only you may not get them)
Stations - local
Terribles - either
If you do have both local and out-of-town addresses but show a Vegas ID
only, just say you own 2 houses/condos, but that your primary address is XXX
(local or out of town). If you get a W2G give them whichever address you want,
but be aware they may change your Slot Club address to that W2G address, so
change it back to whichever one you want (or ask them not to change slot
address).
Generally if you have 2 addresses, try to keep straight on which one you are
using and make sure you have a reliable/trusted person to forward mail.
Depending on where you play, you may just want to go with one address; this
is easier. For most "local type" casinos like Coasts and Stations, local
address is the best, so if you want to use 1 address, this is best.
If you want to use 2 addresses and 1 phone number, just tell anyone who asks
- this is my CELL number - avoiding awkward questions about your area code.
If you don't have a reliable friend or relative to forward mail, it is also
possible to contact a mail forwarding service of some sort. I don't know how
that works. If you are using 2 addresses, obviously it helps if your
friend/relative can also contact you via email or phone to tell you about any
time-dated offers you may receive and for them to mail you offers fairly
frequently so you can book them. You'll want to give that person some $ or envelopes
for postage.
If you do have 2 homes and move back and forth, you can always arrange to
have mail forwarded by post office or try to have someone at each end forward
mail whenever you move back and forth, which might be easier than constantly
changing addresses at the casinos (since there is always a delay for changes of
address).
