I recently took a trip to the Peppermill in Reno. I
had never gambled there before. I played $1 VP for
about two hours and craps for about three hours (not a
big craps bettor) each day for two days and they
comped everything for me, including room, steakhouse
dinner, and two other meals for my two friends and me.
Plus, they insinuated that I could get more if I
wanted. They won't tell you your comp balance, you
have to ask them for things. For example, "Can I get
a $30 comp for the coffee shop?" "Yes, we can do that
for you."
Or, what some people go through is, "Can I get $100
comp for the steak house."
"No, we can't do that for you."
"What amount can I get?"
"What amount do you want?"
"$75."
"No, we can't do that for you...Would you like
something else?"
If you play a lot in just a couple days, stop by the
player's desk and a manager will probably upgrade your
card to get you a higher level of benefits from the
club (such as priority seating at the restaurants--we
jumped in front of about 15 groups at the coffee
shop!). One more thing...I overheard a club
representative telling a woman that she couldn't get
comps based on her play (because it wasn't enough for
what she wanted), but that she could get comps for her
losses...

Will be there this Friday through Sunday (25-27) for
a Bar Mitzvah. Any
recent information that is not in the databases
would be helpful, including
location changes. We haven't been there for several
years. Am interested
in high-level plays since our time for VP will be
limited but we would like
to at least earn room comps - this is a big casino
so would take a lot of
time to completely scout. Personal responses are
fine.
Thanx for any help you can give us.
