Significant Cut in MGM Comps

Below is the e-mail and spreadsheet data regarding comps that I sent to my NYNY host.

My question is that based on my play, was I significantll over comped my last stay or have comps been substantially reduced. I also lost significantly more on this visit.

Thanks
Joel

Hi Steve,
Thanks for getting back to me yesterday. I'm sorry I missed your call.

To clarify my point on the reduction of comps, I've attached a spreadsheet with my Dec 05 and April 06 play and comps at MGM TI ands NYNY. I believe the numbers are accurate.

The spreadsheet shows that based on dollars played, comps in April where roughly 50% of what they were in Dec.

I appreciate the comps, rooms and shows that we have enjoyed at MGM properties. I have simply questioned MGM's comp percentage and wanted MGM to acknowledge that comps have been significantly cut. Instead I have been told that I have been sufficiently comped..

I would appreciate you forwarding the spreadsheet to NYNY management so that I can receive an official response. I have posted this e-mail and spreadsheet on a number of gaming web sites to inform other players. I will also post a response from NYNY if I receive one.

While I have always enjoyed my stays at MGM properties and was moving towards making MGM my home base when I visist Las Vegas, the results of my last stay will force me to rethink staying at MGM properties in the future.

Regards,

Joel Fink
