As long and as often as I have been going to Las Vegas, I will never understand some of the Casino policies on mailing offers out of the country.
I can understand if they don't want to waste postage on people with minimal play, but I can't figure it out with places where you give moderate or higher play.
Here is a rundown of all the places that I have given moderate 5k/day or better play to and what I have received in the past 2 years. Maybe we can end up with a good depository
for canucks.
Downtown Casinos
Main Street Station - get poor offers very infrequently, treated fairly well by hosts.
Las Vegas Club - Used to get occasional offers under old management nothing under new.
Plaza - Same as Las Vegas club.
Boulder Strip
Boulder Station - nothing
Sam's Town - Doesn't mail to Canada except by accident sometimes. Hosts there seem to be improving.
Arizona Charlie's - nothing
Henderson area
Fiesta Henderson - No mail, some good hosts .
Green valley ranch - nothing
Sunset station - nothing
Off strip
Palms - nothing
Las Vegas Hilton - many offers, usually free room and $50 - $75 or free slot tournaments.
Palace station - used to get the odd post card, but I haven't given them any solid play in a long time
Gold Coast - nothing
On Strip
Westward Ho - Free room offers as regular as clockwork - minimal play given
Stardust - regular offers for free room and cash 2- 3 days and $25 - $75 - higher offers came after upping play to 6k and higher per day.
Frontier - No mail but easy rooms after 1000 points by calling number on slot card.
Circus Circus- Played twice stayed once on free room only offer (this year), will see how regular they are .
Stratosphere - used to get very regular mail, but has dropped off as I no longer play there since their inventory crapped out.
Sahara - used to get occasional mail, but have stopped going there per bad inventory .
Barbary Coast - used to get fairly regular tournament offers, stopped due to no longer playing because of bad inventory .
NYNY - Used to get fairly decent room plus cash offers, stopped playing and stopped receiving due to bad inventory.
Belly's- Used to get poor offers on minimal play, now no play due to bad inventory, and no more offers.
Well, that's all I can think of right now
Regards
A.P.

Hi Albert,
I overlooked Stardust on my list - I joined their club in January, played for 3 hours (5-cent JW triple play, $.25 BP prog), and have received 2 or 3 mailings since. Buy one night at $38, 2nd night is free.
In today's mail came a piece from El Cortez. Joined there in January as well. Played about 2 hours of quarter DB, JW. They're offering a free room for 3 nights anytime between May and September, along with coupons for $10 food and other misc. stuff.
