Venetian/Strip comps

#1

Best VP odds on the strip- hands down- is at the Casino Royale (across from
the Mirage).

It's a dive, though, and if you're used to the Venetian, you probably won't
like the accommodations.

Lots of younger people swilling the cheap beer they sell.

Interestingly, I have never had much luck there, but the pay tables are the
best on the strip.

I used to be a Harrah's Diamond member but stopped playing there when they

when I've stayed on the Strip I've gone to Venetian/Palazzo where I've
either gotten comped rooms or decent deals ($129 a night plus food/show/slot
credits). But the rumors of their eliminating comps other than to the
high-rollers seem to be true. When I asked about rooms for June, I was quoted the
same rate I could get thru any site online. And they said to be comped, it
would take 4-6 hours of $2 VP or $250 average bet at the tables. If they
had decent VP I might be able handle that, but not with the games they
offer.

I'll see if I get an e-mail offer for June, but otherwise we'll be
shopping around for the Strip part of our visit. Any ideas on other places on the
Strip? I remember Wynn being very tight. What about the MGM properties
these days?

I know Casino Royale well (triple triple triple cash!). I used to jokingly say that the Venetian should market the fact that CR is right next door (I did consider it a plus when staying at Venetian). I do like to play VP there, but in terms of rooms, I'm looking for something more high-end - something the wife will be excited about. So I'm wondering about room comps/offers at Bellagio, Aria, Mirage, Wynn, etc.
