After giving them $25,000 coin-in June they finally sent me an invite.
Three days, Sunday-Thursday between now and 1/31/08 and $200 in free
play. They have several black-out dates with the offer but it is
something. It must be nice to have so much action that you can blow
off customers who give you 25K in coin-in. If you play 25K through at
the Eldorado or Silver Legacy in Reno you will 3 offers a week till
the end of time. Even if you move and don't give them a forwarding
address they find you. I also played 20K through at the Golden Nugget
at the same time. They also mailed me one measily offer. I guess Wynn
and the Nugget don't need out of town business.
Wynn actually mailed me something
25k coin in is not considered much in a high end strip casino,
especially on video poker. If it were slots or 25k coin in each day on
video poker it may have made a difference. The Nugget is the same as
it is considered one of the more high end casinos downtown. Green
Valley, which I consider mainly a locals casino, doesnt consider RFB
unless you run 50k+ coin in. By the way, Green valley is catering to
more high end players by adding some pretty pricey machines in their
high limit room. They now have two machines with triple play $100
poker and I beleive they have up to $25 ten play. They also have some
20x2 video slots in the $25 denomination which is only active on
request.

The Wynn actually mailed me something, too. I got an invite for 3 free
nights, too, the difference being that my visit had to be between Nov.
24-27. I'm in Vegas staying with relatives right now, I live near San
Diego. I become a guest of Mr. Wynn on Saturday.
The other difference being that the amount of money I played through
their machines was ridiculously small. You probably played more in
five minutes than I did my whole visit! And I know another guy who
says he put in even less than me, he got his 3 free nights last year.
They must have a lot of empty rooms at certain times.

There are at least two other possibilities.
First is the machines you were playing. Obviously, the lower the EV,
the better the offer.
Second is the area in which you reside. Some casinos market much
more heavily to certain locales, particularly those in California. I
believe that their thinking is, that players who reside within
comfortable driving or inexpensive airfare distance are more likely
to become frequent, loyal customers, with the proper enticements.
From my own personal experience with WYNN, I can attest that they
didn't like my action at all. EH & I only played there once, in
early January, 2007. We ran approximately $12K C/I through on .50c
10/6DDB and $1.00 9/6JOB. We were at WYNN less than 3 hours,
including a leisurely and scrumptious buffet lunch. If I remember
correctly, we lost a very nominal amount of bankroll. Far less
than the worth of the 6 buffets that we earned from our play.
The only offers I have ever received from WYNN, since that time,
were for discounted rooms and FP. I think that the last one was for
$129 per night combined with $100 FP. Hardly worth the almost 4 hour
flight from Chicago.

That's probably it. I live near San Diego, and the other guy I
mentioned who got the offer lives in Orange County, CA. And the letter
I received says, "sometimes a quick escape is better than a lengthy
vacation. There's less packing, and it feels more spontaneous. So I'd
like to personally invite you to just such a getaway."

GF and I both played over $20K/day for three days this past August.Our
point totals were almost identical and we both played the same games.
I won. She lost. She gets free room offers+ free play. I get
reduced rate offers and about half the free play offer. These are e
and snail mail offers. BTW upon checkout a host told me to call
anytime I wanted to visit and he would "take care of me." Sounds like
hosts can do better than the mail.

There has been ample discussion about coin-in, trip averages,
theoretical and so forth.
But casinos can and will send entirely different offers to players
with nearly identical play at the same game based on who won and who
did not.
And, in general, the losing player will get better comps. So, in
comparing situations and evaluating posts you must factor in the net
trip win/loss. Without that information, you are comparing "apples and
orages" even if your actions perfectly match another.
Hosts used to say they only wanted your "play", win or lose. That
concept only faintly resembles now how casinos value your action.
Simply put, casinos will offer more and want you back more if you lose.
