XVP-Hypothetical question

#1

I've always wondered what the answer to this question is.

Two totally different casinos all send you an invitation for a free event that includes free
comp room,free comp play and free food credit. One event is over two nights the friday-
saturday, and the second event is over the saturday-sunday.You realise that you can actually
make both events (the first event finishes the saturday morning,the second event begins the
saturday afternoon) however participating in both events is contingent on being registered at
both hotels for both nights of both events.

Can one legitimately register at both hotels (even thought the hotel-casinos are not related)
and even though technically you have to seem as if you are staying over the saturday night in
both hotels? Is this considered unethical? Would the hotels care as long as you give them
play?

In my experience, few would worry about ethics here (FWIW). If you
were talking about "0-tripping" one of the properties, I'd leave the
question to others.

However, you hypothetically intend to give them the play desired.
Think of the EV of that play to them as being a proxy for paying for
the room. Would two hotels be concerned if you double booked a room
so long as you paid for them?

You qualified your question as involving unrelated properties (not
quoted). That's becoming less and less likely a prospect these days.
I'll note that casino chains are becoming more alert to double
booking by players and tend to frown on the practice (I know of one
instnace where a reservation was cancelled out when a second one at a
related property was made).

I do it all the time and haven't had a problem yet. We always give both places our standard coin in for the stays.

I've always wondered what the answer to this question is.

Two totally different casinos all send you an invitation for a

free event that includes free

comp room,free comp play and free food credit. One event is over

two nights the friday-

saturday, and the second event is over the saturday-sunday.You

realise that you can actually

make both events (the first event finishes the saturday

morning,the second event begins the

saturday afternoon) however participating in both events is

contingent on being registered at

both hotels for both nights of both events.

Can one legitimately register at both hotels (even thought the

hotel-casinos are not related)

and even though technically you have to seem as if you are staying

over the saturday night in

both hotels? Is this considered unethical? Would the hotels care

as long as you give them

play?

I double book a lot. Sometimes you have to be a
registered guest to cash a coupon (Stardust and Sam's
Town, for example) and in the summer especially I like
it because it avoids the "homeless" time between
checking out of one hotel and checking into the next
one. Your stuff can get REALLY hot in the trunk of
your car in Las Vegas!!:slight_smile:

I double book in LV or AC when I'm going with a lot of friends.
When it comes to ethics and casinos, they're mutually exclusive.
It's the job of the casino Corps. to squeeze as much money out
of guests and players as possible. Just look at how they eject card-
counters who are doing nothing more than playing blackjack with
their MINDS!

As such, I feel no compunction about taking full advantage of casino
offers. The only exception to this is when I book through my host;
I do feel I owe her a minimum level of play to justify my RFB.
