@@swimwsu76slots earn the best comps as they have the biggest house edge, this keeps people from just placing $100 on red and $100 on black and spamming spin for 4 hours. You would think wow I just bet $200 a spin for hours! But you might only be down $1,000 from the green zero vs being down possibly $50,000 on slots

The longer you stay the greater the edge of the House's probability. My only question is this. How would one put together a 1-5 year game plan to efficently maximize comps and to level up each tier so that you're maximizing your entertainment? For the majority of us, Nevada and Atlantic City are 1-4x a year trips and even putting in the time is only going to get you so far.

NICE! Yes, I always book directly through the resort and make sure you charge all of your in casino meals to your room. A host can comp those, if you play enough. If you're not charging to the room, they cannot give you those perks. I don't think I play that much money through, but I will put in a lot of hours playing. I have been getting free room offers for years doing this. I also sign up for slot tournaments and that also connects you to other offers that casinos may be giving, but only to those tournament players. Hey, you may get lucky and win too. I've wond 2K in free play before, and that can turn into real cash fast, Good luck out there to all of you!

Great insight! I haven’t seen any other KZread personality do this yet. If you do a Part 2, there’s three questions I’d like to have answered. 1. My wife and I have our cards linked. We make Platinum each year in about three trips. Would it be better if we were both Gold instead on one Platinum? 2. I always use a marketing executive to book our stays. Ironically here name is Tara too and works at Mandalay Bay. We really like her and she does a great job with taking care of our trips. We’ve had hosts reach out to us, but keep booking with the marketing executive. Would booking with a host be better for us? 3. I typically stay Monday through Thursday and used to get a midweek bonus of $500 in freeplay. That midweek freeplay hasn’t been available to me in the past two trips. Is that bonus gone for everyone, or just some people like me? Thanks so much! I think you found a good niche with this !

@DestinationJackpot

4 ай бұрын

Those are great questions I will sure ask those in part 2. I will say as far as gold versus platinum. I would look at the perks for each level and see if that is worth it for you, and which one you will get most benefit from like my husband and I play Golden Nugget we each get chairman instead of getting up to the highest tier, because that is a better benefit for us.

This was a great helpful video. I'm going next Tuesday and staying at New York New York. I was comp the hotel. I'm going to start going 3 times a year if I can get my hotel comp. I just finished helping my two daughters with college and vehicles. My turn to spend money on myself lol.

However, after another losing session and sitting at a machine playing my last few dollars, a host approached me and introduced herself. She knew my name and had been watching my betting activity and I received my first two comps on my losing session! I knew I would be back and next time will be the time I start being successful or lucky.

She texted me after I arrived home also and requested that I let her know when I come back. I am not a gold or platinum or pearl member. I am at the lowest tier level a player can start at.

I recall one trip when I went alone, and I had hit a $4k Royal Flush jackpot my 1st 10 minutes after check-in. I started drinking and played about 16 hours with only bathroom breaks. At around hour 17, A host came to me, introduced herself, and suggested I take a break and get a free meal, or something (At that point, I was down about $3500 of the earlier win) - I played the credits off the machine, went and ate the comped meal, and called it a night. I thought it was a good thing that the host intercepted what could have been a painful night, since I was cratering....I always like it when a host finds me, and pays a quick visit.

Hey, Thanks for the vid. Super interesting to learn. Im coming to Vegas with some friends next year for our 40th. Quick Question, for groups that come maybe once every few years, is there any point me thinking about reward cards and comps? Im sure we will sign up once over and play a lot of slots and table games but not sure 5 nights will be enough to see any benefit for us? So it would be great to get your take. Im the planner so I'm just trying to make sure I understand all the little things Vegas does, that us brits don't do, Thanks a lot :)

I can rationalize comps and free play as a rebate on losses. I get massage, golf, buffets, concert tix, rooms. Smart players can come out close to even every year with a great relationship with a host.. They will trade your cash for services all day long. Soft comps are company owned services and easier to get, Hard comp is anything other like Taylor Swift concert, raiders game not in owned suite etc...you gotta lose a ton to get a hard comp.

Trying to play the game so the value my "free" room, comps, match play etc arent too much less than my losses. I enjoy gambling and casino living, but I'm not going to lose too much more than the retail cost of those things trying to get them for "free." So I'm never going to be a high roller and that's fine with me, but oddly enough if you hit the tier credit multiplier days and take advantage of offers it's really not that hard to get decent rewards without losing too much. Well on my way to Diamond Elite at Caesars and almost 60% of my tier points have come from matching points or the multipliers.

If they sometimes know you as a player and how you play as she said she can sometimes offer more. But, she is taking a chance on you by doing that.

Ty. For this video I’m gold but no host. I bet fast not long hull

Glad it was helpful!

Gold status is to hard to reach now without making many trips out over the course of a year and losing a lot of money. It used to be more obtainable but unless you come often, pearl is about only status that most people will reach. A video on what extras you can get and how to get them with one status below gold (or its equivalent at other chains) might be interesting. In other words, can you push to get some additional credits at check out with pearl status even without an assigned host? A guide on how to do that would be interesting as it will be applicable to way more people than those with gold status (or higher) and a personal host.

@@DestinationJackpot Thanks that would be great. Also to clarify I meant a player who is pearl status (or its equivalent) but maybe on given trip(s) is playing at a good level. I have heard you still can maybe get some additional amounts off your bill. But guidance on how to do this? What to ask for? Who to approach to get the most off? How much can you possibly get off depending on play on that given trip even though you are not gold tier? This is going to include the majority of players since they have now made gold and above so hard to achieve. I actually don't think it reasonable to get to this level anymore unless you are regularly using a tie in credit card and/or are coming out to Vegas many times over the course of the year.

Low (bets) + slow = TIME ! This is the best kept secret for getting comps

Yes that is a great tip!

What a great video - Thank you for posting this. This is the 1st I have seen of your channel....(will sub) Can you share your host's contact info? I currently have offers of 4 nights hotel, $600 free play and $350 resort credit for all the MGM properties. I used to get offers for other locations (Beau Rivage, Borgata, etc) but when they got hacked, my card did not work and they issued a new card and I had no offers at all...They finally got that sorted out, so I see the offers above for any Vegas property, but I still do not get the other locations. (I have called the rewards department multiple times, and even tried to contact the Beau Rivage directly, but so far, no joy from it.) - I was told to contact a casino host. For the Beau, I used to get the trips for 2 for about $50 per person (air, hotel, free play, transfers, etc all included) and we have taken this trip about four times. (three times last year....) BTW - I am also from Texas (a suburb of DFW) Thanks again.

Thank you for the very interesting video. I have the feeling that the MGM Rewards program is too much geared towards American citizens. For me as a German or European it is not possible to visit Las Vegas several times a year. It is also not possible to apply for a Master Card.

I started last year with mgm and 2 stays. This year only one stay for 2 weeks

Great video. Last NYNY trip which I normally do not stay at Tara took great care of me. Simply had to walk into her office which is in High Limit Slot area. Very busy lady on a Friday night! If anyone is wondering cruises work same. Usually your auto enrolled into there Players Club but cruises they work usually outside of the cruiseline itself. For instance I cruise with Norwegian. Norwegian's casino is run by Casinos at Sea which is a entirely different loyalty system that Norwegian runs right down to reservations. Have not paid for a cruise in years upon years due to cruise players club system. Anyhow it pays greatly to have a host. Easy to get all you have to do is talk to one. 99% of the time they have a separate office which has a sign or they are in a office in "High Limits". Usually they can offer things that the app or website do not. At worst its the same offer.

We are on a cruise now and just did an interview with a long time cruiser that will be coming out soon. Thank you for the tips, it is a whole other comp system to learn for sure. What is your favorite cruise line and ship?

Norwegian. They try to appeal to all age brackets. There larger ships have a great mini vegas vibe. There priced such the passengers tend to be sane. The boats while not small by any measure are small enough to go through the Panama Canal so I feel the boat size is perfect. Other then Norwegian I have done Princess once and to this day I could book for casino rate or comped depending. Both have great player club rewards that mostly come in the form of a free cabin or greatly discounted one. Since food and drink depending if you selected package is free they tend to comp based on game play specialty dining and spa mostly. Since your only talking about 300 slots maybe 8 tables the host knows everyone after the first night. I think its fun to since you see the same gamblers playing whole trip and make some great friends. Anyhow if you get sucked into cruising via casino comps you tend to stick with that cruise line no matter what so pick wisely! @@DestinationJackpot

I just checked and the daily bonuses are listed on the app now!

Thanks for the video btw! I'm heading down to Vdara in a couple of weeks and I'm Diamond at Caesars but their hosts are terrible so I'm going to start doing all my play at MGM properties from now on!

Shannon, in the tier credits section. You mention earning 3,000 TC a day is good and the host confirms. Then the host says for room comps they are looking for a THEO of 1,500 a day. Did she mean 1,500 TC a day? Because she mentions THEO is TC earned times 12%. That would be 12,500 TC a day to hit 1,500 THEO. Appreciate the clarification.

@@DestinationJackpotthank you Dave. Even though I already had an account with M life but has stopped visit the M properties almost a decade now, will they still match my current Platinum Plus Tier with Caesar or they will only match if I would never have an account with M life?

My comps went way down for 2024 because my 8+ night stay in September took place during the 2023 cyberattack and I couldn’t do my usual slot play. It really hurt players who can only travel to Las Vegas 1-2 times a year.
