How to Get Comped at Vegas Without Being Super Rich or Good Looking

Comps are the hotel casino standard of keeping gambling degenerates like us at a single casino. These are free stuff that the casino gives you in return for spending money playing the games at their casinos. So if you're spending a considerable amount of time gambling (i mean gambling BIG), you are going to get some comps from pit bosses or casino hosts. These could be food and beverage comps (usually for the breakfast buffet) or even a comp for something at the hotel gift shop or show tickets.
 
Here are 2 ways to get comps:
 
Just Ask:

Don't be afraid:Ask for things. Casinos are never going to just give you free stuff (maybe a breakfast buffet comp) so you need to ask. (It also doesn't hurt to tip the pit boss.) 

Join the casino players club:

If you are a frequent visitor to Vegas (like me), it pays to sign up for the casino's players club or players reward club. In fact, in order to even get a room comp or other types of comps you must first be a "rated player." This means you sign up for the players club, and are given a card which keeps track of how much money you are gambling, at either the tables or the slots.

If you plan a trip to Vegas do some medium to heavy gambling. You should be concerned with which players club gets you the most rewards. And if you spend all your time gambling in that casino, you can get your room tab discounted or even comped.

Just ask to have your bill evaluated when you check-out. If you have spent a considerable amount of time gambling, at least a few hours each day of your stay, the hotel will be able to knock off some charges on your bill.

Poker News: World Poker Tour Celebrates 10th Anniversary at Five Diamond World Poker Classic

 

Past due but needed to be said. Congrats on WPT 10th anniversary one of the pioneers of making gambling degenerates like me dreams comes true!

 

 

 

On Dec. 6, 2011, the World Poker Tour returned to the place where it all began, the Five Diamond World Poker Classic at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. The event marked the 10th anniversary of the WPT, which was fitting not only because it was the first WPT event, but because it was the first time the hole cam used for televised poker.

Thanks to Poker News.
