Total Rewards Quandary
Posted: Sun Dec 31, 2017 5:51 pm
I’ve been a Diamond 2 level player or equivalent (40k-70k t/c per year) for maybe 10 years. I get picked up and dropped off at the airport by limo, free show tickets at any show in town, food charged to the room is often or maybe always comped, free cruises and usually $600-$900 in free play when I go. Always stay at Harrah’s...well, just because. I play a LOT at Bally’s because they’ve got several Multi-Strike machines and I love the game. I play $2 single line or $1 multi-line all day long on every trip, so $10-$25/hand. I usually take $5-$10k and have a $20k credit line that I sometimes have to draw from. Sometimes it gets paid back before I leave, sometimes...well, you know, but we have fun!
We are going next week and I’ve got a question. I’m thinking of jumping ship because I’m probably not diamond anymore, it’s changed anyway and my host can no longer book comp show tickets off property. I believe my offers will soon start sucking too. I haven’t been in a year, very unusual so I haven’t slugged enough through machines to justify all of the royal treatment, but we do get a 2br suite at Bally’s this trip. I like TR because they are everywhere but we don’t go as often and probably won’t in the next year either.
Adding to this, I prefer to play the goofy games like Multi-Strike and I found one I really like at Rio, something to do with extra hands for aces, can’t remember because it’s been a year. A friend is at Bally’s now and said they’ve removed all of the Multi-Strike games but one! This is the ONLY reason I’m staying there, they had 4 or 5 last year!
I’ve been doing some reading and it looks like Green Valley Ranch and Red Rock have the most games with the best paytables and just as important to me- a large variety of these multi-line newer goofy games.
So my quandary is- would my play over 3 days grab their attention and will the hosts over there be able or willing to toss offers like I’m used to if I just camp out over there and play like I always do on this trip?
Because we only go 3-5 times/yr on a normal year, I concentrate my play with TR casinos to maximize the value of the perks. They’ve treated us very well but cannot next year either because the rules have changed or I haven’t played enough, probably both.
Anyone have a similar playing style as me and know what I might expect? I haven’t been to GVR in years and never to Red Rock.
Thanks in advance for anyone’s knowledge, experience or expertise.
