I met an older man whose name I believe is Otis, about 2002. He's in his 80s and he and his wife spent two months in Laughlin every winter. They literally moved between three casinos and didn't spend a dime on rooms. His wife passed away a few years ago and he missed one season but is back to his old routine. He has about a gazzilion dollars in food comps at Edgewater, but still orders one last soda at the BJ table before we go to Hickorys for dinner. He brings it in and gets free refills, saving himself $2.50 or so.
There are many ways players can take advantage of casino comps. We like to take road trips around the country. We try to plan our trips around comped rooms. Once you establish a track record, most casinos will give you a free room. We are not high rollers by any means. Both of us play mostly quarter VP. Our combined play makes us look like a bigger player.

We have a pile of player's cards from casinos all over the country. Often we will get an offer from a casino we haven't been to before and we check it out. We always ask for a room when the casino is slow or on a weekday. Most of the time free play comes with the offer. Sometimes we get buffet vouchers or show tickets as well.

Do we make money doing this? No. Do we have a great time. Yes.
