Burn through RC's to get comps from Casino Host?
Used to play slots exclusively at Las Vegas Hilton up until a few years ago. 2 or 3 trips a year. 6-10 hours a day, $1.50-$2 a spin. Enough to get great comps including, free play, suite and anything I wanted to eat. Hilton's closed and I had a contact from an old host of mine who now works at Caesars. I now play total rewards properties almost exclusively for the past 3 years.
I still visit Vegas 2 or 3 trips a year. 6-10 hours a day, $1.50-$2 a spin or more if I'm on a roll. It's fun. I'm Diamond (all 3 years) aspirations 2 currently and will probably be Diamond aspirations 3 this year. Problem is, in 3 years with Total rewards, other than the free play mail offer and the free room with it, I've yet to receive a comp from my host.
This idea that I can only get a comp when my RC's are used up bothers me. Like others on this site, I'm banking up my RC's. I have $800 saved up but I don't know why. I kind of feel like they owe me some comps.
I'd also really hate to burn through my comps and bill some additional meals to my room to find out those wouldn't be comped.
Anyone have any suggestion for me to maximize my comps? I really like my host, she's very attentive and she's wanted to comp me things but can't because of my RC balance. Thanks.
