Since I've only played 40-50 hours a year, the room offers and such come close to balancing the losses the last two years, but I would not count them or meals as offsetting losses. I think that's silly. I certainly wouldn't count movie passes or junk won via Palms drawings as offsetting losses, for example. Back in my youth, I never counted meals won or free trips via drawings as "winnings." I "won" a cruise for two and a trip to a Chargers game, but I think it's rationalizing to count these things as "winnings."
