On my trip in for July 4, I was booked on a three day offer. I played heavily the first day. I did not play the second and third days but went to restaurants, watched movies (they were free for 7 Stars) and I checked with my host and all was "okay."
However, my previous trip which was booked as a free play, two day offer, I became ill after the first day and went home. I told my host I was going home ill (this is when I caught that miserable cold that lingered for a couple of weeks) and I was told that since I hadn't cut short previous trips this would not hurt future offers. But that's when we got into the discussion about how they were serious about cutting offers for players who don't stay on property.
This may actually defeat the strategy of "checking out by phone" after you've left.
