There are also many casino's that do not give anything in return for your play (expect for a free drink). The fact that large gaming corporaties (in Vegas and other major cities) do, does not mean you are entitled to the perks they give. They can stop alltogether whenever they please. And if all those companies stop tomorrow there is nothing you can do about it except not giving them any play anymore.

You say you are not complaining on your own behalf. But at the same time you express your complaints in a way louder voice than most gamblers do. Up to the point where it gets predictable and over the top imo. Up to the point where I can't even imagine you enjoy your trips to CET properties because you always come back with more complaints than compliments. Why not stop gambling altogether, then there will be no reason to complain anymore? Sounds like a plan that would make your life a lot more enjoyable.
I don't understand the point of the above lecture.

You are acting as if the casino is giving me something out of the goodness of their hearts, like a gracious friend serving me dinner when I visit his house.

The comps and benefits given by large casinos are essentially a marketing trick in order to make gamblers feel better about losing money.

Rather than walking out empty handed and feeling like you wasted your hard earned money for no return, you can look at your "comps" and "perks", and feel like you got a form of a consolation prize.

And if they don't give you these comps, you will go next door to the casino that does.

So, no, I am not feeling entitled, because I don't feel that casino comps are a gift or a nice thing they're doing for me. It's all a carefully researched business transaction.
