Casino Rate Through Host is Higher Than Promotional Rate?

I booked two rooms at the Wynn for an upcoming stay. The Host I went through was generous enough to bring me in for 4 comped nights. However, he suggested booking the second room through him at casino rate. I did mention to him that I have a promotional code that was lower price than the casino rate, but he just said well you are getting 4 comped nights for free. I%26#39;ve only stayed there once so I%26#39;m not yet established there so I%26#39;m just thinking of letting it go and hopefully the second room will end up getting comped as well based on my play. But still, I don%26#39;t like having a high room rate up front. Any advice?

Casino Rate Through Host is Higher Than Promotional Rate?

Goosey, that attitude from the host does not sit well with me - as if to say ';well I am giving one free room so I can jack you on room 2'; I think that is bogus in my book and I would use the promo rate. If they then take away your comped nights b.c you went with the promo rate, that is really BS.... let us know what you end up doing, very odd though!

Casino Rate Through Host is Higher Than Promotional Rate?

Ya. That attitude made me think that I might be better off looking for a better host the next time I%26#39;m there. We corresponded over email a few times before I finally called him. And when I called him, he didn%26#39;t really remember who I was.

I do think that he was generous in giving me those comped nights in the first place. And I actually was planning to book my second room through reservations except for the fact he suggested booking the second room for me (which I believe is a more convenient process). I don%26#39;t want to rub my host the wrong way though so I%26#39;m planning to just stick with the reservations. I only need the second room for half of my stay. I was originally planning to just keep two rooms, but now I think I%26#39;m going to fit 3 adults into one room once my dad leaves (my dad is leaving early).

I don%26#39;t have any experience with the Wynn. but a promotional rate being lower than ';casino rate'; is very common in the current economic climate. In fact at MGMMIrage properties, I%26#39;ve found that often ';casino rate'; is a bad deal and here%26#39;s why: If you get ';casino rate';, they will use your ';comps'; first to cover the difference between ';rack'; rate and casino rate. Since the rack rate is often very high (very few actually pay it), you%26#39;re better off using the promo because you have a better chance of getting room charges or food wiped off of your bill before checking out because the ';comp spread'; is much lower (if that makes any sense lol).

happened to me in Sept at PH but my Host took care of it and gave me the lower rate.

Given your limited established play level, you may have been getting more than you deserve to begin with. What do you play and at what bet / time level?How much was the difference between promo rate and what you were quoted? It may be you were way ahead and the host understandably was taken aback by your want more attitude. If you bet yellow or even purple chips for hours a day, then your point is well taken.

I say cancel the 2nd room and reserve it through the

reservations using the promo rate. Ask the rservationist to connect the 2nd room to yours. Tell them you are traveling with your father and need a room next door or very close to his. Forget your host for room two.

Then I wouldn%26#39;t ask to have the two reservations connected, the host could probably see that. Just cancel the first one through your host, say whoever was going to be in the second room decided not to come. THEN book that room at the promo rate, but in the name and credit card of whoever is actually going to be staying there.

As mentioned, I do indeed think I have gotten more than I deserve (I got the comp with the expectation that I will play like I did last time). So I%26#39;m leaning towards just sticking to the reservation. The casino rate is about $60 more a night than the promotional rate. And instead of keeping 2 rooms, I will end up cancelling one of the rooms and fit 3 adults into one room. Still, I%26#39;m grateful for being brought in on comp as it still will work out to be cheaper than booking 2 rooms at promotional rate.

I am little bit afraid to cancel my reservation on the 2nd room and then book through reservations. A problem with cancelling my 2nd room reservation and having my dad book the 2nd room is that there will be no chance I can get that room comped based on my play (my dad doesn%26#39;t really gamble). It%26#39;s slightly inconvenient, but I also think I%26#39;m getting a decent deal overall.

I booked 2 rooms with my host for this May, the first room is comped and the second is a very very low rate. I%26#39;d be thinking about changing host on your next trip. I did, didn%26#39;t like what the first host was doing for me, the second host has been great. Although I am staying at the Flamingo which is a big difference from the Wynn but still think its more of a host issue.

Is there a good way to locate a good host or even another host? The host I went through this time was the one that approached me. The host I checked out with was a different person and he wasn%26#39;t particularly generous so I didn%26#39;t even bother getting his card. Tough business finding a host to build a long-term relationship I suppose.
