Comped for 4 nights but not doing much gambling

I have been to Vegas many times...but always with my ';gambling stash';, money saved just for gambling. The times being what they are for many of us, I have a question. I have been comped 4 nights at the Venetian %26amp; found a low airfare. This trip I will have a very small ';stash'; as I call it for gambling. Does anyone go comped %26amp; then not gamble much? I know this sounds silly...but I really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks

Comped for 4 nights but not doing much gambling

Sure you can have a great time and not spend a lot on gambling. If you want to do some gambling, just make small bets on the penny machine. Sometimes, if I can find a 2 cent video poker machine, I will play 2 cents or 5 cents a hand to kill time and still get drinks. LOL.

I don%26#39;t think it sounds silly at all! My DH and I went in December for 5 nights comped at Caesar%26#39;s Palace and hardly gambled! I think we gambled $100-$150 dollars per day! We just wanted to be in Vegas hanging around and enjoying each others company. If you can afford to go- I say go! Just don%26#39;t gamble over your ';stash'; and you should be good! Have fun!

Mickey, I too have a gambling stash. So far so good there. If your room is already taken care of and you don%26#39;t give them much play, then chances are your future comps may be affected. But if that doesn%26#39;t concern you then don%26#39;t feel bad about accepting their offer. They can be nice, helpful and friendly but they are like hookers. Ultimately it%26#39;s all about your money. We%26#39;re all adults here.

I think the only thing to think about is that future comped offers will probably be jeopardized. I wouldn%26#39;t accept the comp, myself, unless I intended to play, because I wouldn%26#39;t want to ruin the relationship for the future.

Even though our last Vegas trip we didn%26#39;t gamble that much, it HAS NOT hurt our offers! We are going in May and are comped for our 5 night stay (within the HET properties at the same casino). Some casinos maybe different, obviously. Hope this helps.

I always stay somewhere that I don%26#39;t care if I go to again or not when I%26#39;m going to be in non gambling mode when in Vegas. My comps have all been at MGM Mirage properties or GVR, however I made the decision that I would like move to some different properties, so when I don%26#39;t care if I%26#39;m gambling much or not, I%26#39;m going to use up my MGM Mirage comps and save the stash for properties I want to be invited to.

IlMickey95: Since you have a small stash, I%26#39;d suggest gambling it all at the same casino, because as underpar suggests, it may impact your future offers.

Instead of kicking around and gambling at every casino, save your stash for Venetian/Palazzo. Penny slot-player here with very little money gambled at Palazzo, and we are getting 3 to 4 offers weekly from Club Grazie, so the higher end casinos have got to be hurting for customers in this economy. Just my opinion, no real -life experience to draw on. Have fun. Mark

In my opinion if you can afford to go with the comps and low airfare, you should go and not worry about how it affects future offers. Enjoy yourself during this trip. You don%26#39;t know what the economy will be in the future none of us do, so enjoy this opportunity given to you and play wise with your ';stash';.

And then again you can stay home and wait till you can go without any hesitation and a better bigger ';stash';.

It is really your choice, you are the only one that knows what your situation is.

I think I got the same comp, and unless I win some early on also have little for gambling this time.... but I think the fine print says something about this offer being based on maintaining your historical level of play. I don%26#39;t know if that means they could charge you for the room if you don%26#39;t gamble or not.

Curious to hear more regarding them charging you after offering the comps.....

I always go on a comp room offer (and usually gamble quite a bit) - my next trip I am comped and also booked a second room at casino rate for one of my friends who is travelling with me. My understanding is that any additional comps during my stay would be based on level of play while there but once the room is given as a complimentary that it cannot be taken away????
