What does it take to get comped (@ MB, say)

Anyone have first hand experience with getting comps for playing @ Mandalay Bay?

For the sake of argument, say $25/hand blackjack. What does it take to get meals comped. Is it just a function of time spent at the tables?

OK I just found this on cheapovegas.com, maybe this answers my question:

';Who Gets Comps? The slot club serves several properties and pays a fair cash rebate on slots, and half as much on video poker. How much you think they paid a consultant to come up with that? If you%26#39;re a nickel or casual quarter player, you can bet your sweet bippy you won%26#39;t get nothing. The $100-$200 bettors will start seeing comps.';

Still interesting in first-hand experiences if anyone has any. Thanks.

The best advice is to sign up for the Players card for whereever you%26#39;re playing - all the hotels have them and just hand the card over whenever your playing at a table.

The points add up in the end.

I just read though that the table games don%26#39;t apply for getting points. I think I read that on the Player%26#39;s Club website. You slowly rack up points on a slot machine, but not at table games. But, you can immediately ask for food comps when done playing at the table game. But that you don%26#39;t get a continually rising number throughout your play. ?? Does that sound right?

Rule of thumb%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;

For every 1000.00 gambled, YOU might get a Free meal at the Buffet.

Cheaper not too worry about comps. Enjoy yourself with out the pressure to PERFORM hoping to get the illusive COMP.

at MB $25 min will probably not get rated.

The easy answer is this: CALL AND ASK. each casino has different guidelines, the hosts will always talk to you and give you basic guidelines, during your play you can ASK at any time where you stand.

No one here will be as much an expert as the hotel themselves. Table games are different animals than machines - don;t confuse the 2.

Not too long ago we discussed this in depth. Click on my name and try to find the thread.

ktown, let me reiterate Bridgefan%26#39;s take. Do not confuse slots and table games. With the necessary players card the hotel knows exactly what your total slot play is. They can then precisely figure their ';hold'; and your % payback from that. Table games are much more subjective casino to casino. @MB, you will need to play alot of hours at $25 to get much. That%26#39;s for sure. Do call the hotel, ask for casino host and one of them will tell you. And right before you checkout, ask the host to ';see what they can do';..they still may knock off a few bucks from your bill from meals charged to your room. Good luck!!

My last trip to MB/THE Hotel (last summer) I was comped all three nights. I was betting about $25-$50 a hand and NOT that many hours, I didn%26#39;t think.

Then Mirage comped me for 3 nights in November--same basic play--and TI comped me 2 nights NYE with again, the same basic amount of play. We use our Players Card EVERYWHERE we can (both slots and table play) and then at the end of the visit go to the desk and I never ask--they just offer it (plus food and bev the last 2 trips). Maybe I should smarten up and ask for something :)

We leave tonight for 3 nights at TI and I was comped ahead of time with a suite, etc. I haven%26#39;t decided if I like that idea--seems to put more pressure on me to play at TI (at least in my mind).

4 hours and counting!

note: wellheynow doesn%26#39;t get it either. One must read down to find out, surprise!, it%26#39;s not one person%26#39;s play @ $25-50 but two people and there%26#39;s slots involved...

How would it be 2 people%26#39;s play? One one card at the tables?

Well... you get the players card at your hotel (and any other you feel like getting a card for) and then play. Charge some meals to your room. When you check out they will let you know if any of it can be comped. The places you didn%26#39;t stay at might send you some offers for future visits to their hotel.

I had WAY WAY WAY better comps for less gambling action at NYNY (so I think that is the MGM-Mirage group of hotels. I gambled at penny and nickel slots exclusively and a lot (for me) but also wandered to other hotels and didn%26#39;t always gamble and I got about 3 (two person) meals paid for in the end.

I gambled much more and much longer when I stayed at Flamingo, and when combining MY number with my travel companions after five days, we got a measley $13 comp toward one meal. Ugghh.
