At the same time there is an abundance of other hotels offering "the entire run of the place" for relatively small bettors. In that case, it makes sense to match the casino comp policy and expectation to your level of play. Don't get me wrong, I think the drapery fabric in the $385 per night suites at the Paris Resort are very nice, but how important are they to you? By what percentage does your enjoyment increase if your fully-comped three-room suite doesn't include free nightly shoe-shines, but your Visa-charged $210 per night ten-foot by ten-foot room does?   Here is a typical fully-comped “$10 table-action” suite at Boulder Station.  I dare you to compare it to a “paid-for-with-Mastercard-room” at your usual haunt.

Other players will tell you that they like the way staff members treat them, and so they will frequent the houses that have the most Dale Carnegie-type of "How to Win Friends, and Influence People" graduates working there. If you too, like to be treated with warmth, dignity and respect there are some companies that genuinely put that at the front of their priorities, not just on the front page of their Annual Shareholder's Report.  A couple of places like that which come to mind are: Suncoast, Golden Nugget, Mirage, Regent Las Vegas, Fiesta, Sunset Station, Gold Coast, and the Hyatt Regency Lake Las Vegas.

 As for me, I track which casinos I make the most money in during an average session.  Some tables are more advantageous to shoot on, and I will seek them out.  I like certain restaurants and “headliner” shows, so I also play at those houses where the comps are commensurate with my action, although I do not alter my style or level of wagering to get a comp.  In some cases, I actually prefer to pay for some things rather than playing in non-advantageous conditions.  I’ll give you a small hint at where my greatest profits have been earned without relying on freebies and comps.
