How to Get Comps in Vegas

1. Focus on one property in each program.

2. Play for several hours if you can. Put in 4 solid hours a day and you are in a good range for comps usually.

3. Each "day" in a casino is different based on the program and the property. For example, in some places in CET, the "day" ends/starts at 6am, so make sure you do not start at 5am and play for 3 hours because then it will look like 1 hour one day and 2 hours the next instead of 3 hours on one day. I am not sure when the Mlife "day" ends, but I know you can't go wrong between 12noon and 12am at either program. 

4. If you really want people to throw offers at you, play slots (without VP/tables). They will love you. 

5. They give slot players great comps because slots have horrible odds. It will take VP and table players so much more to impress the programs but they have a better chance of winning. Also, they love it when you play at progressives and penny slots, which have even worse odds among slots. 

6. They love it when you play at the same machine for a long time particularly worse-paying machines.

7. Pay attention to your coin-in (this is the points that you can read when you put in your card--every program has different point scheme so find this out). This will be how much money you recycled through the machine over the length of your session. It's not about how much money you actually had in your hand to play with to start with; it's how much you played, won, played again, won, played again...you know, just keep giving them back their money. And they will love you.

8. Dropping off their radar and then playing hardcore is a good thing! They will never forget you.

9. $400 on slots in a day over several hours will usually bring some goodies at most properties. I find this to be the golden ticket. Some people who do much less can get fair comps. If you can afford it, play for the darn comps. You were going to spend that money anyway. 

10. If you were a newbie, some places require playing at a casino at least twice before they start sending "real" offers. But if you let it rain, once should be enough.

11. Focus on the highest properties you are interested in. The lower properties will definitely take interest from focus at a higher property. FOcus on the lower properties may not get you attention at higher properties until greater established play is made.
