[casino_comps] Re: casino give aways

I've never gotten anything worth mentioning from Fitzgeralds, but...you build up points on your card for cash back and comps simultaneously. They're really generous with their meal comps for table play, there's no need to use your points for food; just ask, and you shall receive. So at the end of your trip, assuming you've gambled like there's no tomorrow, you should have quite a few dollars in comps to spend at the gift shop. I brought back some really cool souveniers for my daughter, nephew, and nieces last year and didn't spend a dime on them. My best casino giveaway ever - a hooded sweatshirt from the now defunct Harrah's in Tunica, MS. That was 7-8 years ago, my wife still wears it all the time. The worst ever - a clock radio from Diamond Jacks in Bossier City, LA. It loses 3-4 minutes a day and I've never been able to get anything resembling a decent radio signal on it.

Harrahs gives the lowest quality stuff - I got an MP3 player there that was so awful, no one at Harrahs could have ever looked at it in advance...and all the set up instructions were in Korean. A ridiculously low-end digital camera. I have learned never to let myself be influenced by any of their give-aways in choosing a trip date.

And they gave me some sort of business card case, which I thought was totally stupid, but turns out I use to carry around my credit cards. So for 5 or 6 years I've walked around promoting Casino Royale every time I pulled out a credit card.
