RE: [vpFREE] Free Rooms & Free play question

Okay, Gotta chime in here. Bear in mind this is my
opinion/experience only, but this is what I do when
stiffing a casino like this.

First, I NEVER get a host on board. If you strike up
a relationship with them they are very likely to check
out your play when you are on property. If they see
little or no play they could try to charge you.
Happened to me at the LVH - cost me a bundle. hosts
are great if you are actually playing, but they get a
bit cranky if they think they are being used. Go
figure.

What exactly does the fine print say? I did this at
the Palazzo over Stupor Bowl, the fine print indicated
I needed to maintain my average AS OF THE DATE of the
mailing. No sweat. If it says something about play
requirements on thqat trip the better think twice.

Me? I'd go for it. Try and not put a credit card for
deposit - but that may not be possible. Keep the
offer letter in case you are charged anything, and
stay as low on the radar as possible. I don't charge
anything to the room, never see a host, and try not to
get arrested for drunk and disorderly...(-; You get
the idea.

Just my opinion, I could be wrong...

Good luck!
