Just for the record my comps are a week at a time at the Monte Carlo, Nugget, Rio and Wynn’s to name a few haven't paid for a suite, food, spa or shows for many years. I average up-front $400 in cash or chip offers per visit. Play 80% craps and the rest blackjack. Must be doing something right.

I've learned to exploit the system to the fullest on the least amount of money and change and learn something different every visit. Most trips are very profitable, but on losing trips I try keep my losses at $500, but with the comps and up-front money/chips received usually I'm still ahead on those trips.... less the wife's shopping spree(s).

Free Rooms are comps no matter how you coat it. Comps are part of your win/loss ratio..... nuf said.
