It probably varies based on your play and host.
My host was assigned a few years back, I average ~ 20-25k tier points a year.
My experience though has been that my host is pretty useless. I think that everyone who is diamond gets a host, I imagine that hosts have tons of diamond people. They seem to be more of a direct hotline to talk to someone then anything else.
- He called me first time to introduce himself and then asked if i wanted to book a trip as he had some good offers for me, i was thinking great, then he basically just read some of the standard offers i saw online on my account, nothing special.
- I called him some time later saying that i wanted to come out, hoping they would offer me something good, more than what was offered online on my account, but he basically just asked where i wanted to stay and i asked about offers, again he offered nothing special or above what i saw online.
-I called my host 3 months ago, i was planning a trip for end of September this year for myself, my dad and my brother. I explained to him that i was looking for a room that was bigger, maybe one with a pull out couch so we could sleep all 3 of us comfortably. He recommended the RIO, I said we want to stay on the strip. He told me i would need to 3x-4x my level of play to get that on the strip. I wound up instead booking an offer i had with MLfie as their website shows the layout of the room you are booking so we got a room from mlife with 2 beds and a couch.
At least for my level of play the host hasn't offered me anything above what I can book myself through the TR website, i guess the only advantage is if i wanted to call and book something i can do it directly through him instead of through their normal phone line, but that really doesn't do anything for me.
I would imagine you get more from a host if you have a higher level of play but for basic diamond it seems not really helpful. Maybe others have had different experiences but that is mine.
