Derpy question- anyone have history with mgm where they can comment on this? Ok so I get solid room comp deals from lower end properties and maybe 1-2 mid tier (think like park mgm and mgm grand). Anyone have an idea how these comps work over time? I kinda spewed a lot this year at mgm due to a gambling windfall earlier in the year and didn’t mind losing a bit while playing video poker/ craps bc I can write off some losses (lol I know). So I got solid room comp deals kinda but mostly low props like Excalibur. Can I expect these rates if I don’t degen as hard as I did this year? I’ll go to mgm properties this year, play some cash, do minimal table game punting and low level video poker. I will come nowhere close to my loss or gamble coin in this year. Any risk of losing comps? I assume I’ll always get Excalibur/ Luxor deals bc they seem easy to be comped for bc rooms are so cheap and ratty. I just want to be able to do vegas for fairly cheap with hotel if I got for wsop I guess or wsop+ another weekly trip for mtts. Thanks for any thoughts on topic- I know people here don’t know but I assume people have better history than me with comp rooms.
Btw only good thing I have going for me I guess is I’ll stay at mgm properties for AC and I kinda splurge on food like fancy dinners at mgm properties when I go. I doubt these go far but already have a trip planned for AC at borgata in January and maybe verges Xmas weekend.
I’ve stayed at park mgm before also. I guess this adds to thread. I found the hotel ok but the room was kinda meh. I would stay there again but thought the room was kinda small and boring. Nothing wrong- for me i don’t have high standards for a room when I’m going to be gambling and just need a safe place to sleep- I found park room light years ahead of Excalibur. I would avoid Excalibur on any future stays unless it’s only place I get free rooms lol.
1. MGM properties reset their offers once a month , usually on the 1st day of the month , if not near the end.
So say you KNOW you wont give much action on your next trip , book all the rooms before the end of the month that you will need for the next 6-7 months now, the downside to that is that your slot offer wont be good on the second visit on but the resort credit and comped room will be and you can always cancel and rebook if you noticed your offers stayed the same by checking other weeks in that month
2. if you do end up with lower properties , tip a 20 and ask for a stay well room, its cleaned much much better , that 20 will also get you a room upgrade with most check in attendants, just look at what room you booked and ask if they have that next level available (call it by its proper name)
3. usually it takes TWO bad trips for them to really lower offers but its usually , so stick to #1 , also , AC offers are much more sensitive to not getting action.
4. say you need to stay for over a week in vegas and wanna do mgm , you wanna book 4 days leave 3 open and then book 4 days again, that way 8 of your 11 days are comped .
