Players Club Break Down

Make sure you click on the little arrows before each section to bring down more content. Its easier to get around that way.

For your viewing pleasure I have broken down and rated the most popular clubs on the Las Vegas Strip. Some good, some bad.

The trick to getting the most comps for your play is to just play in the casino where you are booked. Several casinos on the strip use the same players club card. MGM, NY NY, Monte Carlo, Excalibur, Mandalay Bay, Aria, Bellagio, Luxor and the Mirage. If you stay at, say Aria, and find yourself casino hopping at least do it at another one of the MGM casinos. That way you rack up tier credits that day in the same club. BUT Mlife hurts you when you hop.

You get credit, but their own casinos are set up to compete against each other. Say you play through $9K that day, $1K at each casino. Your bounce back offer will only have you rated at $1K. If you just sat in Aria and played through the same money your offers will be based on $9K of play. And your host, if you have one, will only get credit on your play in their casino. You will still get credit but they wont. Your corporate offers will still be strong but the property specific ones are usually the best an that takes gambling action in that casino only.

Now the CET casinos are set up completely differently. Planet Hollywood, Caesars Palace, The Linq, Harrah's, Rio, The Flamingo, O'sheas, Paris & Ballys. Any play at any of those joints is all lumped together. So the same $1K gambled through at each place would net you $9K in comps. CET doesn't care which of their casinos you play in. They just want you in town. And your host, as long as they are the one to book your room, will get credit on all of your play as long as its in one of their casinos.

No matter where you play the casinos treat the slot player the best. Well unless you are a huge whale that sits at a table for 12 hours a day with stacks of $5,000 chips. I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you are not a whale. I cant see many whales reading my shitty blog trying to figure things out. So play slots (which have the highest house edge and thus why they are more generous with the bounce back offers) but play the right slots.

The newest penny games are probably the worst thing to gamble on in the casino. Payback can be as low as 80% in Las Vegas. So for every $100 you gamble thru you can pretty much expect to see $20 vanish unless you get lucky. Go find the oldest, most beat up, dollar slot machine you can find. If its survived on the floor this long surely people must still be playing it. 10-15 years ago dollar slot payback was around 94-96%. Thats a $6-$4 loss per hundo. With odds like that you will get triple as many spins in for the same expected loss. That means more gambling for less money and you will earn comps that much easier!

I hold an M Life Platinum card, as well as a Total Rewards Diamond card. All from my play in Vegas. Considering I only get into town 3-4 times a year lately I move up in the food chain pretty fast. Check out these brief reviews of benefits and see what club seems right to you.
