Best Slot Clubs

I have never joined a slot club but obviously that%26#39;s how everyone is getting comped for meals and rooms, etc. I%26#39;m going to Vegas in April (staying at NYNY) and I%26#39;m wondering if there a best casino to join the slot club for that you seem to get the most out of? Also, are points transferrable between hotels if they%26#39;re part of the same company (for example, the MGM/Mirage chain of hotels - could you accumulate points at MGM and use them at Mirage?) Thanks in advance.

I%26#39;m also curious to this as I will be staying at Excalibur but anticipate on doing my gambling at other MGM/Mirage properties. Will my gambling at these properties help with comps at Excalibur?



Best Slot Clubs


Yes, you can play at any of the MGM properties and acquire points. (There are 12 of them). You will only need one card to do this. I play at Station properties and all the points are accumulated on one card, regardless of where I play. This is also true of Coast Casinos. As far as perks go, each group has their own point value that can be redeemed. Some points are accumulated on $1/1 pt; $10/1 pt; etc. It depends on whose property it is; ditto for redemptions. Some are harder to gain points than others. My suggestion is each time you have the opportunity to sign up for a slot card, do so. They all have benefits. You can also use some of them for table games. You show your card to the floor when you begin to play blackjack or whatever, and they keep track of the points for you. Ask at the players club booth. (Of course, it all really depends on how much you gamble.) You can also sign up for a card through MGM online, just go to

Best Slot Club %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; All Casinos.





We give you a card %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt; you give us all your money in exchange




We like Harraha%26#39;s because we live near Atlantic City and gain more comps that way. We also like MGM because we play in NY NY a lot.





Get them all they usually have promo%26#39;s. Points add up on the cards no matter what casino you use (meaning chain).





Yes if you have an MGM card and play at MGM all the time but want to eat at Gallagher%26#39;s in NY NY and use your comps you can.








Here%26#39;s my thought on Patron%26#39;s post..... If you go to Disney and spend all your money, do they send you an offer to come back for 3 free nights at their hotel or give you any free food?



If you play anyway, might as well get the comps! I can%26#39;t really say what the BEST slot club is, they all comp differently!




So what happens if we%26#39;re staying at NYNY and have a MGM/Mirage card, but want to eat at the Mandalay Bay Buffet with comps? It%26#39;s a different hotel so they can%26#39;t charge it to the room, right? Do we ask the cashier before paying for the buffet if we have enough points for a discount?




you can charge a mandalay buffet to the mgm room you are staying in. It could get comped at the end of your trip.





Which is the best club? Well Harrahs expect you to show up and play frequently, as their points expire every 6 months so you either take frequent trips, hit other Harrahs locations in other cities or get stuck using a harrahs credit card. MGM has an 18 month expiration on points, a huge difference.




MGM/Mirage is better for on the spot comps (meaning comping room and etc for the current trip), HET aka Harrahs is better for come back comps (meaning sending comped room offers for future visit).





For me they both have their pros and cons and I am very lucky to live within an hour of a property for each of them, so the points expiring does not bother me as I can go anytime.





As far as MGM/Mirage if you are looking for a night or food comps they do have different point levels for this for each of their hotels. MGM Grand is 1000 for a buffet and 3700 or 3800 for one night. Now if you get a person in a good mood they may waive this when they look at your play, which often happens for me.




I have a question in relation to this...



when an earlier poster said points are accumulated $1/1 pt, $10/1pt, etc., does that mean that at some places, for each dollar you bet on a slot machine, you get one point, but some places, you may have to bet $10 before you get a point? I looked all over the MGM websites to try and figure out how much you have to bet to earn each ';point'; but all it says is that each point is worth a penny (which I%26#39;m assuming means that if I have 1200 points I have $12 to free play/cashback/whatever, not that each penny I bet gets me a point.. I wish, right? :) ). So do you just have to go find out at each machine how much you get pointwise for your bets?
