Comp Question

I am staying at Paris next week and was wondering if some of the more experienced Total Rewards members could help me out. I am only gold card holder but I have played enough to get our room for the weekend comped, but I am wondering how getting food, etc comped works?

Do you have to use your Rewards points at the time of purchase? For example, do you pay with your rewards card when you eat? Or do you just charge everything to your room and work it out at check out?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Comp Question

HI! Just got back from Paris......hope I can help you...

All you need to do is charge EVERYTHING to your room.....(meals, shows, etc.)that is associated w/ HET properties. You can eat at Caesar%26#39;s, Flamingo, Bally%26#39;s....etc. and still put on room at Paris. Then before you check-out, go to the Diamond check-in and talk to a host. There are always two hosts on duty...with desks right in the check-in area. The host will look at your play, and determine what charges can be removed. HOWEVER, they will use your accumulated reward credits (comps) first before they take off additional complimentaries.

HAVE FUN!!! Good luck!!

Comp Question

Charge it to your room and they will use points to pay for it at check out. Very easy.

You really don%26#39;t need to speak to a host. They will only comp what you have points for anyway. This can be done at check out.

Thanks for all the quick feedback.

Vegasdragon is right....you DON%26#39;T have to talk to a host, the regular check out clerk can deduct your RC%26#39;s toward your final bill.

HOWEVER.....the last time I was at Paris, I had accumulated over $400 of RC%26#39;s. My host told me that even if I hadn%26#39;t had that much ';comp money'; to spend, that he would have deducted all my charges anyway. (NO, I did not accumulate $400 of RC%26#39;s on just that trip....it was my total from previous trips, as well.

Anyway....my theory is.....it never hurts to ask!

This is for Texas:

I have been staying at Paris/Ballys the last 6 years or so.

Before it went over to Total Rewards I used to get lots of comps over the RC%26#39;s at checkout.

Since Total Rewards I gets lots of free offers for rooms and still collect RC%26#39;s at about the same rate but they hardly budge on anything over the RC%26#39;s at checkout.

Now I am no high roller (or medium roller) but do spend my share at the tables and/or slots.

Has anyone else noticed a big chance of comps over the RC%26#39;s with Total Rewards?

I think I have like $95 in RC going into this trip from playing at Harrah%26#39;s Rincon in San Diego so I was thinking of using that to eat, etc this trip.

To see how much $$$ I have for the trip is it $1 = 100 RC?

Always, ALWAYS talk to the host.Don%26#39;t just talk to them, make friends with them. These people have much power to comp as they see fit.

yes, bball....for example 3,425 would be $34.25. You can swipe your card at restaurants and gift shops at the time of purchase, but I just always put it on the room and deal with it all at the end of my stay.

And.....YES!! YES!! YES!! Nonfiction diction.......the comps s**k now, compared to when they weren%26#39;t Total Rewards. I used to get all kinds of perks and $$$ in the mail....those days are all but gone. The comp value is out the roof. You have to lose tons of money just to get a sandwich! I remember the days when I would play a while, then get hungry....go to a host and say that I%26#39;m hungry and get a voucher for a meal for two at any restaurant! HA! Those days are LONG gone. I sure do miss them.

Thanks Texas.

I was thinking the same thing.

Have you changed to a new family of casinos?

What do you recommend.
