Those casino perks can really benefit a gambler if you know how to get them.
It's a wonderful feeling to enter a gambling casino and know the management respects your play. But -- and this is an important but -- the only way to get this information out is by contacting the proper people.
Once you connect with the right channels, you can fly high and save money on your room, meals, drinks and even entertainment.
The best deal I ever received from a casino happened at the Sahara Dunes, a poker room near Lake Elsinore, CA. Owner Nick Notos owned a motel with a pool next to the casino. While he managed the place, he would give players a free room if they played a certain number of hours daily.
I stayed at the motel for months. My room, meals and drinks were covered in return for my action.
You can gain similar perks whether you are a slots player, shoot dice, bet on sports events or play the other table games.
Here's how to get things rolling in your favor. Next time you visit a casino, go to the pit and ask for a casino host. One will be provided to you. Tell them what games you play and they will monitor your action. You will be credited for all your wagers and your action will determine your room rate and other perks.
Be sure to let your host know how many nights you plan to stay at the hotel. Otherwise your room could be sold and you will be forced to evict the premises.
Of course if you are a high roller, casino management will go out of its way to let you fly high. You might even end up in a deluxe suite. It has happened to me and it can happen to you.
A casino has many benefits for people who fly high. You can enjoy the perks of a health club, massage, sauna baths and the weight room. You can also dine iin the expensive restaurants or cafes at no charge if you handle yourself right.
The important thing is to get in touch with the right host and keep up your end of the bargain. You are there to gamble. The casino is there to make your stay pleasant so that you will come back to that casino again and again.
Be sure to get on the casino's email list as well. When things slow down, you might receive an email inviting you to a special free event. It's all part of the game and casinos know how to play it.

Yes, Geno, I have flown high & enjoyed the perks of befriending my casino hosts over the years. I have watched the Superbowl @ Bellagio with Troy Aikmen & Jamie Foxx. I had the delectable treat of fresh oysters on the half shell with Emeril Lagasse shucking behind the bar. I have enjoyed suites in several of the Strip Casinos,...
Yes, Geno, I have flown high & enjoyed the perks of befriending my casino hosts over the years. I have watched the Superbowl @ Bellagio with Troy Aikmen & Jamie Foxx. I had the delectable treat of fresh oysters on the half shell with Emeril Lagasse shucking behind the bar. I have enjoyed suites in several of the Strip Casinos, seen all of the Cirque shows, partied in the green stretch limos with all of my girlfriends after a Bachelorette party, had comped weekends at all of my beloved casinos BUT the very best had to be when my sister went into labor in October 1999. She was early & I thought I still had at least two weeks before I had to be back. I was at the Bellagio with my bestie, her Mom & her Aunt. The two older women were staying at the Desert Inn (gone now) & we drove together in my Durango to Vegas. As soon as we checked in, I showered to get ready for dinner. I never even made it downstairs, before my phone rang ~ my sister was having a baby RIGHT NOW! OMG! I called my casino host to see about helping me find a way to fly home & then have my car stored until I got back because Nellie, nor her Aunt had ever driven on a Freeway before & surely weren't going to now in my truck. Rusty (Exec Casino Host @ Wynn Resorts) pulled all the stops, he booked my flight, had a town car pick me up at LAX & drive me to Orange County where my sister was in labor @ Kaiser Anaheim Hills. She had 36 hours of back labor, and then an emergency C-section. I was thinking, man I could have been in Vegas for at least another day. :) I flew back to Vegas, stayed one more night at Bellagio and drove my guests back home in my Durango, a proud new Auntie Jenna!
