Player's Cards

How important are these? Should I get one from every casino I go to? I%26#39;m not much into slots, but I will drop about 50 bucks into them before I get mad - Atlantic City.

I%26#39;ve been reading a lot around here and I%26#39;m thinking I can get free stuff if I go get it and where do I get them from in the casinos?

If you%26#39;ve got the time to sign up for them, you might as well. Many casinos in Vegas give perks for signing up, such as matchplays, coupon books, etc. I believe Planet Hollywood does $25 in free play after you earn 4 points on your card ($90 worth of play, if I recall)... don%26#39;t know if they%26#39;re still doing it, since I haven%26#39;t been there in a while. Sahara has a coupon book with matchplays. A few places give food discounts with the card (such as the $0.99 Shrimp Cocktail with player%26#39;s card if you head downtown).

There%26#39;s no downside to getting one, really, unless you%26#39;d rather wait and hope for a better ';new signup'; promotion... which is probably a waste.

Putting any amount of play on the card will at minimum get the attention of marketing, and they%26#39;ll hopefully send you some offers to see what kind of player you are. Lots of stories here about people putting $20 into the slots at Wynn or Venetian and then getting offers for two free nights for no apparent reason. Once they came back and played a bit more, the offers stopped... but hey... once is good!

pardon me for adding a question in someone else%26#39;s post but do you sign up for the player%26#39;s cards on line or when you get to the casinos?

cateyescan-either way. In person, or online.

I always sign up at the casino to make sure I%26#39;m getting whatever I should be getting. That said, most casinos only allow you to sign up when you get there; very few have online signups as far as I%26#39;m aware.

You can sign up online,www.playersclub.com for the MGM/Mirage properties card, and the Venetian/Palazzo%26#39;s club grazie on their website.

There are different incentives offered at different times for signing up in person, ie.,freeplay, etc.

I didn%26#39;t check to see if you can sign up for the HET reward card online.

You can sign up online but you still gotta be at the Casino to pick up the card, they%26#39;ll never mail it to you. It just speeds up the process by a couple of mins by signing up online. So might as well do it in person, hand them your ID and they take care of the rest.

Most casinos will only rate your play at the tables if your bet is a minimum of $25 a bet so low rollers need not apply. However, they do rate every penny you put in the slot machines. Its good to have your name in the system so you can offers in the mail. Now I wouldn%26#39;t even sit at a slot machine without my players card.

And PH will give you free slot play after 4 points which is $40.

Get them. You never know how many freebies they%26#39;ll send you later.

I gambled $100 and so did the wife in Caesars once, and they%26#39;re still sending me free room offers at HET properties.

Definitely get a Wynn card. I signed up last year and gambled a little bit and got the 2 free buffets they were offering at the time. I only gambled at Wynn for maybe an hour or so and no crazy amounts of money.

The kicker here is that I started receiving free room offers from Wynn several months ago and after ignoring them for a few months, they upped the ante to 3 free nights at Encore (during the week) and $300 in free slot play, which I just took them up on.

Now this is an extreme example but it never hurts to sign up because you never know what kind of offers you may receive down the road.

I echo all. Sign up for Player Culb (MGM?Mirage), Rewards Card Harrah%26#39;s properties, Club Grazie for V and Palzzo and Wynn%26#39;s red card.

With the exception of Planet Hollowod (has its own) you will be surprised at the offers that follow and surpised when checking out you may get meal(s) of other room charges discounted or comped in todays market.

My wife %26amp; I have MGM/Mirage Players cards and we plan to use them while playing the slots/tables in their properties.

Is it best advice to charge all meals %26amp; drinks etc to our room in the hope that some may comp%26#39;d?

Also, is it possible for us to find out what comps we are collecting as we go along or do we have to wait until check-out and hope for the best?
