[@vegasprogambler5336]

sure, but ive not had a bill for ANYTHING hotel related (room, food, booze, SOME clothes, etc) my vacations in Vegas for over ten years. and we go 10 times or more a year. and its not SPEND $50,000..... its RISK $50,000...so its more like $5,000 lost on average.

Its not 50k, with about an 85% payback rate, maybe still walk with 42500 or break even or win. Some people betting 100-500 a spin, adds up quiick Video poker, some players in video poker can have a 98% play rate.

Thanks for the great tips! I just tried my first status match in Philly at the Live casino a few months ago... apparently because it was after midnight I was considered to have '3 visits' to the casino (and it had to be status matched in the first '2 visits') lesson learned. 1) I need to start gambling earlier in the night. 2) I need to carry around every single rewards card with me at all times. I now have an extra wallet just for gambling cards! 😂

[@WEBUYUGLYAUTOS]

as long as he does not get comprised by the casino I seen this one video of a woman tuber in Vegas and was at the Plaza hotel she did admit she got a comp for her stay but i not see how anyone that gets a comp doing a review could EVER be honest. To make my point the Plaza is a time share hotel as well and she not mentioned at ALL that the time share guys waiting by the front door will con you into a time share. They even went as far when i was there to make it sound they WORK for the casino they DO NOT. When the tuber failed to mention this at all you know the PROS and CONS i never watched her again

[@Ohrami]

For anyone unfamiliar with the terminology, "coin-in" is how much you need actually spin through a slot machine, regardless of payback. If you do a $1 spin, that's $1 of coin-in, regardless if you win $0 or $1 million. Typically, Vegas slots have roughly 80% return to the player (some of the lowest in the country) on the low-stakes stuff, meaning every time you wager $1, you are expected to have $0.80 returned to you, losing you $0.20. This means that every time he mentions "coin-in", you can divide it by 5 to figure out how much it would cost you on average at low stakes, and by about 10 if you're playing in a high limit room. Some casinos outside of Vegas offer very high returns between 95-98%, but Vegas slots are incredibly tight.

[@rushgeddy8375]

google the casino company annual report, it often gives the slot hold. I have to differ with you. Many of the Strip casinos hold 95 cents (5% house favor) of every dollar you cycle through. Dice table has about 1% house advantage, roulette about 5%....So why do you lose more than that at the dice table? Because you keep cycling money through over and over. So in the end, at the dice table, casino statistics show that if you buy in for 1000, you walk away from the table with 750

[@mikeo.2872]

Caesars and some of the other properties my offer 3x, 5x, 15x or more Tier Credit Multipliers during certain parts of the year. This could reduce the amount of "coin-in" that Jacob referred to with each card. For example, 3x to 15x Tier Credit Multiplier at my local Caesars property Monday, Jan 15th 2024. If I get the 15x, I may sit and play some but already Elite for 2024. May wait and dig into the FoundersCard for 2025 and beyond. Also in Feb 11, 2024 same local Caesars casinos are offering 3x - 7x Tier Credit Multiplier. Always seems to happen in Jan and Feb - early in the year when they want to pull people in to start earning for 2025. There's also Reward Credit Multipliers which can be converted to FreePlay ( / 100 / 2 = FreePlay). Example here, local Horseshoe (Iowa), has up to 24x Reward Credit Multiplier on Tuesdays and Thursdays in January (2024). During Christmas, I received 25x Reward Credit Multiplier and after a weekend of hitting the slots, over $200 in Free Play. MGM (mLife) on the other hand will offer 10-30% more points a couple of times of year, but unless you're local, timing isn't always perfect as I may have already been there on a trip or scheduled after the offer. Last years change (2023) in the mLife makes it almost impossible to maintain Platinum status even with using the MGM CC (defaults to Gold). Venetian is probably the easiest to get to a platinum or Elite level without shelling out $10k. Room offers and many times $125-$200 in Free Play with each visit (after hitting Elite of course). BTW... never seen 80% return any time or any year that I have been going to Vegas. Always in the hole and play pennies to high limit. Maybe just unlucky. If you can stop after the first 20-60 mins, you may easily see the 80-90% return. ;-)

[@HyenaEmpyema]

Where did you get your data to say the RTP is only 80%?

[@Ohrami]

@ Some games allow the operator to see the RTP in a certain screen. With a bit of social engineering, you can get slot attendants to show that screen to you. I saw many games in the range of 82-85%. I am simplifying here by saying 80%. In some parts of the US, you'll find the RTP of even the worst-paying machines is around 92%. I'm not sure why it varies so drastically between regions, since I'm pretty sure the vast majority of gamblers can't tell the difference, and their superstitions will tell them what machine or strategy is working the best.

It was nice and clean but I didn’t like their casino. Would love to see suites with separate bedroom from the other areas or even a two bedroom suites. I’ve heard that the suites at Planet Hollywood are huge. Any chance we can get that type of video! Please and thank you.

So besides that first earning period… how do you maintain all those levels for each rewards club year after year? You answered for Caesar’s, but what about the others? I don’t think the do continuous tier matching??

[@ryanwright4686]

You don’t. Unless you get the points needed you will go back to the lowest level afterwards. I matched my mgm platinum to caesars diamond and the following year I dropped to their lowest level and could not match again. I did see in this video about the founders card being an option but 495-595 isn’t worth it to me.

Both Fountaine Bleu and Resorts World do matching, but there is a caveat. Not all the benefits are available at first attaining the card. For example, the airfare reimbursement is not available until you earn the status.

[@CashWhisperer]

Some of the cruise ships are status matching with the casinos to upgrade your cruises too.

[@AllTradesGeorge]

Do these other places status match each other, or just with Caesar's? If they match each other, you could string this out for a while...get the Station card, go to Caesar's...a few weeks before your Caesar's card expires, match ot somewhere else...before that one expires, match it somewhere else...keep going through the rotation... Seems like a good way to extend your benefits and spread out your Vegas experiences...

I got my Caesar's Diamond status match differently via the hotel route. I first status matched my Marriott Platinum status to Wyndham. Then I status matched my Wyndham to Caesars. I think at the time which was a few years ago, Caesar's also gave me $200 to spend on property on dinner.

[@hugofigueroa1292]

They won't do that anymore. You have to be platinum caesars before they status match from Wyndham.

[@Marti60628]

It's important to note that Caesars will provide status upgrades to those with a military ID or CAC. Don't forget your military followers.

I have a question for you. I'm a low roller. I go to Vegas 6-8 times a year and gamble around 20-25k per year at a few different properties. I figure if I stay and play with just one company to get maximum reward benefits, which one would you recommend for someone on my level???

[@NatePaddock]

Another tip: active duty military and veterans can get Platinum at the Wynn and Caesars perpetually. MGM has a military card that gets you to Pearl, but it might be worth trying to use the Platinum or higher status of another casino to see if you can get a higher status match.

[@ObsessedWithPool]

Wynn doesn't have military Platinum now

Rent being only 1,500 a month in Las Vegas is unbelievable. In Oregon they raised mine to 1,800 with 200 more in utilities. If I tried to apply for this apartment now I'd need a 68k a year salary to even get a 700 sq ft unit. It also doesn't help it's impossible to find a job that pays over 30k here. I had no idea Vegas in comparison was so cheap. Just blows my mind.
