The Mirage Casino offers an $89 poker player rate. I believe it works on any night. They do expect a certain number of hours at the table, but I don't know what that is. Give them a call.

The Bellagio also has a weekday poker rate of approx. $119 per night. Call the poker room for more info.

Also remember that if you're going in the next couple months, the rates are extremely cheap (cheaper than the poker rates in most cases) because of the terrorist attacks and lack of tourism. In fact, I just cancelled my poker reservation at Mirage because the regular rates are cheaper.

Check out the Monte Carlo poker rate (it's 59 bucks, I think). Also, just look around for inexpensive deals anywhere now. See ya when you get here.

So how does this work exactly? You call them up and tell them you want to stay at their hotel and play poker there. They give you a special rate. Then what? When you go to the poker room you check in and tell then you are on a special rate and they track your hours played? Do you have to play at a certain limit or above?


On a similar note, I hear about good casino patrons getting comps for say playing so many hours of blackjack with a certain average bet size. My understanding is that you have to ask to get rated and then ask for comps. Do poker rooms comp their players (I always get the feeling we are at the bottom of the food chain as far as casino's are concerned since all we do is drive the rake)? If so, how does that work (I assume it is different by location, but I also assume there are some basic things to know)? And exactly how much do you have to beg for your buffet comp or whatever?

Wiscer, my experience is that you book a room as usual. You make sure they have a casino rate or poker rate. They quote you the full price when you check in. Then you introduce yourself in the poker room and ask that they give you the rate. They expect a certain amount of play and will tell you what it is. I have not gotten the rate at Bellagio or the Mirage, as I can usually get a better rate somewhere else, although I will end up playing at the Mirage or Bellagio when I stay somewhere else. My experience is that the Orleans is loose on playing requirements, other places tougher. The Monte Carlo that Pokerbabe mentioned is a good place to stay, although the rate even with a poker rate will be higher than $59 most of the time. The Monte Carlo carefully tracked our play and wanted 6 hours a day for the room. (My wife's play counted too of course, so it was 6 hours between us.) The games are all low-limit at the Monte Carlo, but it is a nice hotel and you can take the tram to the Bellagio for higher limit games.


Food comps vary. The worse the place the easier the comps in my experience. Orleans will track your play on a card and give you a certain amount per hour like prison wages level.(It beats a poke in the eye, don't get me wrong) Binions will give you a comp most of the time, but you will ask yourself why you bothered.If the Nevada Palace still has a room you can probably score a comp. :-)
