Here's a recipe for how to get RFB+ treatment at the Boardwalk, speaking from personal experience:

1) Start off by bringing $5k to Vegas, and carrying it around with you everywhere so it begins to burn a hole in your pocket.

2) Start drinking double rum-n-cokes EARLY.

3) Run through about 8 $100 buyins in a weak NLHE game when you achieve appropriate drunkeness level.

4) Continue drinking double rum-n-cokes.

5) Go back to the Boardwalk, where you are staying, for some $5 craps.

6) Make a complete ass out of yourself with your friends as you yell at the top of your lungs on every roll. Lose a couple hundo here over the course of an hour of frequent, stiff drinks.

7) Slide into a seat at an empty BJ table. Begin with $25 bets. Lose consistently, and make a point of insulting the dealer every time you lose. Even go so far as to insult dealers at other games who keep giving you the eye because you are shouting these horrific insults at top volume. This is important--you want to leave a searing image of yourself in the pit boss's memory... more to come on that. Keep ordering double rum-n-cokes, but begin to complain that they aren't strong enough. Suggest to the CTW that she bring you a glass of rum and a can of coke, that you'll fix the drink yourself.

8) When you sense that the hazy blackoutishness is beginning, step your bet up to $500-600. 15 minutes later, storm back to your room demanding to know who stole your other $4000 in a fit of drunken rage.

9) Pass out.

10) When you wake up (following morning), check with the player's club to find out how many comp dollars you racked up during the fit of badassery yesterday. Be really surprised when they tell you, "$20".

11) Instruct them that you lost over $4k to their sh!tty casino, and you'll be damned if you're going to only get $20 back in comps. They'll direct you to the pit boss. This is important: BE SURE TO TALK TO THE PIT BOSS WHO WAS ON DUTY WHEN YOU WERE DRUNK BLOWING OFF ALL THAT CASH.

12) He will know you by name. The dealers will all be shooting you glares. The pit boss will tell you that you only earned $20 in comps because you were betting high for only 15 minutes. However, since you are a "fast player" he will eventually set up a meeting between you and the casino host.

13) You and your friends will go have lunch on the house while the casino host comes from home (where the pit boss contacted her) to meet you.

14) Casino host will comp your room, give you & friends multiple bottles of high-quality liqour, set up a comped limo ride to the airport later that evening, hook you all up with awesome/ridiculous Boardwalk windbreakers, and basically imply that future visits will operate in similar fashion.

15) You will feel pretty studly, but with a tinge of fear due to the sense that you are being roped into a very unhealthy lifestyle.

Any questions?
