Vegas Comps Declining?

[bhp374]

My friends and I go to Vegas annually during the first weekend of the NCAA tourney. In years past, we have been able to take advantage of execellent comps, i.e. free rooms, $400 bar tabs on house, etc. We are in the process of planning this year's trip and are running into diminished comps, even though our combined bankroll is larger than it used to be. With the exception of our big player ($10,000) the rest of us can't even get a free room (maybe casino rate).

Part of this may be a result of my group's transition from table games to poker tables, but it seems as though Vegas is simply giving away less than it used to. As such, we are not necessarily as loyal as we used to be and are shopping around using a casino host.

Anyway, I have a few questions:

Is this a trend others have experienced?

Do any Vegas casinos offer a poker rate (the ones I have called do not)?

Which casinos offer the best comp values?

Thanks.
