I , & assume many, have put up with CET for far too long, not because I prefer their AC properties, but because I also frequent Vegas often & enjoy the easy reciprocity of rooms & comps, tier etc.

So, I wanted to ask any Borgata, Golden nugget, Trop/ etc fans if they could provide the latest ins & outs for Vegas benefits, for those of us still wearing the CET "golden Handcuffs" (as I believe, Howard Hughes?, once put it) .

Tropicana AC has announced in all their January calendars that starting April, qualifying players can get nights at the Cosmo and Carnival Cruises.

Obviously they are trying to directly compete with CET which gives their assortment of hotels and cruises on Norwegian.

This should be just what you are looking for.

Tx- I read something about that - anybody know if that's going to be an automatic benefit -or an occasional thing like the NCL/CET cruises?- and/or any talk of Cosmo & Trop linking accts?

Not that I would ever take advantage of it, but my host at the Golden Nugget came from the Golden Nugget Las Vegas when they took over the Trump Marina and told me that he could arrange for my rooms there.
I was told that the GN LV and the GN AC are separate entities, but I may have been misled. Even though their websites look the same and they both have the 24karat Club, there's no where online you can look up your balances on the LV site, as far as I can see.
Landry's owns the GN LV and I'm not sure if they own the GN LV.

Here's a tip to generate an unsolicited upfront comp -on a 1 time basis. I posted somewhere earlier on this thread that 1 of the ways unknown Hosts find you is through the casino credit database, which is shared by all participating Casinos.

I recently applied online to Atlantis, Bahamas for credit & was approved there.

I didn't go to Atlantis- just got new credit.

Within a month the new SLS Vegas sent me a very generous unsolicited offer .

desperate for decent startup customers -Guess they liked the Atlantis demographic - even though I haven't played there in years & swore I never would again- (""free""! rooms cost $200 /nite taxes & mandatory gratuities).

So even if you don't like having casino credit, apply online to a casino you'll never goto, & it could be well worth your while

I don't think you will ever - that's EVER - get me on another Carnival cruise. If you go with that option, try to see if they'll put you on Holland America or even Princess. They own 7 cruise lines, including those, and Carnival is a cattle cruise with bad food. Cheap cruises, yes, but all activities and amenities are at about Super8/Pizza Hut level, made for families who like hot dogs, pizza, beer, and group silliness. And yes, some do, and that's fine, but almost any cruise line is better, several in the same price range.

Pretty sure MGM is lined up with Royal Caribbean like CET is with NCL.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Yeah, a friend of mine went on a carnival cruise and said exactly this. He described as a bunch of fatasses who want to spend a week stuffing their face with cheap buffet food.
