does palms ever honor other reward club offers?
Quote: zippyboyCosmo does it, because they're the New Kid on the Block. Why would an established casino like Palms grant you extra benefits just because you've been loyal to the competition for years before coming to them, and asking for a freebie?
You wouldn't expect it as casino policy, but why wouldn't the Palms, or anyone selse, want to poach a good customer from the competition?
My advice is to ask at the Palms player club kiosk. If that results in nothng, then look for a host and ask. The worst that can happen is they'll say no.

Like, "you should reward me coz I been giving THEM so much action". Not only would they say 'no', but they'd say 'hell no', then laugh and roll their eyes.
The Maloofs are on the verge of bankruptcy and should be desperate to poach talent from their competition to either keep the casino or improve the books for a sale. AFAIK, this casino is among the worst on the strip in terms of getting killed by the economy. Any means necessary...
Similarly, I wonder if it's better to hand a pit boss the player's card by itself, or on a key ring with a dozen other casino's player's cards attached.

I hand out individual cards. That way if they lose it, or I forget it, I lose only one card rather than many. But at my level of play, no pit boss will be impressed that I've many cards. beisdes, I already need two key rings for them (Strip and off-Strip)
I've been the beneficiary of a few, as have friends and acquaintances.
They can be VERY palmy if you are in their good graces at the time.
It is worth contacting a host, or the players club at very least.
(By the way, they do poach from other casinos, or at least have in the past. My friend, who had no play there at all, got an come-on offer including an insane amount of resort credit -- I think $500).
Teddy, any suggestions on how I approach this?
Can't give you much advice, since I am not usually proactive but rather passive with casino offers. Just be honest; they will give you an idea of how much play it will take to get a certain level of blah blah blah. I think they are pretty forward about that. It might be worthwhile to bring up your MLife offers, but it may also fall upon deaf ears if you have no history of play with them at all.Quote: seviayTeddy, any suggestions on how I approach this?

Something about the name Vladimir makes me think that he will break your knee caps if you try to pull a fast one on him... You might want to make sure that you give his casino some action if you are able to get a free room out of him.

I knew several guys in Baltimore who arranged Vegas junkets in the 50's. One of these was Tony Baldoni. His claim to fame was going 3 rounds with Archie Moore in an exhibition fight. His appropriate nickname was Tony the Jawbreaker. As a few welchers found out.

I'm definitely not one to bilk something for free under false pretenses. If I got an offer to stay there, I would definitely stay there. I'd like to put in some hours at their VP, but I always stay on the strip, and I don't want to cab/bus/walk all the way out there. I like to gamble close to "home."

Thanks, Teddy. I'll shoot him an email...don't worry, I won't mention you (unless you think there's some reason)
Quote: gofaster87Don't get too caught up in the comps. Play and stay where you will enjoy yourself the most and the comps will come if your play warrants it. If they dont at least you can say you did it your way.
I'm not chasing comps in this case...I just want a good reason to stay there and would play a lot of their VP. I'd rather stay comped (or very cheap) nights on the strip at an MGM property than pay the normal rate to stay at the Palms, however.
