Some publicly traded companies offer some fun incentives or giveaways for their stockholders. For example, Wrigley's gives shareholders free gum and Anheuser-Busch gives discounts to their theme parks, etc.
Does anyone know if any of the casino companies offer something? Maybe some matchplay coupons or something?

I sincerely doubt it, but if you find out, let me know. I'm currently long on MGM, LVS, and WYNN. Have taken a beating to the tune of about 13% since February, whoops! Some match play coupons would help lessen the sting...

Maybe a hotel comp for shareholder meetings?

The closest you'll get to a casino stock that gives perks, and they are not real close to casino stocks, would be CHDN (Churchill Downs) and RCL ( Royal Caribbean). CHDN gives free general admission to holders of more than some minimum of shares and RCL gives food and beverage credits. One can gamble on horses and aboard a cruise ship, so I guess that makes them close to a casino stock.
No more gum for Wrigley's shareholders since it was bought by MARS, inc. four or so years ago, as MARS, inc. is privately held.
Also, with the stocks I've held or currently hold that give perks, one must hold the certificate or hold the shares with the company, shares held in a brokerage account don't get perks. Don't know if this is true across the board, but it is for MCD and IBM.
