Since becoming a local in some casinos I've started to get offers for a free gift if I show up on a certain day. They range from useless (food steamers) to pretty damn useful (trunk organizer). Of course they aren't +EV by any means but it's always nice to get something you were planning on using or buying. What are some cool/crappy crap you've gotten?
Useful:
Chamosis mop with handle
Palms Tshirt
Tool set
Neck pillow

Id say the one thing I got as a gift from a casino Ive actually got more use out of then anything was a manicure kit... of all things. As long as my nails keep growing I think Ill keep using it.

I once got a nice set of champagne glasses, coincidentally it was my birthday and I needed them! Very nice!
The most worthless gift? The Horseshoe gave out these donut-hole-on-a-stick maker. I would have really liked it if I were 8 years old, but even then I wasn't into sweets that much. Kind of reminded me of the corn-baller on Arrested Development. Dios Mio!

I met one of my girlfriends at a craps table at Caesars. Now, that was real value.

Gas gift cards are nice.

The best casino crap is always cash or free play. I was at a high limit room and the machine I wanted was down, so I let a person know and credited $100 in free play for the inconvenience, which I thought was nice.
I'm going to start to find a bunch of broken machines in high limit rooms more often. Maybe give a couple a nudge or punch them out lol.

Now that is a great casino gift. Sure beats fuzzy dice or whatever craps crap casinos give out.

The most useful I got was my first DVD player - which was quite cheap so sadly broke fairly quickly. The local casino for me quite often holds a draw system, you collect tickets and at the end of the quarter there's a competition for a car or holiday. You get tickets for going in, changing money, buying meals etc. The best "gift" was a Blackjack Joker scheme which allowed one bet of £25 per day and paid 2-1 if it, or a double but not splits, won - very interesting strategy - and I was quite lucky with it. The worst gift was a karaoke tape machine which remains unopened and I haven't got round to throwing away yet.Quote: djatc...free gift if I show up on a certain day...

Good:
Gas cards
$50 CASH (cash money not free play)
Really nice set of pots and pans 1 piece per day for 4 weeks
A nice soft throw blanket
Reusable shopping bags
Bad:
t-shirts
more t-shirts that are WAY too big
ugly t-shirts
cheap crap (retail value $39!!!) that you can buy at the swap meet for $10 or less
plastic piggy bank
coffee cups although it's kind of cool to look at ones that are now 20 years old

I got free Pumpkin Pies (2 of them) for Thanksgiving one year.
Now that I think about it, not sure if it was good or bad :)
I guess at the end of the day, what you put in is what you get out....relative to the players club program of course :)

Free key ring from a downtown slots parlor many decades ago. Still rankles. It was such an obvious rip-off.Quote: djatcThey range from useless to pretty damn useful. What are some cool/crappy crap you've gotten?
Free cocktail set, ice bucket and serving tray with a casino logo on each piece. Plastic junk. One to a customer at a casino party but the party was so bad that so many people left and near the end the die hards who had loitered around were walking out with five and six sets each since the casino was desperate to get rid of them.
The really useful stuff are the giant clips and magnets with the casino logos.
And darned if those silly sun shades visor caps ain't the greatest thing ever when you are out in the hot sun and that silly visor cap is all you have stuffed in the car's nooks and crannies.
I'll let you all be the judge of the cool or crappy category on this final item:

I forgot to mention my El Cortez keychain. Still use it from when I first visited Vegas to check in there. Yeah the place is a dump (unless staying at Cabana suites) but it's near and dear to my heart as my first foray into Sin City. I got my taste of coindroppers by the Subway and never looked back. I love these machines unless I have to pee real bad then it becomes a drag waiting for the hopper to fill when it runs out of coins, also having to cash them in at the cashier's cage while holding your bladder for an ungodly amount of time because the coin machine is acting up and can't figure out your total.

I have a 1991 Emperor's Club Medallion that was given out by Caesars, I didn't get it in a promotion, but I bought it for a buck at a garage sale. Comes on a gold chain.

Most practical and useful gift is one I still use every day, one of the many coffee mugs I got from the old Sands hotel and casino. Most of them I gave away to friends, still have four or five besides the one I use. Funny, see the darn things offered on Ebay for five bucks or so.
