Revel. Got to say I am now getting some pretty good comps
Rooms just about ant time
Loads of different show tickets to big name performers
Invites to Revel events
They appear to be trying harder now that DeSantis and his crew are gone

How have your casino offers been? Mine have stayed about flat ($30x2 in Aug, $25x2 in Sept, based on about 6 hours of light play through the summer), but I'm seeing more of these peripheral offers as well. I'm glad to see they're being more generous in some areas, but I hope that it's not just because the hotel is empty and they can't sell out their shows.
We talked about this general concept a while ago, but there's a whole theory about being generous to someone who you know will say no. I live in Philly. I get room offers from PA casinos and huge cash offers from casinos in California. I remember both offerings, but when I want freeplay in PA or free rooms in SoCal, I get rejected. Similarly, the odds of me going to a show at Revel are 0.001% and I think they're smart enough to bank on that when they make the offering. I guess that level of sophistication would put them ahead of what Kevin did, but it may not solve the underlying issues caused by low traffic and lingering dislike/distrust that the previous administration cultivated.

We can talk about it on Friday Oct 11th when the Sept numbers come out. That will tell the story if they have turned the corner or not. That said, even being numer 2 behind Borgata may not allow them to make it and no one expects those type numbers. But I will say, take it if you can get it.

How much are you losing to them to get these types of offers?

I've lost about $200 to them this summer, and got $110 in offers + rooms (Su-th) + shows. Oddly, no food. FWIW, that's about the same strength as what I've received from Harrah's for about the same amount of play, only TR gives a room any night and no show tix. Parity isn't going to get it done for Revel, especially when a Friday or Saturday room is worth just about any show ticket for a visitor to this destination location.
