Thank you so very much for all that great information. It certainly makes sense. I am sorry to hear that about the Gold Coast. I have been doing research on good places to stay and play for comps and offers, and had not heard much about CG. I've seen some posts about GC offers on LVA, but did not know if they were tourists or locals. Only heard about cleanliness, food, etc. Good thing we are driving this time....will visit the outliers, sign up and play some great VP! By checking database, do you mean database on this site? I'm a newbie, so bear with me. Thanks all!!

most glaring instance of that being their recent slashing of
comps/cashback by 2/3. The fact that they try to "compensate" for
that by offering locals/repeat customers mutiple point days and
other promos, plus their "tier" player card system that offers
another way for habitual, er, loyal customers to compensate for the
point-slash, says exactly ONE thing: "we don't give a rat's ass
about casual visitors". If you just drop in from out of town, you'll
get screwed on comps and cashback; that's evidently just what they
want.
As a rule, if you're an out-of-towner, you have to concentrate on
those casinos that cater to tourists. The best of those are
the "outliers"; geographically disadvantaged joints that have to
work to attract customers. Coast obviously feels that the GC isn't
as isolated as other locals' casinos, so they don't have to swell
the ranks of customers with out-of-towners.
By contrast, Silverton, AZ Charlie's West, and Fiestas, to name a
few, actively market to out-of-towners AND have good VP. The
Stratosphere is very generous with room offers, as are the Plaza,
Main Street Station, and El Cortez downtown--all of those have good-
to-excellent VP. Check the database for specifics.
