Coast Casinos in general has gotten more cheapo over the years, the
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.
