One way language seems to evolve is through deception. It had been awhile since I had stayed in a hotel and recently, I stayed at Hooters. The first thing I asked the host was for a "room comp." He said that based on my play, that would be fine. To my surprise, after I had checked out, I discovered that he had used my points, which I could have used for free play, to pay for the room. When I pointed out to him that that hardly constitutes a "room comp," he said that that's how the entire industry does it and that there was a "misunderstanding." Buyer beware!

They will also tell you how to handle checkout; at most hotels this is not handled at the front desk but by a host or the players club but different casinos have different procedures. And whether they take points off your card will depend upon the casino you are playing at.

I'm totally new at VP, but have been studying the strategy charts and practicing with Frugal VP software, and spent a few bucks at the local Indian Casino. I'm wondering if my $5,000 budget for the week will be enough to expect any decent comps and then - how do I cash in on those? I know I need to get the player cards and I think I'm supposed to charge everything to my room (right??). Then.... do I ask at the hotel desk when I check out about what might be comped?
