You addressed the comp problem/gambling loss issue very well. The true question is: Can one get back more in comps from Harrah's than
what one drops(loses) on the slots/bad vp to gain 7 status? Exploiting any loyalty/frequent traveler programs is a part time job. If you have the time, you get the goods. The majority of players probably leave a lot of coin on the table.(which of course, funds the system for the few of us that know how to work the system to the maximum advantage)
