My experience has been that Strip properties will not even consider airfare reimbursement unless you have a loss. Then they will look at the amount of your loss and what they have comped already (rooms, food, freeplay/gifts) and then make a decision.

> As far as free airfare at Station is concerned, I don't think that that's their thing as they're more geared towards the "local" crowd and not the typical "high-roller" that the bigger, higher budget Strip casinos try to attract. Also, Air Fare Reimbursement is probably the Highest form of Comp that a casino can offer, as it's an actual "tangible/hard" comp with a really $$$ cost attached to it. Therefore, it is the hardest to get. Other more experienced folks on these boards may chime in.
