Thanks for the detailed explanation, however, now I'm caught in between, as I asked my host about a "comp" bank and she said it does indeed exist. However, we as players, don't have access to it as it's basically, the amount (% of total action) that we are "worth" to the casino. Depending on play/action, a % will be paid back in forms of comps, which will first be used to cover room, then F&B charges, then all rest.
So what would be the +EV play considering higher-end action/play? Exhaust ALL points $ before checking out, or perhaps banking them and hope the host will "take care" of all charges through "comps $", otherwise pull balance from points?
TIA
