In spite of what you may have read there are a lot of broad generalities that are somewhat consistent.
1. Some properties rarely if ever send out offers of note. These you will have to discover, but the South Point is one that rarely sends out worthwhile offers to out of towners, the Palms would probably be a close second.
2. Every other property will usually send out some kind of offer for almost any play, these may be totally useless offers, but once you get over the $3000 level you can expect to get minimal offers from the out of the way properties.
3. All properties send out a wide variety of offers depending on your play level. They will range from a discount on a mid week room
to Suites and airfare. Here is where it becomes difficult.
4. It is generally accepted that the fancier properties on the strip require more play than the less fancy off strip and downtown properties.
5. If you are looking for reasonable mid level offers i. e. room for 3 nights anytime, some free play and maybe some food comps I'd suggest $10,000
in action at the off strip and downtown properties, and $15,000 for the strip properties. I am assuming that all of your play is on video poker.
This will give you a baseline and after that you can adjust your play up or down.
6. Finding specific play levels for each property requires a lot of work and most people will not be sharing that information without getting equivalent information in return.
As always play in your own comfort zone and don't go over your budget in search of good offers or comps.

Subject: Re: [vpFREE] General level of initial play to solicit offers
Well, I especially like properties with a major hotel chain association - Downtown Grand, Tropicana LV, SLS, Cosmopolitan, Rampart, Max at Westin, Hyatt Regency in Tahoe... I'm also looking at Tropicana Laughlin and M Resort because we fully value any reduction in costs on cruises. There are a number of others (especially in Reno/Sparks) that have my multi line crack - lol - but I don't know enough about them to know who I'd want to play at.
I think what I'm looking for is something like a relationship between room rate and a fairly strong showing for initial play. Or perhaps to be told that no such general correlation exists =p
