WRX gives excellent advice here. And I'll take it a step further. Even for non-locals, the specific area for your address can affect your offers.
In 2013-14 I maintained addresses both in SoCal and the Bay Area. My DL showed the SoCal address.
My offers from Atlantis in Reno were all named "Western Regional" blahblahblah while they had a SoCal address on file for me. But when I changed to start using my Bay Area address, my offers no longer had the Western Regional moniker (and were about 30% worse overall).
As a SoCal person my offers were 3 free nights any time during the month plus $X in free play. When they viewed me as a Bay Area player everything changed to this weekend for 2 nights, that weekend for 3 nights, this weekend 3 nights plus FP, that weekend 2 nights plus extra points (comps).
Obviously their logic was a Bay Area player could drive over any time and they curated my offers by week. But a SoCal player was "making a trip" and needed flexibility.
I changed my address back to SoCal eight months later, and my offers went back to Western Regional.
