Venetian cuts comps in Las Vegas


The Venetian has suspended comp offers through March for all but it's highest rollers in Vegas. A new hotel management alliance has allowed the Venetian / Palazzo properties to increase room occupancies apart from comped room offers. Thus, all room offers, freeplay, tournaments, show tickets, and dining offers have been suspended through at least March 2011.

The Venetian was once a favorite of ours based on comp offers and decent service from the Grazie players club. Sheldon Adelson has made a huge mistake with this comp suspension fiasco and we anticipate a significantly negative backlash from former average - tier players. Adelson obviously wants to cater to only the upper crust of gamblers. We should let them know it's a mistake, ehh?

Cheers...

  2. Thanks for the comments, Rick. Overall, it just seems like an elitist, bad-for-business move.

  3. Ive had numerous arguments with ppl from Venetian in light of this change. I had played the most last year and looking at my win/loss statement, my coin in was
    75k. I dont even make 75k, LOL. Thats how MUCH I have played, and they said I didnt play enough for them to comp me a room...LOL..
    So Im going back to Harrahs Properties where I can rack up points in a day and able to get a free freakin room! Caesars room are not bad so here I come!
