i go to vegas at least twice a year and loved staying at the venetian/palazzo. i was treated well, loved the rooms. then the comps stopped!!! now i dont even bother going near the place...i get plenty of free rooms up and down the strip. rick tangedahl oak lawn il
Thanks for the comments, Rick. Overall, it just seems like an elitist, bad-for-business move.
Cheers...

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!
Appreciate your comments, VLove...I'm an MGM comp believer myself...Adelson is really making a mistake here, IMO..
Cheers..
