The Vegas casinos must have heard me threaten to go to Reno this year. Suddenly my mailbox is packed with mailing offers... Im near the bottom of the players club hierarchy in all of these places.
Silverton: 3 nights, $100 play, $50 dining
Palms: 3 night, $100 play, $50 dining
Stratosphere: 2 nights $100 play, $25 dining
Sahara: 3 nights $100 play $25 dining
I am getting offers too. Mail and internet.
Out of curiosity, how much play did you give Silverton? I was there recently and was hoping they would send me something. Same goes for Rio.

What did you play there, when, and how much? None of those places have decent games any more, so I haven't bothered...but I guess if you were already an established player, you might get some goodies now.
Those offers are strong enough that it might be worth getting established there, even if you have to do it by stuffing money into a 4/3 Bonus Poker machine. As always, you love 'em and leave 'em--get established, get the offers, take advantage, stiff them, lather, rinse, repeat.
I stayed at Silverton so I probably gave them 7-10k of coin in. they had a good 8/5 BP with progressive.
The other places are all minimum play....including the Strat which I haven't visited in over two years. I probably threw $100 at each place on my last visit.

VP and craps mostly...and lots of sports bets during football season when I go.

One thing I remember communicating about with Jean Scott is the value of mixing in a modest amount of slot play with your other gambling. My very limited experience is that it somehow affects how they "rate" you for offers. I doubt that I've put a nickel in a slot machine in the last five years, so I currently don't know either way. But if your slot action didn't have too gross of a -EV, it might have been worth it if it improved your offers beyond what you would have gotten just from your craps and VP play.
Sports bets seem to not do diddly insofar as generating offers. Perhaps because of their low house edge?
I made the effort to get over to the Rio and tried to get established. Used the LVA coupon. Spent the evening playng quarter VP. Somewhat surprised that I have received zero offers from them.

JDC: I did same thing and received nothing but I logged into our my player account online and found them. FYI
