No More Casino Royale Room Comps

It was always nice to get 2-3 comped nights, many times including weekends. However, that is now a thing of the past for players of all levels. Best Western no longer offers rooms to the casino; apparently they are able to fill them with "paying customers."
So stupid. Give out a free room to a gambler who loses hundreds or thousands of dollars. Sell a room to a customer for $79 a night who loses $20 in the casino. Dumb...
The rooms are very nice after the renovation of a couple years ago, but it's hard to believe that Best Western will be able to keep that place full at the rates they charge, even with the central Strip location. I'm sure that the casino will see its play level fall off without the built-in customers from the comped rooms.
I know friends of mine that went out in March. Had always stayed at Casino Royale, but no more free rooms, so stayed at a CET property nearby (not sure which one). They used to play tons at Casino Royale, but this trip only bought tons of $1 Michelobs from them. They mainly played at CET (Harrah's and Flamingo) and MRI (Mirage) from what I understand. I know Casino Royale lost a lot of gambling (mostly slot play) from my friends at least.

I looked at the rates for a mid-December stay; about $79 a night. There are a lot of other nicer places for that rate.
Wow.That's pretty steep for them.Their rooms are nice,but not that nice.
