Witness the evolution of my relationship with Arizona Charlie's Decatur over the last 18+ months. I always visit for 4-5 days and play about $40,000 coin-in, all on their good video poker schedules, even though there are now only a very few such games remaining.
Early 2021: Here's two comped nights! And two more comped up front, and the fifth comped at checkout.
Mid-2021: Two comped nights! One more night comped up front, and two more nights at casino rate.
Late 2021: Two comped nights! Three more nights at casino rate.
Early 2022: Two comped nights, and regular rack rate for the other three nights.
Now: Two comped nights, and "you didn't lose enough last time for us to give you casino rate" (that loss was -$285).
Now, don't get me wrong: I appreciate the rolling two-nights offers, and they're good on most weekends--you use one, you get another. So this is far better than most. But I'm just struck by how the exact same amount of action first got me five free nights, then three free plus a good deal, then two free, then two free and a snarled reply of how presumptuous I was to even ask for more. I guess that's the evolution of pandemic-we-want-you-we-need-you to post-pandemic-fuck-you.
I would imagine everyone else has seen the same decline in generosity from Vegas casinos they frequently visit. I fully expect my offers to be choked off completely in the very near future.
