I've been checking 4Q prices over the last few months to get an idea what to expect when I come out in October. I've found the prices are the same going through the casino's web site and Hotels.com. I get "stamps" if I book with Hotels.com and will get a free room after 10 staus (about to get that free one). But I also get around 10% off at 4Q for being over 55. It appears to be a push. A disadvantage of 4Q direct was paying all up front. However, the last time I stayed in 2019 we got part of our final bill comped based on our play. Booking direct will also make it easier to extend or shorten our stay.
