Muliple Free Play offers that demand hotel stay

Hi Folks. DW and I are leaving for Vegas in three weeks. I have Free Play offers at five different casinos, but four of them demand hotel stay to get them. I realize you have to check in at each hotel to get these offers but was wondering about the checking out, as we will only be staying at one. Do you need to go back to each hotel and check out on the TV or hotel desk, or do you just do nothing?

You can check out by phone if you want to, or you can just do nothing.

just don't let moneyLA know your are taking rooms at more than one hotel!

You can just do nothing but if you are worried just call each of the 4 from the airport saying you forgot to checkout.

But don't pull that crap at Alliante or Sue will reign down on you.

Just curious, will you lug an empty suitcase to each hotel? Will you even go up to the room?

LOL. No, I won't. I have no problem with people doing this.

No need to bring any luggage OR even go to the room, unless you want to see it.

My answers are No, and No. I really like the hosts at these casinos and just so you all know I am not taking advantage of the casinos that gave me these offers by just taking the FP and running. I will still probably play $500.00 of my own money in each establishment. Thanks for the answers.

Let your conscience be your guide.

Just curious... how much is the free play for to go from casino to casino, cab fare, walking, etc etc...

Curious: how many different credit cards will you be using in town, and if using one card will your credit card company put a hold on your card should they suspect a stolen card is being used at multiple locations? or will the various holds placed by each hotel wipe out your credit line?

also, do you get the cash/free play offers when you check in or are they redeemed over multiple days? Golden Nugget is notorious for dividing up its offers over three days. I note this because some hotels/casinos will "check you out" if there is no "activity" in the room including lack of bags, rooms not slept in. Housekeeping reports "vacated rooms" to the front desk each day in case guests leave but fail to physically check out.

I'm not the original poster, but I'll take a stab at this. I've been checked in to as many as FIVE places in one weekend -- used the same credit card without a problem. I drive into Vegas, so getting from place to place is no problem. Free play amounts varied greatly -- probably from $200 to $1000. Golden Nugget was $700 most times and it was not broken up into three days. The only hotel to ever check me out prematurely was the Rio, but it didn't matter as I had already given them my play and used my offer.

I still double book on occasion. In October I was booked at Silverton for a golf tournament and $400 free play. I gave them $49k coin in and lost $275. I was also booked at the Mirage on an offer with a suite, RFL, and $700 free play. I gave them $61k coin in and won $7200.

Going back and forth does get to be a hassle, but sometimes it's just too worth it not to do it. However, I am into a bit more mellow trips now and will only double book if I'm taking an offer from somewhere I don't want to stay. I'm booked in April at The Hotel with only $150 free play just because I really want to stay there again. I've double booked at Four Queens because I like playing in the casino there and love enjoying a nice meal at Hugo's, but I don't want to stay in one of their rooms. I'll happily take my $200 free play as well.

I'll also double book if I have a family member or employee that wants a room.

There you have it.

Edited to add: I leave for Vegas tomorrow, staying at Bellagio on an offer of a slot tournament with food in limited restaurants. I haven't double booked anything because I really just want to relax and enjoy the Bellagio experience.
