So, just for fun, keep reading on the other pages and see what I said about how I would be upset if this happened to me. Here are a few things to look for:
#1 "MissL I agree with you. I think if this player really thinks that his play entitles him to a comped room, then he should show up and pay the casino rate, play, and then get comped at the end of his visit.
If it were me, and my "comps" were pulled, I would also be upset. But I would also reason that the casino has a right to do that, and I would also reason that once I was there, and played my usual action, I would be comped anyway."
#2 "Mare, I agree with you. It's not fair. LVS has made this business decision -- it appears they are going after a different market that is linked to the convention business and their major investment in the convention center. It hurts everyone who used to be a loyal lower or mid level player.
the casinos talk about "loyalty programs" well there is no loyalty when it comes to $$ ."
#3 "Look I got screwed years ago at mandalay bay so I stopped playing there. Its part of the gamble. And next time ask me if I agree first before you start your attack. Also if you want to play the comps game be aware that they make the rules. Remember when caesars stopped their cash back? It cost me and others a lot of money because there was no notice."
But I am amazed that it is so important that I might take the casino's side. Gee-- someone went against the mob mentality, is that what's bothering you? Im a businessman, and yes, Ive done business with the casinos -- LOTS of them -- in different cities, including Stip and locals casinos in Vegas. And I can look at things from both sides. Is that wrong?
And I am still skeptical of the original post on blonde's forum. I really have trouble understanding that they would pull this guy's comped room only as part of a money saving program. As I said from the beginning, there are too many red flags. And if that person contacted me, I would do my best to find out what happened to him -- if he is standing by his story.
You've gone out of your way to justify the actions being taken by LVS, even if they would have done the same things to you. You have repeatedly attacked the credibility of the person who reported this action of having a confirmed reservation canceled by the casino because they did so using a screen name, and ignored Bonnie's link to statements made by others who have experienced the same thing. I'm pretty confident that your real name isn't MoneyLA.
For some strange reason, I suspect LVS stock in your portfolio is the driving force behind your attempt to discredit claims from unhappy customers while justifying the actions being taken by LVS.
