Venetian/Palazzo RESCINDING offers that have already been booked!!!

Well, Bob. Im sure that the lower level games are profitable. And those conventioneers who are paying top prices for those rooms and hotel meals probably will play those profitable lower level games. So LVS will win with the higher room rates and with the hold on the games.

Now, from your post it is clear that you are more upset about LVS rescinding "booked and confirmed comped offers." Again, I dont disagree-- it was a bad move. Im discussing the LVS strategy in a very competitive Vegas hotel/casino market.

Cancelling the offers on short notice was bad. Changing their strategy just might be a very smart move for this company.

Did someone suggest before that this discussion should be bifurcated -- one thread on the demerits of cancelling offers, and one thread on the new business strategy of LVS?
Well maybe they haven't changed their strategy all that much after all. I just got an email offer for comped nights today. I just posted a new thread and you can see what changes Grazie Club now has in store.
thanks for posting 12195d... now someone is going to have to explain why the others had their free nights pulled???

Look at the title of this 18-page thread! It's what most of us have been writing about all along while you have been trying to deflect the discussion away from that to focus only on comp changes that don't impact confirmed reservations.

I hope you didnt hurt your head. I didnt realize discussions have to be so narrow.

edited to add: besides, if it were just a discussion about confirmed reservations, why so much criticism of the policy, bashing Adelson, forecasting doom and gloom for LVS ??

Yeah, its a shame people had their confirmed comped reservations changed. thats life in the world of comps. My heart goes out to them. Discussion over, OK?

Now, stop complaining about Adelson and the new great evil empire.
Why should we stop complaining about him when he doesn't give a s*%t about Las Vegas? He'll just keep building hotels all over the world so the international travelers will have no reason to come here anymore.

Oh geez. Page 17 came and went before I could post on it.
Snooze you lose.
Sue, if what you are concerned with is competition outside of Vegas -- it is not Adelson you should be worried about. Its the Indian casinos, especially those in California because Calif is the #1 source of visitors for Vegas. The BIGGEST casino in the west is in Temecula -- Pechanga -- near San Diego, about 75 minutes from Los Angeles' west side. Not to mention Morongo, Rincon, Valley View and all of the card clubs and poker rooms offering blackjack and baccarat and no 3 card poker and let it ride and a new invention which is "video poker" played with cards and not a machine.
