I guess the answer is not as cut and dry. Over time some myths and enthusiastic “retelling” of stories may have contributed to the exaggerations .

I changed my address at all the locals’ casino slot clubs, and pretty soon I noticed that I was getting all sorts of offers from Sunset Station, GVR, and the Reserve (this was before Stations ate it). Previously, I had lived in North Las Vegas, and my offers usually came from the Fiesta, Santa Fe (before Stations ate it), and Texas Station. But those offers dried up when I moved. So one day I got a North Las Vegas PO box, and changed my address to that of the PO Box at northside casino slot clubs: Stations, Cannery, Rampart, Suncoast, etc. Right away, the PO box started filling up with offers. Between my dual identities, I at one point had a peak of $1350/month in free play coming in, plus innumerable food comps. Of course, you don’t get that sort of largesse these days, at least not for the play I was giving them, but the concept is still valid–lots of offers are targeted to local zip codes! If you live on one side of town, a “second you” that lives on the other side could be worth the small expense.
