This is a simple one-answer-only poll on how many players club cards you possess. We're interested in getting a gauge on how well-versed respondents are in availing themselves of all the benefits of having their table-game and machine play tracked by the casino players clubs.
And please, tell us in the comments which players clubs provide the most comps and perks for your level of play. The clubs don't, to be sure, have to be limited to Las Vegas, but we'd like to hear how many of you are in the upper tiers of the big Vegas clubs, at least enough to waive paid parking at the Strip casinos.

No doubt about it: Readers of the Las Vegas Advisor and LasVegasAdvisor.com are casino players. It's an interesting curve, with no cards at the bottom, then 1-through-4 cards placing second, third, fourth, and fifth in order, and 20-25 and more than 25 in the top four.
Altogether, of more than 1,500 voters, 635 (41%) have 15 cards or more. At the same time, 44 respondents (3%) have one or no cards.
In short, it seems to us that very few voters fire it up at their favorite casino game or games without every intention of collecting the share of comps that they earn with their play.
We're not surprised by any of the results of this poll. After all, Huntington Press laid the foundation for its publishing program on accruing comps while you play, with Comp City in 1994, The Las Vegas Guide to Slot Clubs in 1995, and the first edition of The Frugal Gambler in 1997. The coverage of comps, hosts, and coupons in More Frugal Gambling (2003) is among the most extensive ever published.
We've been stressing the importance of players clubs, points, and comps for so long that we're gratified to see it's almost automatic for our readers to be card-carrying members of so many freebie-generating establishments.
