At what casino is the TV show "Las Vegas" filmed?

I saw on an old Casino Diaries episode that comps are computed by a percentage of your "expected loss," given your average bet, number of hands, and house advantage. Suppose three players walk up to a blackjack table, buy in for $10,000, and play $100 a hand for one hour. One goes broke, one wins $10,000, and one breaks even. Theoretically, all earn the same "comp value." However, in real life, wouldn't the casino give the standard comp to the breakeven player, a larger comp to the player who lost the $10,000, and the biggest comp to the player who won?

I've been watching the World Series of Blackjack on cable and I can't figure out what's going on sometimes. I know blackjack basic strategy but the players, especially in the final rounds, make some crazy plays, like doubling down on hard 19 and standing on 16 against a 10. Can you tell me why?
