Las Vegas is famous for comping high rollers, but Sin City’s new approach is catching the attention of travelers all over the world — or at least those who can get to Nevada without having to jump through quarantine hoops and tight border restrictions.
After being forced to close due to Covid-19, Las Vegas properties are rolling out the red carpet to lure poker players with rooms as low as $10 — a far cry from typical hotel prices. According to the Las Vegas tourism bureau, the average daily rate in 2019 was $132. The savings mean more money for the poker tables, which are reopening slowly but steadily.
While completely anecdotal, a Poker.org staff member signed into his Caesars account to find 3-night comps for every property on the strip, including Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood, Paris, Flamingo, Bally’s, Cromwell, Rio, Harrah’s, The Linq, and more. Our staff member isn’t a high roller and visits Vegas about once every two years.
On the MGM Resorts site, 3-night comps were available at Mandalay Bay, Delano, MGM Grand, Park MGM, NoMad, and The Mirage. 4-night comps were available at Luxor, New York New York, and Excalibur. And 1-night comps were offered at Bellagio, Aria, and Vdara.
