Anyone who ever said that gambling never pays off was full of shit.

HAHAHA!
The last two shows that I went in Vegas I never hit the show floor. If you wanna upgrade to a better hotel, hit me up.
When you get free air fare that is when they really want you back. 
I think most hotels comp for mid week rates.

I’m ahead in dollar figure. Even more ahead when you consider what roommates are. Plus we get food comps, gaming chips, and also 50% back on airfare.
Last summer I won and at the december show I lost $300.00. Its not about how much you loose or win its about are you getting rated by using the casino club card for any and all gambling. But then again it does not hurt that while David is sleeping, I’m down stairs gambling till the sun comes out.

That’s true to a point. I am mainly a poker player, but when I play blackjack I have this money mgmt system where my average bet is about $500 give or take. I can play for 12 hours and win maybe $3000 or lose $3000. But, when you play for 12 hours at a $500 average bet, they pretty much give you anything you want. Do that four nights in a row and you have a limo waiting for you at the airport.
Three casinos in Vegas are very generous in their comps that I have found. Never played that much at the Hard Rock as the noise is deafening.
One of the easiest places to get comps use to be the Imperial (not sure if it’s even there anymore). That place use to be worse than the damn magazine tele-marketers to get you back.
Just be careful with “generic” comp cards that block out weekends. Chances are they mailed out 10,000 and you may not have a room waiting. I fell for it at the Imperial once and ended up staying at the Luxor with my whole stay comped.

waiting for the casinos to comp yr airfare?
bah?
in grad school i was friends with a high roller. They flew in him on their own jet whenever he wanted to go.
he’s president of his own oil company now. it was a pity he was straight.
Re: Guess How Much We Paid For Rooms At XBiz
It’s amazing how no one ever admits to losing in Vegas! lol
How do they manage to build such grand casinos and keep the doors open… from the buffet revenue?

I lost $18,000 one time and $12,000 another. Those were the only two times over 4 digits.
Re: Guess How Much We Paid For Rooms At XBiz
Seriously, only people in porn can loose figures like that.
Re: Guess How Much We Paid For Rooms At XBiz
I wasn’t in porn at the time. After my Dad died I took a year off and played semi pro poker.
If I knew how to write, I could write about the year and a half that I played with “the big boys”. Board drama is nothing compared to when someone hands you 25k to go play in a game and you lose.
I will say that the main lesson I learned after my poker gig is that having money is really over rated.
