Thanks CET

[phillycub]

If getting FP is your goal, then maybe CET (Total Rewards) isn't the card/company/organization you should be looking at.

IMHO, CET has the BEST way of getting discounted/comped rooms of any strip chain.

Cosmopolitan has a better play/FP ratio, but it's only a single property.

I'm not here to "sell" CET over mLife or Identity, or Boarding Pass (Station) or any other group.

Once you decide what's important to you, then choose the program which plays to that goal.

Downtown at the D has one of the "best" programs, but it is "downtown".

"Downtown" is my favorite place to be in Vegas.

For mLife, if you play anywhere but Las Vegas, you take a tremendous hit. That's one of the reasons that I left mLife.

What does that mean? I've been getting offers to stay at the new MGM in Baltimore. How is that play different than say...play at The Bellagio or MGM in Vegas?

AFAIK, If you are a slot player the amount of tier credits you earn at mLife casinos outside of Las Vegas is substantially less. If you are a table player, there is no effect.

In Las Vegas, slot players earn Tier credits on the following schedule:

$3 of Slot Play = one base point = 10 Tier Credits
$1 spent at MGM Properties = 25 Tier Credits

When playing at Beau Rivage or Gold Strike Tunica, you receive two (2) Tier Credits for every Base Point earned. At MGM Grand Detroit, you receive one (1) Tier Credit for every Base Point earned. For table games, you'll earn Tier Credits based on length of play, average bet, and game type.

I don't know what the "penalty" is for playing at National Harbor, but I'm sure that there is one.

What a crock o shat! Why wouldn't it be the same at all properties! I'd love to play Harrah's Baltimore but they don't have a hotel attached. Guess I'll stick with CET properties. Plus I never worry about comps, rooms, transportation, etc. They take care of everything! That said, Cosmo and M-Life has been sending tempting offers...

Please don't shoot the messenger . . . I'm only reporting what I know. As to why, I have no idea. When I'm at Beau Rivage in a couple of weeks, I'll ask.

That was ONE of the reasons I left mLife, though I still try maintain Pearl just to get free parking. I visit Bellagio once a year for HGS since they started requiring a stay to participate in the myVegas promotion (long story).

I'm very interested to see how paid parking at CET casinos is gonna work.

Ya know i all ways hear how a lot of folks say that downtown is the best place to gamble at . ill have to be honest here. weve won very little downtown as a mater of fact we have done much better on the strip heck this last trip out we had a nice run at the Luxor and PH with a few nice hits at paris and of course Donna's hp over to Venetian .

I've looked on the mlife website to find out what the tier credits value is at Nat'l Harbor and can't find anything. I asked on mLife's FB page. If I hear back I'll let you know.

I also sent an email directly to mLife customer support.

UPDATED: They told me that it's 8 Tier Credits per point at MGM National Harbor, and Borgata hasn't been defined yet.

Baltimore does give comp rooms. I think now it's just at a Sheraton but they used to have others. We stayed at a Hyatt. We just went in our car but they have or at least had a shuttle bus, plus there's probably cabs also.
It's been a while but aren't there some tax issues with winning handpays in Maryland as a non-MD resident - i.e. that you have to then file a state tax return there as a non-resident? I didn't win shit there so it wasn't an issue but I remember my CLE then-CET host giving me a heads up because one of her Seven Stars went there, won a bunch and got hosed on taxes.
