Anyone that is Diamond level or above could/should be considered a "serious" gambler. I am 7* and consider myself a "serious" gambler. Each of us plays for a different reason. Amenities, food, etc. Your interest is Free Play, and (IMHO) you should concentrate your play where Free Play is emphasized.

I'm not sure what your expectation is, but I go to Las Vegas 6-10 times a year and stay on the Strip 99% of the time. I am quite happy with the comps that I am given.

As I said, CET's strength is not towards Free Play until you get to the higher levels. Many of the Downtown or off-strip casinos are more geared towards Free Play.

If you look at the statistics (published by the Nevada Gaming Commission) you will see that the Strip payback isn't THAT much different than anywhere else.
Oh no there is no fight . were having a discussion and differing opinions will come up time to time . now that being said . i should of excluded HL machine players in my general statement about players . HL machine players are the whales that casinos look for and comp the best (as they should be )I was referring to folks like Donna and myself (1.50 to 5.00 types )max bet in players. i cant tell you how many times ive walked down a row of newly installed machines Ill use Buffalo gold for an example and every machine is set at .60 cent bet .
