Sunset Station is currently at 2,600.00 while the Fiesta Rancho is currently at 3,000.00 but the Henderson property is at 6,200.00! So talk about Player’s Advantage. If anyone is staying at a place on the southern outskirts of Vegas right now, head on over to the Station property in Henderson: cheap room, good food at reasonable prices, real breakfast bargain, … AND a Big3 Bingo Room bet that is clearly in the Player’s favor!! If you win that 6,200.00 that clearly makes the room rate a real bargain!

Note: The eight station properties offer a ‘Big 3′ in their bingo rooms and if you happen to already be staying at the property you might as well walk in and make a bet that has a Player Advantage. Those are rare in Vegas. Last week, of the eight Station properties, only Palace Station and Fiesta Rancho happened to then have this bet in a Player Advantage figure. Number of tickets you can buy for it is limited though. Not worth a trip to Vegas just to make a bet that is in the player’s advantage, not even worth a trip across town to do it, but if you are already staying there because of a cheap room, you might as well make a bet that is in YOUR favor rather than the casino’s favor.

Many room rates are good but not for arrivals. If you have some time to fool around with your travel dates you can take a look at the Luxor’s three different room rate calendars. Some are no changes or cancellations but real good prices.
Getting comped for RFB (RoomFoodBeverage) is easier if its a Monday thru Thursday room. It often depends on what you really want in a hotel room in Vegas. Anything with ‘station’ means it mainly caters to locals, offers good but not great buffets. Main Street Station offers 20x on craps odds and has a great microbrewery. Good bargain actually.
If you contact a casino host you should be able to get an indication in advance on your comps. If not, ALWAYS join the players clubs. Some places can’t comp you at all if you are not in the computer. You can join online (free ofcourse) and if you don’t like filling out forms or waiting on lines in Vegas… just give your id to the floorperson while you are at the craps tables…they will fill out the form for you while you are gambling and put you in the computer while you are playing.
Always stay in the casino’s computer.
