I played (did not stay) at the Palms in 6/03 for 2 days, averaging $25k each day. The only offer this generated was a special rate of $39 a nite for 12/03. I took them up on it and stayed there for 4 nites last December. Averaged $22k a day and on my last nite asked to see a host. None of the ones that are recommended were working, so I had to take the host that was there. He reviewed my play and comped the room. That was almost 3 months ago and I have had no offers since. I'm told the Palms does not send offers to out-of- towners on any regular basis.

The Palms' hosts have been given flexible "guidelines" on how much play gets what comp level. These are the guidelines: $10,000 Daily coin-in gets Casino Rate; $20,000 Daily coin-in gets Room Comp; $30,000 Daily coin-in gets RFBL; $40,000 Daily coin-in gets RFB.
