Hey i went to the tropicana a few weeks ago and i went with my sister and her husband. Well they only played on the nickel slots and they got a thing in the mail today giving them a free room. I on the other hand played 2-5 nl and 2-4 limit and placed 2nd in a tournament and played another one, played blackjack, and wasted some money on the slots. I put alot more money on teh table then they did but i have yet to get anything saying i even get free parking. I know they lost money and i won alot of money but shouldnt they want me to come back and try to lose it back???? Has anyone else experienced the same thing???? is this typical??? i just want a free room.... lol

My girlfriend plays the slots, I play strictly poker. She get's all the comps from Harrah's, Bellagio, Mirage, etc. They throw food, money and hotel rooms at her and for me they give me the "Oh your here to carry her bags" look.Slots are where the money is at for the casino's. If you fail to see the reasoning, then you don't understand how slots work VS poker. The rake in poker barely covers the wages for the dealers and the floor space for the poker room. If they could get away with it they'd rip the poker room out and slap up a couple hundred more slot machines.

True except that a lot of husbands bring along the old ball-n-chain when they want to play poker and what does the wife do? Pull the slot arm! PS. I want a free f*cking room too!

DUDE, MOST A.C CASIONOS HAVE A DIRTY LITTLE SECRET THAT I WILL SHARE WITH YOU.......THEY DONT KEEP ENOUGH BOOKS ON POKER AND TABLE GAME RATES ,, YOU HAVE TO APPROACH THEM AND TELL THEM WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND I THE FACT IS THAT THEY HAVE TO PAY TO FIND OUT THAT INFORMATION. THEY DONT CARE, IF YOU PUT YOUR B.S. CARD IN A PENNY SLOT IT COSTS ONE DUMMY TO PUT YOUR NAME ON A LIST IN A COMPUTER, VIA CUT AND PASTE AND THE SLOT MACHINE IS CHEAP TO RUN AND A FASHIONABLE 24/HR A DAY 365 ATTRACTION. I HAVE LIVED IN AC ON AND OFF FOR YEARS AND HAVE NOTICED IT AND IT SUCKS

i've stayed at the trop a few times in the past few years. the pool's OK and the tower rooms are acceptable. it's not as flashy as bellagio or wynn, but it's in an OK location and is fine if you don't plan to spend time in your room unless you're sleeping. the "poker room" there is kind of a jopke in terms of size and variety of games they spread, but it was pretty soft every time i played there with a lot of tourists just handing money away.
