Comp City: A Guide to Free Casino Vacations (2nd Edition)
reviewed on + 20 more book reviews


The ideas presented here are totally different from many gambling books. This book doesn't present some scheme for making money gambling - it instructs how to get comps from gambling. You have to be willing to lose some money gambling in the process of getting the comps. I have not yet tried out the techniques in the book, but I plan to. (5/27/11)

I just got back from a short trip to Las Vegas. Some of the stuff actually works. I deposited a large amount of "front money" into a casino cage to draw markers against, and I was immediately issued some meal comps to keep me happy before I even started gambling. I tried to make it look like I was betting more than I actually was - that worked rewarding me with more food comps. I tried to hide some of my chips to make it look like my winning sessions were actually losing sessions - it worked (but not to the extent that I was trying. I don't think that I was sneaky enough - they partially caught on). I think they felt alright about giving a losing player more comps. All of my meals the whole trip were comped (all I paid was the tips). This really works, and I am going to do it again next time I go to Vegas. (7/9/11)
