Non-Vegas casino free drinks?

Do we know where else in the US of A comps drinks? I'm going to be in NOLA for a couple of days for a conference and was thinking of stopping in at the Harrah's. I THINK they comp drinks but was not positive. I seem to recall getting free drinks at Foxwoods/Mohegan Sun as well. Everywhere else (outside of Vegas and AC) it seems like I've had to pay.

 

Harrah's in New Orleans definitely does comp drinks. Can't speak to any other non Vegas places.

Also, just so the OP knows, Wynn does not comp drinks for players at their video poker bars.

 

As mentioned earlier Louisiana comps drinks. Mississippi is also free as well as most in Pennsylvania. Iowa and Colorado are free but state law limits your comp drink rate I believe. Most of the midwest isn't free; hence, me making trips from St. Louis to Tunica more often than I probably should.

 

Cool, thanks. based on where I live/family I visit live, I guess I just have bad luck. Because when I'm not in Vegas I typically go to Kansas, Missouri, Ohio and Indiana casinos.

 

The only places that normally do no t offer comp drinks are native American joints per my experience.

 

My assumption so far has been that it is based on state laws.

Nevada - comps
Lousiana - comps
Mississippi - comps
Michigan - comps

Florida - no comps
Kansas - no comps
Wisconsin - no comps


In some of those states my experience is only one or 2 properties so I could clearly be wrong. The states I listed that do comp, all gave free drinks in multiple areas of the state.

 

Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun=yes

 

Oklahoma charges for drinks

 

Harrahs Cherokee in NC = NO free alcohol

 

NO at the Cleveland Horseshoe

 

It goes state by state in non-Indian casinos. Ohio doesn't want anybody to have any fun, so we put in casinos only out of budgetary desperation. But no free booze. I think each tribal council decides at Indian casinos. Although an Indian tribe is a sovereign nation, and not technically subject to state laws, there is some interplay.

 

Yep no free booze here, not even table service at clubs of any kind.

 

I've played at a number of Iowa casinos and have never gotten a free drink. I once got a free drink in Minnesota but that was 20 years ago at the small casino up by Lake Vermillion.

 

They do at most NYS Indians casinos.....but not all, even though they are owned by the same tribe.

 

I fished that lake about 30 years ago.

 

The only one I've been to is Turning Stone. The first time I was there, they didn't serve alcohol at all (which was, of course, brutal). The second time I was there they had a beverage cart with beer (and maybe wine), but it was definitely not free.

 

There are 3 casinos owned by the Seneca tribe......Seneca Niagara in Niagara Falls, NY comps drinks, Seneca Creek Casino in Buffalo, NY does NOT comp drinks but they also have Seneca Allegany in Salamanca, NY that does comp drinks.

 

No at all 5 of the Maryland Casinos. Delaware Park and Harrington in Delaware are also No's

 

Yes in WV (at least at Charles Town).

 

Council Bluffs Harrah's and Horseshoe comps for 7Stars and i think Diamonds. And in NOLA, it seemed like the alcohol option on the beverage order screen wasn't there if you weren't playing.
