I got an offer from Monte Carlo with reduced rates and it says Comp yourself with Express Comps. What does the Comp yourself with Express Comps mean? I never saw that before...
It's marketing speak. It just means that expresscomps are yours to do with what you wish. You can buy something in the gift shop, grab a pint at The Pub or ask MLIFE to knock off that much from your bill assuming you're not getting comped full RFB (room food beverage).
It's their big FU to the low level players. As in: "You don't really play enough for us to bother with you, get outta here, go comp yourself! Seriously, its there attempt to put a good spin on the "express comps" thing. I mean they are a fine little credit that you can use to maybe buy a sandwich or something, but to say you can "comp yourself" with it makes it sound as if you'll be accumulating enough to get yourself real comps. In reality, anybody who accumulates enough express comps to really take a big chunk out of their bill probably doesn't need them because they are already getting most or everything comped by a host or casino marketing.
Sorry, you can not buy stuff in gift shop, with a few rare exceptions - like sometimes logo, sometimes smokes.
I stand correct. I hardly buy anything with EC's from the gift shop other than a deck of cards once which I used EC's for I think.
