    Demand is way better than expected. Players gonna play. No need to give away the store, unfortunately.

    I think most are playing a wait and see game. They can always increase comps later right?
    In the long run I don't see business being better for the casinos. I think their hope is to return to business before carona. So I expect comps in the long run to return to same also. My question is how do they treat people never returned or people who returned, but played less due to higher minimums.

    Did you actually get a mailer from 4Q and/or Binions? I haven't gotten anything yet, but I keep hoping.

    I just got mine from 4Q today.

    4Q was from June to August:

    monthly: 3 free nights/$50 food/dinner for two at Hugo's ($150 limit)
    one time during offer period: $225 FP

    My March offer was 3 nights/$200 FP (which I wasn't able to pick up due to their computer issue)

    I low-played a bit on my last stay at the end of Feb/beginning of March due to their computer issues, so my offers may have been affected by that.

    More direct comparison of Binion's offers without any intervening play:

    March: 30% of room rates, $40 FP
    June-Aug: monthly: two free nights and free breakfast for two. During offer period: $45 FP

    Prior to receiving your March offer, when had been the last time you played at Binion's?

    I haven't received anything but I called and booked my Binions offer for this coming weekend. I also just asked the 4Q what my June-August offer is. They pulled up my account number and told me.

    I got a new one for CET today, for June & July - so I'm not sure if this counts for July. Anyway, food credit in addition to rooms, it seems the same as what it would have been prior to the COVID situation so I can't really say anything has changed as of yet (save for rooms, but that may have been due to higher March play).

    I'll post again if I see some new ancillary offers that seem different, so far nothing much however.

    I was just going to ask the same question.
    My offers at the D were 300 freeplay, suite, and 350 food comp. Now those are gone.
    My CET offers were usually 500-650 freeplay, a suite, and now they are 150 freeplay and 150 food.

    Mine are definately gone or lowered. Im hoping offers start back after July 4th!!!!

    The D seems to be pretty generous to me. It seems odd you have such a great offer down to nothing. I would call them and confirm if they're still active. Some people talk about the website not working right so this could be your case.

    I think it could also be if they have to open at a reduced capacity they want to lure in the bigger players to use the valueable space they have available

    My current Wynn offer is noticeably better than my usual. None of the others have changed.

    I've experienced virtually no change. I made Diamond in a day on my one big play at Caesars in November, and my pre-COVID offers for $3000 gift cards or FP still stand. Even have an offer in August for $4000 FP (but no resort credit). To be safe, I booked both the August offer and the Gift Card Offer (end of June where 5x tier credits also apply making it easy to keep my Diamond Status) I wanted to ensure one didn't disappear if my play on the next trip doesn't warrant keeping me at that level. MGM offer is the exact same offer that existed before COVID, which was $800 FP and a range for $300-$800 of Resort Credit depending on the hotel.

    This theory would seem to go against everything else the D did since Stevens paid for people to come to Vegas and the D/GG gave double free play for June. They wouldn't double free play for everyone if the intent is to lure in bigger players. My offers at the D stayed consistent at 75 FP.

    My offer at Wynn also went up. Normally get $500 FP + 3 nights ( weekend) + $250 FB/night. Now it's $1000 FP + room + FB and shopping credits on top of that.

    Guessing Vegas offers will be similar to post 08 financial meltdown, till it stabilizes.

    My MLife offer has stayed the same, but I had a two free nights at Wynn teaser that is now gone. Sucks since I was going to use that and finally stay there, but oh well. Cosmo is about the same as before.

    My mlife offers stayed the same, CET offers worse than before.
    I am a low low-roller, barely made Diamond with CET, Gold with Mlife.

    If you really want to book what you had, I recommend calling in to see if it might still be available. The "welcome back" offer that I am sure you do not want to book must be booked by 1 July 2020, and is only good for stays through 10 August 2020. I suspect that we are going to see new Vegas Wynncore gaming offers arrive within the next two weeks. Hopefully, they will not be dreadful for those of us not getting baller offers.
