The best way to determine, is simply to go the designated area for the casino hosts. Usually located around the cage or high limit area. If you are playing large enough, ($100 a hand for 3-4 hours a day on tables/$8K daily coin-in on slots) a host should have approached you. This is generally the level of play it takes to get assigned to a casino host. That is not to say you must play this much to earn comps. You can always stop by the host area as they generally rotate each host to cover these areas for a couple hours a day. Typically most places won't reward you comps for spending money at restaurants, nightlife, or retail. Almost everywhere, comps are generally only earned by your casino play. The number of annual trips you make doesn't really affect you being assigned to someone as we will look for at your average play for each trip tonsee what can be offered. It does however factor in if you are a customer who is there frequently and has a consistent level of play. Once that is established, we generally won't even have to look up your account to know what can be offered. We don't look at the amount of money you buy-in at the table to determine comps as lots of people can have a large amount of money but only intend to gamble mInimally. Back to your original question, if you want to know if you can get an assigned host, just come and ask. Even if your play isn't at that level, any of the hosts on duty should always be glad to assist to the most of their ability. If they say they can or can't do something, they are generally being honest, as any good host is upfront about comps earned whether the information being relayed back to the guest is positive or negative. Regardless, if you have been playing, always ask.
