Do you play mostly where you stay or do you casino hop?

    We hop, hop, hop, hitting about 20 different places each trip. With a car, they're all in reach!

    I'd say about 50% at home casino, 50% elsewhere. Home base is typically Flamingo, but we mix it up amongst CET casinos and typically spend at least one full afternoon at Paris, one full evening at Harrah's, and bounce around that side of the street for the other days.

    I play mostly at my home casino. I will play at other casinos before a meal or a show. First session and last session of the day is always at the home casino though.

    About 46% home, the rest is hop. Always begin and end at home.

    We pretty much play where we stay. We will go over to Wynn for a drink or two and play some, but Sheldon gets the overwhelming majority of our action.

    We usually stay anywhere from 5-8 days. We tend to limit our travels to one or two other casinos that we visit during the day or early evening. After dark we are pretty much either in our host hotel or next door (walking distance). Over that week we usually wind up splitting the nights between two casino/hotels and that gives us a little more variety that keeps us from tiring of being in the same room for a week.

    It depends - if I'm staying with a casino-specific comp offer I'll focus my play there to keep getting offers, but If I'm staying on a more generic company-wide offer (like one that offers something at all MGM resorts), I'll do quite a bit of hopping in between.

    Do tend to stick with one company's casinos per trip though.

    I used to be pretty in-stay resort loyal but now I jump around because I don't want to get pigeon-holed into staying at one resort, or even one company. I was getting very little else but NYNY offers for a while. Fine, but I like to get around too.

    I had my last trip (PH) and have my entire 2017 booked on comps from CET, but I barely played at PH last time and I don't imagine I'll spend much casino time at Paris when I'm there in March, either. No real reason to, when the free rooms seem to flow whether I play at TR resorts or not.

    Lately I've been trying to spend some casino time at Cosmo, and to a lesser extent V/P, to try to climb up the comp ladders in those spots, but honestly I don't go out of my way to do so. Prefer to go/play where the wind takes me these days, not trying to chase comps that much anymore. If my inexplicable run of free rooms with CET dries up I suppose I'll have to get more company-focused again somewhere.

    We do about 90% of our playing at where we are staying--guess its because we feel comfortable there(Mirage)
    We go for a week and usually in the middle of the trip will go to a few other casinos just to get out for awhile

    As a downtown gambler, I roam quite a bit, but that always includes my "home" casino... they tend to get a bit more play than the others...but not always.
    Like breeze mentioned, they get the first & last gambling of the day.
    One exception: Gold Coast... when I stay there, they get about 80% of my play. Plenty of low-limit 3:2 dd-pitch with DAS, and a UTH table? Why leave?

    I move around, if I want to spend all day gambling in one place I can do that where I live.

    I'm surprised so many mostly play where they stay. Interesting. Wonder if the one's that belong to mgm mylife or CET TR tend to hop more because of the points all go to their one card?
