Wayne Newtron Offer Letter

Harrah’s Las Vegas offers Wayne Newton shows in Las Vegas.  They where kind enough to invite me to a show featuring Wayne Newton.  It comes with a Christmas theme and with the free show they also offer two free hotel nights.

I did not go!  But it looks fun.

Harrah’s Showing Win/Loss Statements Online

CompMan January 8th, 2007

If you are a member of Harrah’s Total Rewards they have added win/loss statements to their web site.  You just login and it generates a PDF of your winnings and losses.

Mine seems to only be about 50% accurate.  It is definitely an interesting tool.

Why would a casino do this?  Their goal is to make patrons loose money and forgot how much they have lost.  If at the year you run this and put a tangible number rather than the mystery it may motivate people to quit gambling?

Blackjack Tournament Comp

Blackjack Tournament

Here is one of the “cooler” comps I have received, I was busy this weekend so I could not go.  Harrah’s and the Flamingo partnered together and had a large Blackjack tournament.  They offered 4 free nights of hotel accomadations and over $50,000 in prizes. 

 The flier was very professional and the branding was very good on this flier.  It came on a nice hard cover mailer.  Entry was completely free and if I showed up I probably would of dome some other aggressive gambling.

Harrah’s Flight

Flight to Reno

So you really want to travel in style?  Harrah’s offered me a free flight from San Diego to Reno and all accomidations.  I never took them up on this offer but it sounds quite nice.  The dates where from a Sunday to Wednesday which is not ideal.
