I do not know of any casino where you can just present your players card for payment, at this time.

Imperial Palace, baby!

And Harrah's in Topeka puts 100 points per hour on your Total Rewards Card. I so do not understand why the Vegas hotels can't do the same. The points I earn in Topeka can be used in Vegas. But the points I earn at Caesars cannot even be used across the street at Paris.

Borgata its tracked off your players card, you use it basically as a debit card anywhere to pay.

That's correct, and it really is pretty convenient. However, Borgata changed the value of the comp dollars for food purchases a few months ago. Now, you need 2 comp dollars for every dollar of food that you purchase. That effectively cuts the comp dollars that you earn from playing poker from $1/hour to $0.50/hour. Not much of a comp.

This applies only in the downstairs food court and places like Starbucks. Places like Metro, Noodle Bar, Bobby Flay, etc, are 1-1 (as are rooms, spa, etc).

I think the Stratosphere works this way too (it did about a year ago anyway, before they tucked the cardroom away so that it gets almost no passing traffic). Like at the IP, the card reader on any machine will tell you a comp balance separate to your slot points and you can swipe comp dollars off the card at any casino restaurant. Sadly not at McDonalds, or the pretzel place upstairs, though.
