I go to Vegas a few times a year. I'd like to start building a relationship with the Venetian so I can get better pricing on rooms, comps, etc.

I call their no-help reservation line and it goes like this:

Me: "Do you have any rooms available for Saturday?"

Them: "Yes Sir"

Me: "Can I get the poker rate?"

Them: "Are you a players club member?"

Me: "I will be as soon as I arrive. Can I get the poker rate?"

Them: "It depends on your play"

Me: "If I put in the required hours, can I get the rate for that night?"

Them: "No"

Me: "Really?? No?"

Them: "No"

Me: "OK. Thanks for nothing"


Can any Venetian regulars chime in here? Am I stupid or are they stupid? Its a huge difference between the $499/night they quoted me and the published Poker Rate.

Thanks.
