- Based upon how much of a credit line you get approved for, if it’s a worthy sized one, you may get assigned a casino host right off the bat, especially if we’re talking a real large sum here.

What kind of gifts have you guys given to your casino host before? Anything $50 and under doesn't have to be 'approved' by her boss so that's about the range I'm looking for. I've been a 'VIP' for about 1.5 years but didn't get her anything last year - never really thought of it.

Regardless of what anyone claims, anything your host does is based on your play and play, in this case, is code for losses. If people want to believe otherwise or think that the host goes the extra mile for them then, I have a bridge for sale. If anyone has to think they're special to justify their losses who am I to burst their bubble? As one of our frequent posters likes to say 'never wise up a chump'. I'm certainly not calling anyone a chump for having a host or for tipping one, only for thinking they're special.
Your host should be the one giving you the gift. Think about that for a moment. Think about how a host gets paid by the casino. If I haven't talked you out of it, then let me answer your question.
Before you do anything, find out the casino's tipping policy. Do not give cash. It may be prohibited and it is awkward and tacky. The lady you describe should appreciate a gift card, chocolates, wine or a nice scarf. For some reason scarves always seem to pop up on these lists.
Is your tip a thank you, a bribe, you trying to follow protocol or a combination? I've mentioned in similar threads that a heartfelt handwritten letter to the casino praising your host will do wonders. Long after the gift card has been redeemed, the chocolates consumed, the wine drunk and the scarf has worn out or been lost, that letter will be remembered.

I feel its inappropriate but fortunately I'm too cheap to ever even have a host much less buy a host anything.How Do You Host Casino Missions
As with Flea I have no experience in this matter. However, I consider myself a good 'tipper' in general so I'll comment with that in mind: If a host is just doing her normal job, giving you a room and/or food, a tip is not warranted. If you made her search on her computer for a half an hour (for what I don't know), or call people for 15-20 minutes, something that took up a chunk of her time, maybe something small is appropriate.Edit: Didn't actually answer your question, got taken off task. I've seen 'gift card, not cash' elsewhere on this site, not sure if it was 1BB.

I absolutely disagree with this. You can tip/bribe your way to better rooms/comps/free play.It's true hosts have some general guide lines, but oftentimes they are very flexible and will over comp. Tipping them gives them incentive to be more flexible with you.
Well tipped Hosts can even help you out in tricky situations and give you great information.
Some have even helped known AP's in gaming the system even after knowing the AP's are winning players.
If you are a regular losing ploppy a gift probably isn't needed.
How To Get A Casino Host At Aria
ive given more then one host pairs of ferragamo shoes- it always gets me back way more then the cost
You give $600 to $1000 shoes and get what? Walk me through it.
Do you call the host in advance, make a request and tell the host there's a pair of shoes in it for them? Do you show up, ask for an upgrade, get turned down, offer the shoes and then have your request granted? How else would you know if the bribe worked? Do you present the shoes upon checkout and then remind the host about them on the next visit?
The point is how do you know if the shoes worked or if you could have gotten some things just for the asking? If you're giving away thousands of dollars worth of shoes chances are you're a high roller and are already being taken care of.
I gave my host at a tribal joint a bottle of booze.
Did you then take it back?

How much should I play before I first contact a host? This is one of the most frequent questions I get and, unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Each casino has its ownparameters for its host system. However, it sometimes helps, for general guidelines, to divide casinos into three general categories, although keep in mind that this is a subjectiveevaluation.
• Top-level casinos -- These are usually the largest and/or classiest casinos, with luxury hotels attached and many extra amenities. They're often the newest -- although some are classicveterans. A general guideline might be that a dollar-machine player might want to wait until he has played two to three hours and a $5 player perhaps a half hour before approaching ahost. A couple who plays only quarters, but from morning to night, might want to consider doing so after one day of such heavy play.
• Low-level casinos -- These are usually the older and/or smaller casinos in a jurisdiction; they often look 'tired,' if not actually rundown and shabby. They sometimes don't offer anyaccommodations, and if they do, they're basic no-frills hotels or motels. Many don't even have a host system, but if they do, you can approach a host after an hour or two of quarter play or afew minutes at the dollar machines.
• Mid-level casinos – These are what you have if you can't place a casino in either a “top” or “bottom” category. Because there are so many of them, the range of compbenefits, thus the range of betting requirements, is broad. Off-Strip in Vegas and on riverboat casinos, both with a strong local market, comp requirements are usually based on a longer-termhistory of play, while casinos with a fly-in market give out comps on a trip basis. However, regular dollar players, even those playing only a couple of hours a day, will find that they'rewarmly welcomed by the hosts in most mid-level casinos, and heavy quarter players usually will also be surprised at the number of benefits they can receive.
But the best advice I can give you is to ASK. I don’t mean to ask a host for a specific comp, like a free meal. But it is always proper to speak to a host and in a polite,non-demanding tone ask for an explanation of the comp system. Although it is not out of line to talk to a host before you have played at a new casino, I suggest that players approach ahost after they have played to what they judge to be just below the bottom comp level. I have found that most hosts will try to “stretch” to offer comps to new players even if theiramount of play is on the borderline of their casino comp policy. And even if you don’t score a comp right then, you will get some information from the host so you will know how much youneed to play to get them in the future.
