Is there any need for a casino host?

Answer 1

Over the years, I've had many people ask, why choose an independent casino host rather than deal directly with each casino? It's a question worth asking, especially if you've only dealt directly with the casino or you are new to the gaming world. Going to a Las Vegas casino with not only a host, but with an independent one, will absolutely make your experience more enjoyable.

There are three main reasons for choosing an independent host over dealing with the casinos directly for yourself:

• Firstly, and most importantly, an independent host will act on your behalf with the casinos. Often, as in our case, we rely on many years experience in dealing with casinos to ensure clients receive the most in return for their casino play. A good host will work to earn their clients "comps" before they walk through the doors of the casino. Just as important, an independent host also reconciles your comps after your casino visit to ensure you're being treated fairly.

• Second, aside for usual trips to Las Vegas, when people plan casino adventures, they often look to escape for a "get away" and check out several options in the Caribbean. Throw in the occasional trip to Atlantic City or New Orleans and you're potentially dealing with several casino hosts, if you deal with them directly. By working solely with an independent host, you avoid the hassle of having to deal individually with each casino. With an independent host, you can take comfort in dealing with someone who understands who you are, what you like and what kind of player you are. It's a one-stop service for every casino you may want to visit.

• Finally, have you ever heard the old adage, "Two hosts are better than one"? When you work with an independent host, you are also assigned an on-site host as well. Together, these two hosts provide you with an elevated level of service before, during and after your stay. However, the big advantage with having an independent host is that the on-site host works solely for the casino while the independent host works for you.

Going with an independent casino host, like my personal favorite, The Casino Marketing Group provides exceptional customer service and they will work to earn their clients comps before they walk through the doors of the casino. This group has been in business for over 35 years and it shows.

The bottom line is that the success of your independent host depends on her/his relationship with you, the client, knowing exactly what you want and how to service your needs.

Success is also derived from the hosts' relationships with the casinos that they represent. When you add additional services including travel, restaurant and entertainment reservations, and recommendations, you truly have a one-stop service for all your casino related entertainment.
