If i sit down at a table with $500 and bet it all in one hand and lose I would get virtually no comp dollars.
Now if I sit with $500 and play $75 hands for 4 hours, then I will be looking really good in their system.
Of course they keep a log of how much you cash in at the table, but to earn big comps, you have to actually play for a good amount of time

I agree and understand your point - you miss mine completely.
I am NOT talking about earning comp dollars, I am talking about getting UPFRONT comps. You are working the marketers, not the comp/points system. It is VERY discretionary.
What you then earn as play comps is extra, because when you call the Mandalay Bay and say "I want a $xxxxx marker and I have compe room, meals and limo from Harrahs", they will many times outdo if they KNOW you do come to gamble.
It works.
