Good idea, and not just because you are supporting the club by booking using the convention rate. When you buy a vacation package, part of the room price is tied into agreements the hotels have with the airlines. As such, the room is prepaid by the travel agent, and you can't have a casino host adjust your room charges based on your casino play. Even if you gamble small, you still might get a host to give you one of the nights free when you check out, if you book the room through the hotel. Always ask!
