The MGM Mirage group is making some very good offers of free play this winter, particularly the lower end places (Monte Carlo and New York, NY). The benefits are best if you visit on an invitation from Casino Marketing. The casino hosts are very limited in their ability to give freeplay once you have arrived. Suites are pretty commonly offered now, as many of them are empty midweek anyway. If you have a job and time to travel, or are retired, this is the "Best of times" for players in Las Vegas!

If you want your mailbox full of offers, just go to each casino's web-site and give them your email address. You may be surprised at what shows up!
