You get 2 comp rooms even on the weekends, and access to the lounges that used to be good but are now crap like everything else. You probably get better gift and promotion offers too. And premium parking. It's good for the semiyear you earn it in and the next one.

2 years ago I would have said "Don't leave home without it" but the service and promotions at FW have been so degraded since then it's only marginally worth it, as far as I can see.

You can get up to 2 free hotel rooms a week. HOWEVER ... there are a limited number of comped rooms available on any given day, and once they're booked up, you're SOL.

You also get a guaranteed 3 lounge accesses a day ... which you may or may not already get based on your current level of play.

Free day passes to G-SPA at MGM is clearly the best perk. Sadly, there are no barbells in the fitness room there.

Living in ONE casino 7 days a week is impossible. Don't you think the casino would start wondering what's up?

It might be possible to live in casinos full time in 2 places, but not one (3 casinos you definitely can as long as you have one that lets you do 3 nights / week for free).

I have a sagamore card at mohegan and can book 3 nights / week online for free and there's no days that say they aren't available for me. Then again, I got the card in 1 day's play.

I would say booking 7 nights in a row comped at a casino might be possible, but you can't do it every week.

Sagamore Card is 1600 points, yes? That's one helluva 1-day run

I'm only a Player's Club member (used to be Wolf Club) and still get most nights free, except for those nights when they have a big concert.

Yep, it's 1600 points.

I'm not the only one to obtain it in 1 day.

When you have an average bet of over $1000 for 20+ hours it's not that hard to get that level of play.

They must have had loads of people get this. Too bad there's little benefit from having the status, except for a free meal or room when you're in the area.

Sagamore is still a crappy level, you get junk offers no weekends, and crappy concert tickets. If I am not mistaken it takes 1600 points if your at wolf level first.

The next two higher levels which they dont advertise at MS is Sachem and then the highest I know of is Club Sachem.

At Club Sachem level you can meet with the stars .. I know that as a fact.

Sachem gets you almost anything.... Club Sachem will get you a room even if they have to throw someone out of a room. We've gotten a room at 9pm on a Saturday night even when they had a sold out concert --- Grateful Dead... I bet those dead heads sleeping in the lobby where not happy with us lol

An average bet of 1,000 for 20+ hrs??? and you only got a sagamore card... thats worthless.

At 14% earnings per hr x 1,000 hr ave = $140/ hr.. at 20 hrs you earned $2,800 points... you should have jumped a few levels... and if they didnt offer you a sachem card .. watch out.. they will be on to you like flies on **** because there are very very very few good/decent players at MS who play at that level and now they know to look for you.

Dont get me wrong, I've played with guys betting $500-$3000 at MS, but they were no counter and if they had any special technique you couldnt prove it by me. Raising bets only on a win and staying at min otherwise.... nothing special.

There are the occassional "artists" that show up and do some eye popping stuff, but not very many... they go where the brush strokes are easier to apply.

It's possible to be Sagamore and have free rooms available 7 nights a week, even at the last minute. ADT must factor in somehow.

You may be correct, but from my experience, about 6 months ago they used to offer Sagamore level free rooms on Fri and Sat nights too, but recently it is only on a limited basis (an occassional fri/ sat night which they must have determined in the past for some reason- like Jewish holidays, that business will be below normal) based on the recent mailers we get. I am sure if the joint is empty on a weekend night they would offer a free room to a Sag member or a recently downgraded Sachem member if you pushed a pit supervisor or host.

The unadvertised Sachem/ Club Sachem members get free Suites, the only time you will get "just a room" is if there is absolutely not a single bed available.
