gonna do some traveling soon and i'm considering playing for comps at a casino i stay at to try and get free lodging / food during an extended stay.
does anyone have much experience with this? lets say casino charges ~60 per night. how long would u have to play betting around $50 - $200 per hand to continuously get your room comped?
specifically i'll be staying at one of the casinos in tunica mississippi. any advice much appreciated

From my experience, if you spend any time at the tables at all....The Fitz in Tunica always did me real good on rooms and buffets and I am far from a high roller. Their buffet is tremendous, one of the best I ever had......I think the reason they are more free with their comps is because they are not used to real big action. On that note, if you go in betting black minimum then you could encounter problems....We played green there and done real well. The bigger places like Harrahs...aka the old Grand just get too much big action to take care of me properly....YMMV!
You should not play blackjack for room comps. On your first trip stay someplace cheap and pay for your room for the first night or two, Then spread play around Tunica and you'll get more comps for free rooms in the mail than you can ever use. Ask for food comps from hosts as you go (that way you're not obligated to play) and after a couple of days of play if you want to hit them up for a free room you'll likely be given one based only on your play. It's a bad idea to play for comps, in order to last any length of time you'll have to play a weak game and you'd be better off just paying for a room. Hotel rooms in Tunica are dirt cheap during the week and at casinos they give free rooms away for just threatening to pull money out of your pocket. Weekends are a bit harder to get comped up front on first visit so just shop around and stay off-site.
Microtel or days inn Tunica are around $50-60/night if you want somewhere to stay that isn't associated with a casino. They aren't fancy, but they are decent. I haven't spent much time there, but Harrahs comped my stay with no play based on previous activity on my TR card. If you have one, log into your account and see what they are offering. That is, if you aren't already getting meaningful value from their mailers. If you are, don't mess up your ADT.
I read somewhere that people who play both BJ & VP (at the same location) may do this. Briefly explain to he PB that "playing table games messes with my video machine points & comps", or something of that nature.
