should i accept this comp????

Use the comp and play unrated at other MGM properties. (Stay and Stiff).

The comp was based on your play at your Home casino.
You are not guaranteeing any play at the Inviting casino.
Remember you shouldn't play where you stay anyway unless you play other games there to throw them a bone.

get the comp at Bellagio and then play else where , safest bet. Same games can be found all over the strip at the 25 dollar level. At those levels you should be fine especially if you play thurs-sunday in vegas. YOU DO NOT WANT TO PLAY RATED DOUBLE DECK IN VEGAS IN YOUR REAL NAME WHATEVER YOU DO !

what would happen if I play rated dd in vegas? would
I be barred from all mgm properties?? from all of vegas???

if I don't play rated at mgm property that I stay at
per m life program then won't my home casino in
northern calif that co sponsors this program be
notified that I stiffed the program and then they
the home casino will take action against me??

If you play rated and are barred by MGM it will cost you your ability to play rated at all MGM properties in the world and possibly your partner casino back home. Casinos in Vegas tend only to report backoffs to sister casinos inside their chain with a few exceptions (Boyd, Stratosphere and a few others report to Biometrica, Cosmopolitan reports to OSN).

No they won't. Your home base casino really doesn't care what MGM/MIrage thinks of your profitability. Maybe you got to Vegas and hated their casinos. Your up-front comp is based on your previous play at your home base casino and there are no play requirements so stay there and play elsewhere. Protect your real name and real players card for when you really need it. A well connected friend told me that most people in Griffin and Biometrica who aren't already notorious team players got there by playing double deck on the Las Vegas Strip or elsewhere around the country. you will make more money playing the shoes, the rules are better, you can spread massively, and use virtually zero cover. Just keep your sessions reasonable (i.e, don't just sit there going from min to max to min to max multiple times). If you play long enough even players on shoe games get nailed.
