Casino Camping – What are Casinos Doing to Attract You?

With gas prices up and worries about the economy casinos are hurting for business.  This sometimes creates a good climate for the player.  Marketing and promotions have always been important to casinos but even more so now.  Since we’re fully into the summer, and most RVers have been out for at least one trip, it seems like a good time to ask you what you’re seeing out there across the country.  What are casinos doing to get your business?

Where is the free gas?

Where around the country have you seen free gas used as an incentive to visit a casino?  Tell us the details; is it a gas card give away, or a discount or points-for-gas at the casino owned station, or other scenario.  The casino gas station in the photo is Little Creek Casino in Shelton, WA.  Last we heard you could redeem your slot club points for gas there.  Thanks to our website reader T. J. for this photo.  Where have you found fuel bargains?

Any amazing offers you’ve received?

What casinos have offered you more than ever before to visit them.   We’ve received some amazing offers in the mail from some places.  For example, Hollywood casino in south Mississippi doubled our previous offers for free nights in the RV park, buffets, and free rounds of golf.  Plus, their free play offer has been several times more than in the past.  What has been your experience?

How about overnight RV parking and camping?

Are you aware of any casinos that have become more accommodating to overnight RV parking to gain our business?  Where have you received increased comps for nights in casino RV parks?  Some of you may be like me, and enjoy talking with casino personnel about what they’re doing or planning, share what you’ve learned with us.

Any places where you’ve seen the opposite?

Most casinos are loosening up on promotions and comps to get you in the door.  Have you seen any that are tightening their belts and giving less?  I’m going to guess that casinos without local competition may be tempted to do this, or at least to try!  What have you seen?

Post a comment below, or here’s a link to a thread on the Open Road’s Forum so we can talk about it.

Happy travels, and good luck in the casinos,
