Just so I can look for it one day, where would this new forum go? Under the Miles & Points section? Or Travel & Dining? Just curious...

But in the end we decided to leave its exact placement to the discretion of Randy/the House of Miles.

my suggestion was :
Worldwide Gaming and Casino Frequent Customer (Player) Reward (Comp) Programs
I'm thinking "Reward" instead of "Award" as the biggest program out there is Harrah's "Total Rewards" -- so I'm guessing "Rewards" would be the more common nomenclature.

LOL, I've already been in Atlantic City celebrating since Saturday, and a what a celebration it has been. 
Though, for the life of me, I'm still trying to figure out how Harrah's posted approximately 500 tier (and over 3000 RCs) to my Total Rewards account for under 2 hours of dice play at Showboat - Atlantic City.

Thanks TB.
Name: "Casino Player Loyalty Programs."
And, again, the LAS forum ought to be easy to get to/from the new forum (say, by an additional link under LAS forum).

I'm excited while reading about this new forum while listening to Villina C; thank you, baccarat_king, for pursuing this.

Tip for whoever gets the job of identifying threads for moving into a gaming rewards forum:
Please check 'Other Australian/Asian FFPs' for threads on Viva Macau; while it is a LCC with a doubtful future, it targets Aussies visiting Macau and I imagine frequenting gaming joints owned by Sands and Crown.
Given the airline is discounting as far as AUD$180+ fares in July (SYD rt under AUD$700) I think you'll find some interest in thse threads on trips to visit the current and imminent casinos owned by these companies.
Is it reasonable to think about whether Sands and Crown would comp or discount fare/hotel packages to their rated players? (not me
but I'll visit sometime)
