The real insider's guide to casino comps at Wynn. Winnie Lee — a VIP host at Wynn for 15+ years — explains exactly how the rating system works, what you can ask for, and the mistakes most guests make.
"How do I get comped at Wynn?" is the most common question I get from new guests. The answer isn't complicated — but it requires understanding how Wynn's comp system actually works, which most guests never learn.
I'm Winnie Lee, a VIP host at Wynn Las Vegas. In this guide I'll explain exactly how casino comps work at Wynn, what you're eligible for, and the most effective way to get them.
Casino comps — short for "complimentaries" — are free goods and services the casino provides based on your play. At Wynn Las Vegas, comps fall into two categories:
Most guests only get program comps. The guests who get the best value are the ones who have an active relationship with a VIP host — because discretionary comps can be worth far more than your automatic COMP DOLLARS.
Your comp eligibility is determined by your theoretical win — the amount the casino expects to win from your play based on the house edge, your average bet, and how long you play.
For slots, this is tracked automatically when your Wynn Rewards card is inserted. For table games, a floor supervisor "rates" your play by observing your average bet and session length. Poker is rated based on rake paid.
The formula looks something like this:
Theoretical win = Average bet × Hands/spins per hour × Hours played × House edge
Host Tip
Always ask the dealer to "rate" your play before you sit down at a table game — not after. Once you've played without being rated, those hands can't be recovered. Rated play is the foundation of all discretionary comps.
Wynn is one of the most generous luxury properties in Las Vegas with comps — but it's a five-star resort, so the expectations are higher. Here's what guests at different play levels typically receive:
At this level, your primary comp currency is COMP DOLLARS from the rewards program. You'll accumulate credits for dining and retail. You may also receive occasional invitations to promotional events and offers for discounted room rates.
Discretionary comps at this level include: dining credits, show tickets at discounted or complimentary rates, and room rate discounts on non-peak nights.
At this play level, comps get significantly more interesting. Guests can typically discuss:
At higher play levels, Wynn's comp generosity becomes truly exceptional. Complimentary suites, private gaming arrangements, access to high-limit salons, and full-trip packages become available. This is also where a dedicated VIP host relationship becomes most valuable — your host becomes the primary person coordinating all of these benefits.
Many guests feel uncomfortable asking for comps. They shouldn't — requesting comps is completely normal and expected. Here's how to do it effectively:
Host Tip
The best time to contact your host is 1–2 weeks before your trip. This gives enough time to arrange room requests, dining reservations, and any special needs — and to have a comp conversation before you've already booked everything at rack rate.
After 15 years in this role, these are the patterns I see most often from guests who leave value on the table:
Here's the honest version of what I do for my guests that they can't do for themselves through the Wynn Rewards program alone:
How long does it take to get a comp at Wynn?
Program comps (COMP DOLLARS) start accruing from your first session. Discretionary comps depend on your established play history — often 1–2 trips before a host has enough data to advocate effectively for room comps and bigger benefits.
Do you have to be a big gambler to get comped at Wynn?
No — but your comp level is proportional to your play. Casual players still receive program comps (COMP DOLLARS) that add up over time. Discretionary comps from a host scale with your average wagering level.
Can a VIP host comp my room?
Hosts have discretionary comp budgets that can include room nights, particularly for guests with established play histories. The strongest comp relationships are built over multiple visits, not from a single trip.
What's the difference between Wynn comps and other Strip casinos?
Wynn is a five-star property, so the minimum play thresholds for comps are higher than budget-tier casinos. However, the quality of what you receive — a dinner at one of Wynn's restaurants, a suite upgrade, a show — is substantially better than comp-equivalent benefits at lower-tier properties.
