Hey guys...
So I been playin baccarat since sept 2015 and i been been using the marker since then I have about 10k marker limit with casino near me.

And I'm ahead out to Vegas in July which I decided to open up 15k with Aria and also with mirage as well.... With that being said, those who using the marker in Vegas.. What's your experience with it? Do you like it? If not why?

For me I think it's great not have to worry about taking large cash to casino

My wife and I do Front Money (FM), wire in advance sometimes, if not just bring it, no big deal.  Most of the time I get the same consideration for comp's, although some of the newer hosts (younger ones) pressure players to open and maintain CL's as they know the majority will lose it anyways and promise you better and larger comps.  Although I am established at MGM and CET and Station casino chains, I won't do markers for stress reasons.  If you do not pay it back it is considered a criminal offense, plain and simple, not (NOT) civil matter.  Google it and look, in fact the Clark County DA's office has a huge casino marker prosecution unit.  Players do get into trouble by losing one marker that maybe they do have the funds in the bank to cover, but then they run to another casino and get set up with another one and lose that also.  Then when the casinos draft the money out in 30 days, if it is not in there it is a crime.

Personally, I think for clear mind and less stress, cash or front money is the way to go.  But I don't like playing on borrowed money or money that would have to be paid back anyways.  Just IMO.

Yeah I know about FM but if you are using the markers right I don't have over 20k and I wouldn't dare or couldnt gamble away 20k a night (losing) I usually pay it back soon as I'm up on table... I try not to play no more than 1 shoe at a time. I limit myself 3hrs max playing.

Comps are generally based off of a min of 4 hours play a day and then whatever level you are at, say RF&B and what level, like a reg room, suites, villa's, etc.  Too many variables.  I basically maintain the 1 or 2 bedroom suite level, full RFB&I (room food beverage and incidentals) etc.  My averages are $750 to $2,500 a hand in Vegas.  I do front money.  Never ever CL's.  Over 50k FM I do get some promo chips and some other rebates up front, but only because I have established play for many years.  Most promo and rebates start at the $100k CL or deposit levels at most places. 

Don't play for comps, take what they give you, otherwise you will get a new meaning to the words 'sucked in' if you lose.  The host's are champs at it and you better be careful.

My current play is anywhere between 200 upto 1500 average around 500 per hand according to my host only play Bacc not much of BJ any more... If I'm up 2k and more within first shoe then I slow down pay back marker then quit the game
