'A host provides the best restaurants and nightclub tables so I don't have to deal direct and run the risk of non-personalized service,' says Stardust Pictures producer Justin Levine. Executive Casino Hosts earn $48,000 annually on average, or $23 per hour, which is 32% less than the national average for all working Americans. Our data indicates that the best paid Executive Casino Hosts work for Pechanga Resort and Casino at $54,000 annually while the lowest paid Executive Casino Hosts work for Mohegan Sun earning. When divided by the 365 days in a year, the result is about $73,000 each day. This is only a mean number, however. Some casinos make much more, while others make much less.

Casino Host Salaries

I know a friend who coin-in $100,000 on SLOTS(6%-8% hold) each day when he goes to a casino, and he never talk to a host or get any perks. He can definitely ask for rooms and food comps but those have no cash value.
Can he ask for free play or anything equivalent like visa gift card? If so, can he ask for $1000 free play each day? Is that too much or too less? Is it embarrassing to ask every day?(with 100K coin-in each day)
I only tried to ask for rooms before, but never free play. How would the host react if you ask for free play? Are they more willing to give room and food?

I find it difficult to believe he gets no freeplay at that level. I would switch casinos.
$1000 a day is high. Most casinos have caps on how much they will allot per day. I have seen $125 caps on the low end. $300 - 500 is an average cap. Rarely have I seen $1000 possible regardless of play.
These days hosts dont give out discretionary freeplay too much. Its mostly automated
Every casino is different however

I ran a quick calculation on the Vegas Tripping comp calculator. If your friend truly plays $100k coin in per day his expected loss per day shows to be $8100.
Comps from the various buckets can be a wide variety of percentages of that ADT, but suffice it to say his comps should be really good.
No one should play for comps but, unless you are trying to stay as incognito as possible (which doesn't really work all that well), everyone should ask for any comps they can get. No, don't play for comps as the average gambler (APs do some different stuff) but get all of the comps they will give you.
If someone plays at his level, they should have hosts introducing themselves. If no one seems interested in his play and he isn't getting offers and host attention, it would seem to me he is leaving money on the table--he should be getting free play, meals, and probably a nice suite.
I play a very small fraction of that and I can get free rooms and a little free play all over Vegas and at all the locals..and that is going very few times per year--once or twice to Vegas and a couple of times to locals.
No mailers? No host? Does the casino have a hotel and/or restaurants? My skeptical side says that it would be impossible (or nearly so) to play that much and get nothing at all.

Your friend should be able to get a Host to give him $1,000 free play if he is playing $100,000 coin in each day he plays. It's the least that they could do. :) Maybe he can get double free play. Free play from the Host AND free play from the usual Casino Free Play. :)

The LEAST they could do is nothing

Are you sure he is coining in 100k per day on slots? The host should be sending hookers and blow to his comped suite.
You should be sending him GA pamphlets.
Have him use your card for just one day, negotiate a deal if you have to.

The retired doctor in the Louis Theroux documentary was playing the dollar slots every day and they were comping her everything. I think they even joked they were going to have her funeral at the casino. I would think $100k a day on the line would be getting into high roller territory at almost any casino in Vegas. (But I don't really know, I'm not a slot guy.)
